8e07c86e 346The extension you are trying to build apparently is rather old and
347most probably outdated. We detect that from the fact, that a
348subroutine "writeMakefile" is called, and this subroutine is not
349supported anymore since about October 1994.
40000a8c 350
4633a7c4 351Please contact the author or look into CPAN (details about CPAN can be
352found in the FAQ and at http:/www.perl.com) for a more recent version
353of the extension. If you're really desperate, you can try to change
354the subroutine name from writeMakefile to WriteMakefile and rerun
355'perl Makefile.PL', but you're most probably left alone, when you do
356so.

868
869C<WriteMakefile( ATTRIBUTE =E<gt> VALUE [, ...] );>

874
005c1a0e 875=head1 DESCRIPTION
876
877This utility is designed to write a Makefile for an extension module
878from a Makefile.PL. It is based on the Makefile.SH model provided by
879Andy Dougherty and the perl5-porters.
880
881It splits the task of generating the Makefile into several subroutines
882that can be individually overridden. Each subroutine returns the text
883it wishes to have written to the Makefile.
884
f1387719 885MakeMaker is object oriented. Each directory below the current
886directory that contains a Makefile.PL. Is treated as a separate
887object. This makes it possible to write an unlimited number of
888Makefiles with a single invocation of WriteMakefile().
8e07c86e 889
f1387719 890=head2 How To Write A Makefile.PL
8e07c86e 891
bab2b58e 892The short answer is: Don't.
893
894 Always begin with h2xs.
895 Always begin with h2xs!
896 ALWAYS BEGIN WITH H2XS!
897
898even if you're not building around a header file, and even if you
899don't have an XS component.
900
901Run h2xs(1) before you start thinking about writing a module. For so
902called pm-only modules that consist of C<*.pm> files only, h2xs has
903the C<-X> switch. This will generate dummy files of all kinds that are
904useful for the module developer.
8e07c86e 905
f1387719 906The medium answer is:
8e07c86e 907
f1387719 908 use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
909 WriteMakefile( NAME => "Foo::Bar" );
8e07c86e 910
bab2b58e 911The long answer is the rest of the manpage :-)
005c1a0e 912
913=head2 Default Makefile Behaviour
914
f1387719 915The generated Makefile enables the user of the extension to invoke
005c1a0e 916
917 perl Makefile.PL # optionally "perl Makefile.PL verbose"
918 make
8e07c86e 919 make test # optionally set TEST_VERBOSE=1
920 make install # See below
005c1a0e 921
922The Makefile to be produced may be altered by adding arguments of the
e05e23b1 923form C<KEY=VALUE>. E.g.
005c1a0e 924
e05e23b1 925 perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/tmp/myperl5
005c1a0e 926
927Other interesting targets in the generated Makefile are
928
929 make config # to check if the Makefile is up-to-date
8e07c86e 930 make clean # delete local temp files (Makefile gets renamed)
931 make realclean # delete derived files (including ./blib)
e05e23b1 932 make ci # check in all the files in the MANIFEST file
005c1a0e 933 make dist # see below the Distribution Support section
934
e05e23b1 935=head2 make test
936
bab2b58e 937MakeMaker checks for the existence of a file named F<test.pl> in the
e05e23b1 938current directory and if it exists it adds commands to the test target
939of the generated Makefile that will execute the script with the proper
940set of perl C<-I> options.
941
942MakeMaker also checks for any files matching glob("t/*.t"). It will
943add commands to the test target of the generated Makefile that execute
944all matching files via the L<Test::Harness> module with the C<-I>
945switches set correctly.
946
bab2b58e 947=head2 make testdb
948
949A useful variation of the above is the target C<testdb>. It runs the
950test under the Perl debugger (see L<perldebug>). If the file
951F<test.pl> exists in the current directory, it is used for the test.
952
953If you want to debug some other testfile, set C<TEST_FILE> variable
954thusly:
955
956 make testdb TEST_FILE=t/mytest.t
957
958By default the debugger is called using C<-d> option to perl. If you
959want to specify some other option, set C<TESTDB_SW> variable:
960
961 make testdb TESTDB_SW=-Dx
962
e05e23b1 963=head2 make install
005c1a0e 964
8e07c86e 965make alone puts all relevant files into directories that are named by
f1387719 966the macros INST_LIB, INST_ARCHLIB, INST_SCRIPT, INST_MAN1DIR, and
967INST_MAN3DIR. All these default to something below ./blib if you are
968I<not> building below the perl source directory. If you I<are>
8e07c86e 969building below the perl source, INST_LIB and INST_ARCHLIB default to
5b195008 970 ../../lib, and INST_SCRIPT is not defined.
005c1a0e 971
e05e23b1 972The I<install> target of the generated Makefile copies the files found
973below each of the INST_* directories to their INSTALL*
974counterparts. Which counterparts are chosen depends on the setting of
975INSTALLDIRS according to the following table:
005c1a0e 976
e05e23b1 977 INSTALLDIRS set to
978 perl site
979
e05e23b1 980 INST_ARCHLIB INSTALLARCHLIB INSTALLSITEARCH
3b03c0f3 981 INST_LIB INSTALLPRIVLIB INSTALLSITELIB
f1387719 982 INST_BIN INSTALLBIN
983 INST_SCRIPT INSTALLSCRIPT
e05e23b1 984 INST_MAN1DIR INSTALLMAN1DIR
985 INST_MAN3DIR INSTALLMAN3DIR
005c1a0e 986
8e07c86e 987The INSTALL... macros in turn default to their %Config
988($Config{installprivlib}, $Config{installarchlib}, etc.) counterparts.
005c1a0e 989
3b03c0f3 990You can check the values of these variables on your system with
991
bab2b58e 992 perl '-V:install.*'
3b03c0f3 993
f1387719 994And to check the sequence in which the library directories are
995searched by perl, run
005c1a0e 996
f1387719 997 perl -le 'print join $/, @INC'
005c1a0e 998
005c1a0e 999
bab2b58e 1000=head2 PREFIX and LIB attribute
1001
1002PREFIX and LIB can be used to set several INSTALL* attributes in one
1003go. The quickest way to install a module in a non-standard place might
1004be
1005
1006 perl Makefile.PL LIB=~/lib
005c1a0e 1007
bab2b58e 1008This will install the module's architecture-independent files into
1009~/lib, the architecture-dependent files into ~/lib/$archname/auto.
1010
1011Another way to specify many INSTALL directories with a single
1012parameter is PREFIX.
005c1a0e 1013
8e07c86e 1014 perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~
005c1a0e 1015
0d8023a2 1016This will replace the string specified by $Config{prefix} in all
1017$Config{install*} values.
005c1a0e 1018
bab2b58e 1019Note, that in both cases the tilde expansion is done by MakeMaker, not
1020by perl by default, nor by make. Conflicts between parmeters LIB,
1021PREFIX and the various INSTALL* arguments are resolved so that
1022XXX
005c1a0e 1023
005c1a0e 1024If the user has superuser privileges, and is not working on AFS
1025(Andrew File System) or relatives, then the defaults for
f1387719 1026INSTALLPRIVLIB, INSTALLARCHLIB, INSTALLSCRIPT, etc. will be appropriate,
005c1a0e 1027and this incantation will be the best:
1028
1029 perl Makefile.PL; make; make test
1030 make install
1031
8e07c86e 1032make install per default writes some documentation of what has been
e05e23b1 1033done into the file C<$(INSTALLARCHLIB)/perllocal.pod>. This feature
1034can be bypassed by calling make pure_install.
8e07c86e 1035
1036=head2 AFS users
1037
1038will have to specify the installation directories as these most
1039probably have changed since perl itself has been installed. They will
1040have to do this by calling
1041
e05e23b1 1042 perl Makefile.PL INSTALLSITELIB=/afs/here/today \
f1387719 1043 INSTALLSCRIPT=/afs/there/now INSTALLMAN3DIR=/afs/for/manpages
8e07c86e 1044 make
1045
e05e23b1 1046Be careful to repeat this procedure every time you recompile an
1047extension, unless you are sure the AFS installation directories are
1048still valid.
005c1a0e 1049
8e07c86e 1050=head2 Static Linking of a new Perl Binary
005c1a0e 1051
1052An extension that is built with the above steps is ready to use on
1053systems supporting dynamic loading. On systems that do not support
1054dynamic loading, any newly created extension has to be linked together
1055with the available resources. MakeMaker supports the linking process
1056by creating appropriate targets in the Makefile whenever an extension
1057is built. You can invoke the corresponding section of the makefile with
1058
1059 make perl
1060
1061That produces a new perl binary in the current directory with all
e05e23b1 1062extensions linked in that can be found in INST_ARCHLIB , SITELIBEXP,
1063and PERL_ARCHLIB. To do that, MakeMaker writes a new Makefile, on
1064UNIX, this is called Makefile.aperl (may be system dependent). If you
1065want to force the creation of a new perl, it is recommended, that you
1066delete this Makefile.aperl, so the directories are searched-through
1067for linkable libraries again.
005c1a0e 1068
1069The binary can be installed into the directory where perl normally
1070resides on your machine with
1071
1072 make inst_perl
1073
1074To produce a perl binary with a different name than C<perl>, either say
1075
1076 perl Makefile.PL MAP_TARGET=myperl
1077 make myperl
1078 make inst_perl
1079
1080or say
1081
1082 perl Makefile.PL
1083 make myperl MAP_TARGET=myperl
1084 make inst_perl MAP_TARGET=myperl
1085
1086In any case you will be prompted with the correct invocation of the
1087C<inst_perl> target that installs the new binary into INSTALLBIN.
1088
8e07c86e 1089make inst_perl per default writes some documentation of what has been
1090done into the file C<$(INSTALLARCHLIB)/perllocal.pod>. This
1091can be bypassed by calling make pure_inst_perl.
005c1a0e 1092
e05e23b1 1093Warning: the inst_perl: target will most probably overwrite your
1094existing perl binary. Use with care!
005c1a0e 1095
8e07c86e 1096Sometimes you might want to build a statically linked perl although
1097your system supports dynamic loading. In this case you may explicitly
1098set the linktype with the invocation of the Makefile.PL or make:
1099
1100 perl Makefile.PL LINKTYPE=static # recommended
1101
1102or
1103
1104 make LINKTYPE=static # works on most systems
1105
005c1a0e 1106=head2 Determination of Perl Library and Installation Locations
1107
1108MakeMaker needs to know, or to guess, where certain things are
e05e23b1 1109located. Especially INST_LIB and INST_ARCHLIB (where to put the files
1110during the make(1) run), PERL_LIB and PERL_ARCHLIB (where to read
1111existing modules from), and PERL_INC (header files and C<libperl*.*>).
005c1a0e 1112
1113Extensions may be built either using the contents of the perl source
e05e23b1 1114directory tree or from the installed perl library. The recommended way
1115is to build extensions after you have run 'make install' on perl
1116itself. You can do that in any directory on your hard disk that is not
1117below the perl source tree. The support for extensions below the ext
1118directory of the perl distribution is only good for the standard
1119extensions that come with perl.
005c1a0e 1120
1121If an extension is being built below the C<ext/> directory of the perl
e05e23b1 1122source then MakeMaker will set PERL_SRC automatically (e.g.,
1123C<../..>). If PERL_SRC is defined and the extension is recognized as
1124a standard extension, then other variables default to the following:
005c1a0e 1125
1126 PERL_INC = PERL_SRC
1127 PERL_LIB = PERL_SRC/lib
1128 PERL_ARCHLIB = PERL_SRC/lib
1129 INST_LIB = PERL_LIB
1130 INST_ARCHLIB = PERL_ARCHLIB
1131
1132If an extension is being built away from the perl source then MakeMaker
1133will leave PERL_SRC undefined and default to using the installed copy
1134of the perl library. The other variables default to the following:
1135
e05e23b1 1136 PERL_INC = $archlibexp/CORE
1137 PERL_LIB = $privlibexp
1138 PERL_ARCHLIB = $archlibexp
1139 INST_LIB = ./blib/lib
1140 INST_ARCHLIB = ./blib/arch
005c1a0e 1141
1142If perl has not yet been installed then PERL_SRC can be defined on the
1143command line as shown in the previous section.
1144
005c1a0e 1145
f1387719 1146=head2 Which architecture dependent directory?
005c1a0e 1147
f1387719 1148If you don't want to keep the defaults for the INSTALL* macros,
1149MakeMaker helps you to minimize the typing needed: the usual
1150relationship between INSTALLPRIVLIB and INSTALLARCHLIB is determined
1151by Configure at perl compilation time. MakeMaker supports the user who
1152sets INSTALLPRIVLIB. If INSTALLPRIVLIB is set, but INSTALLARCHLIB not,
1153then MakeMaker defaults the latter to be the same subdirectory of
1154INSTALLPRIVLIB as Configure decided for the counterparts in %Config ,
1155otherwise it defaults to INSTALLPRIVLIB. The same relationship holds
1156for INSTALLSITELIB and INSTALLSITEARCH.
005c1a0e 1157
f1387719 1158MakeMaker gives you much more freedom than needed to configure
1159internal variables and get different results. It is worth to mention,
1160that make(1) also lets you configure most of the variables that are
1161used in the Makefile. But in the majority of situations this will not
1162be necessary, and should only be done, if the author of a package
1163recommends it (or you know what you're doing).
005c1a0e 1164
e05e23b1 1165=head2 Using Attributes and Parameters
005c1a0e 1166
1167The following attributes can be specified as arguments to WriteMakefile()
1168or as NAME=VALUE pairs on the command line:
1169
8e07c86e 1170=cut
005c1a0e 1171
864a5fa8 1172# The following "=item C" is used by the attrib_help routine
8e07c86e 1173# likewise the "=back" below. So be careful when changing it!
1174
1175=over 2
1176
864a5fa8 1177=item C
8e07c86e 1178
864a5fa8 1179Ref to array of *.c file names. Initialised from a directory scan
1180and the values portion of the XS attribute hash. This is not
1181currently used by MakeMaker but may be handy in Makefile.PLs.
8e07c86e 1182
84902520 1183=item CCFLAGS
1184
1185String that will be included in the compiler call command line between
1186the arguments INC and OPTIMIZE.
1187
864a5fa8 1188=item CONFIG
8e07c86e 1189
864a5fa8 1190Arrayref. E.g. [qw(archname manext)] defines ARCHNAME & MANEXT from
1191config.sh. MakeMaker will add to CONFIG the following values anyway:
1192ar
1193cc
1194cccdlflags
1195ccdlflags
1196dlext
1197dlsrc
1198ld
1199lddlflags
1200ldflags
1201libc
1202lib_ext
1203obj_ext
1204ranlib
e05e23b1 1205sitelibexp
1206sitearchexp
864a5fa8 1207so
8e07c86e 1208
1209=item CONFIGURE
1210
e05e23b1 1211CODE reference. The subroutine should return a hash reference. The
1fef88e7 1212hash may contain further attributes, e.g. {LIBS =E<gt> ...}, that have to
8e07c86e 1213be determined by some evaluation method.
1214
864a5fa8 1215=item DEFINE
8e07c86e 1216
864a5fa8 1217Something like C<"-DHAVE_UNISTD_H">
8e07c86e 1218
864a5fa8 1219=item DIR
8e07c86e 1220
864a5fa8 1221Ref to array of subdirectories containing Makefile.PLs e.g. [ 'sdbm'
1222] in ext/SDBM_File
8e07c86e 1223
864a5fa8 1224=item DISTNAME
8e07c86e 1225
e05e23b1 1226Your name for distributing the package (by tar file). This defaults to
864a5fa8 1227NAME above.
8e07c86e 1228
864a5fa8 1229=item DL_FUNCS
8e07c86e 1230
864a5fa8 1231Hashref of symbol names for routines to be made available as
1232universal symbols. Each key/value pair consists of the package name
1233and an array of routine names in that package. Used only under AIX
1234(export lists) and VMS (linker options) at present. The routine
1235names supplied will be expanded in the same way as XSUB names are
1236expanded by the XS() macro. Defaults to
8e07c86e 1237
864a5fa8 1238 {"$(NAME)" => ["boot_$(NAME)" ] }
8e07c86e 1239
864a5fa8 1240e.g.
8e07c86e 1241
864a5fa8 1242 {"RPC" => [qw( boot_rpcb rpcb_gettime getnetconfigent )],
1243 "NetconfigPtr" => [ 'DESTROY'] }
8e07c86e 1244
864a5fa8 1245=item DL_VARS
8e07c86e 1246
864a5fa8 1247Array of symbol names for variables to be made available as
1248universal symbols. Used only under AIX (export lists) and VMS
1249(linker options) at present. Defaults to []. (e.g. [ qw(
1250Foo_version Foo_numstreams Foo_tree ) ])
8e07c86e 1251
f1387719 1252=item EXCLUDE_EXT
1253
1254Array of extension names to exclude when doing a static build. This
1255is ignored if INCLUDE_EXT is present. Consult INCLUDE_EXT for more
1256details. (e.g. [ qw( Socket POSIX ) ] )
1257
1258This attribute may be most useful when specified as a string on the
1259commandline: perl Makefile.PL EXCLUDE_EXT='Socket Safe'
1260
864a5fa8 1261=item EXE_FILES
8e07c86e 1262
864a5fa8 1263Ref to array of executable files. The files will be copied to the
f1387719 1264INST_SCRIPT directory. Make realclean will delete them from there
864a5fa8 1265again.
8e07c86e 1266
3b03c0f3 1267=item NO_VC
1268
1269In general any generated Makefile checks for the current version of
1270MakeMaker and the version the Makefile was built under. If NO_VC is
1271set, the version check is neglected. Do not write this into your
1272Makefile.PL, use it interactively instead.
1273
864a5fa8 1274=item FIRST_MAKEFILE
1275
1276The name of the Makefile to be produced. Defaults to the contents of
1277MAKEFILE, but can be overridden. This is used for the second Makefile
1278that will be produced for the MAP_TARGET.
1279
1280=item FULLPERL
8e07c86e 1281
864a5fa8 1282Perl binary able to run this extension.
1283
1284=item H
1285
1286Ref to array of *.h file names. Similar to C.
1287
84902520 1288=item IMPORTS
1289
1290IMPORTS is only used on OS/2.
1291
864a5fa8 1292=item INC
1293
1294Include file dirs eg: C<"-I/usr/5include -I/path/to/inc">
1295
f1387719 1296=item INCLUDE_EXT
1297
1298Array of extension names to be included when doing a static build.
1299MakeMaker will normally build with all of the installed extensions when
1300doing a static build, and that is usually the desired behavior. If
1301INCLUDE_EXT is present then MakeMaker will build only with those extensions
1302which are explicitly mentioned. (e.g. [ qw( Socket POSIX ) ])
1303
1304It is not necessary to mention DynaLoader or the current extension when
1305filling in INCLUDE_EXT. If the INCLUDE_EXT is mentioned but is empty then
1306only DynaLoader and the current extension will be included in the build.
1307
1308This attribute may be most useful when specified as a string on the
1309commandline: perl Makefile.PL INCLUDE_EXT='POSIX Socket Devel::Peek'
1310
864a5fa8 1311=item INSTALLARCHLIB
1312
e05e23b1 1313Used by 'make install', which copies files from INST_ARCHLIB to this
1314directory if INSTALLDIRS is set to perl.
864a5fa8 1315
1316=item INSTALLBIN
1317
f1387719 1318Directory to install binary files (e.g. tkperl) into.
e05e23b1 1319
1320=item INSTALLDIRS
1321
1322Determines which of the two sets of installation directories to
1323choose: installprivlib and installarchlib versus installsitelib and
1324installsitearch. The first pair is chosen with INSTALLDIRS=perl, the
1325second with INSTALLDIRS=site. Default is site.
8e07c86e 1326
1327=item INSTALLMAN1DIR
1328
864a5fa8 1329This directory gets the man pages at 'make install' time. Defaults to
1330$Config{installman1dir}.
1331
8e07c86e 1332=item INSTALLMAN3DIR
1333
864a5fa8 1334This directory gets the man pages at 'make install' time. Defaults to
1335$Config{installman3dir}.
8e07c86e 1336
864a5fa8 1337=item INSTALLPRIVLIB
8e07c86e 1338
e05e23b1 1339Used by 'make install', which copies files from INST_LIB to this
1340directory if INSTALLDIRS is set to perl.

1343
1344Used by 'make install' which copies files from INST_SCRIPT to this
1345directory.
1346
e05e23b1 1347=item INSTALLSITELIB
1348
1349Used by 'make install', which copies files from INST_LIB to this
1350directory if INSTALLDIRS is set to site (default).
1351
1352=item INSTALLSITEARCH
1353
1354Used by 'make install', which copies files from INST_ARCHLIB to this
1355directory if INSTALLDIRS is set to site (default).
8e07c86e 1356
864a5fa8 1357=item INST_ARCHLIB
8e07c86e 1358
864a5fa8 1359Same as INST_LIB for architecture dependent files.
8e07c86e 1360
f1387719 1361=item INST_BIN
1362
1363Directory to put real binary files during 'make'. These will be copied
1364to INSTALLBIN during 'make install'
1365
864a5fa8 1366=item INST_EXE
8e07c86e 1367
f1387719 1368Old name for INST_SCRIPT. Deprecated. Please use INST_SCRIPT if you
1369need to use it.

8e07c86e 1372
864a5fa8 1373Directory where we put library files of this extension while building
1374it.

8e07c86e 1383
f1387719 1384=item INST_SCRIPT
1385
1386Directory, where executable files should be installed during
1387'make'. Defaults to "./blib/bin", just to have a dummy location during
1388testing. make install will copy the files in INST_SCRIPT to
1389INSTALLSCRIPT.
1390
864a5fa8 1391=item LDFROM
8e07c86e 1392
864a5fa8 1393defaults to "$(OBJECT)" and is used in the ld command to specify
1394what files to link/load from (also see dynamic_lib below for how to
1395specify ld flags)
8e07c86e 1396
864a5fa8 1397=item LIBPERL_A
8e07c86e 1398
864a5fa8 1399The filename of the perllibrary that will be used together with this
1400extension. Defaults to libperl.a.
8e07c86e 1401
bab2b58e 1402=item LIB

1408
1409An anonymous array of alternative library
1410specifications to be searched for (in order) until
864a5fa8 1411at least one library is found. E.g.
8e07c86e 1412
1413 'LIBS' => ["-lgdbm", "-ldbm -lfoo", "-L/path -ldbm.nfs"]
1414
1415Mind, that any element of the array
1416contains a complete set of arguments for the ld
1417command. So do not specify
1418
1419 'LIBS' => ["-ltcl", "-ltk", "-lX11"]
1420
1421See ODBM_File/Makefile.PL for an example, where an array is needed. If
1422you specify a scalar as in
1423
1424 'LIBS' => "-ltcl -ltk -lX11"
1425
1426MakeMaker will turn it into an array with one element.
1427
864a5fa8 1428=item LINKTYPE
8e07c86e 1429
e05e23b1 1430'static' or 'dynamic' (default unless usedl=undef in
1431config.sh). Should only be used to force static linking (also see
864a5fa8 1432linkext below).
8e07c86e 1433
864a5fa8 1434=item MAKEAPERL
8e07c86e 1435
864a5fa8 1436Boolean which tells MakeMaker, that it should include the rules to
1437make a perl. This is handled automatically as a switch by
1438MakeMaker. The user normally does not need it.
8e07c86e 1439
864a5fa8 1440=item MAKEFILE
8e07c86e 1441
864a5fa8 1442The name of the Makefile to be produced.
8e07c86e 1443
864a5fa8 1444=item MAN1PODS
8e07c86e 1445
864a5fa8 1446Hashref of pod-containing files. MakeMaker will default this to all
1447EXE_FILES files that include POD directives. The files listed
1448here will be converted to man pages and installed as was requested
1449at Configure time.
8e07c86e 1450
864a5fa8 1451=item MAN3PODS
8e07c86e 1452
864a5fa8 1453Hashref of .pm and .pod files. MakeMaker will default this to all
1454 .pod and any .pm files that include POD directives. The files listed
1455here will be converted to man pages and installed as was requested
1456at Configure time.
8e07c86e 1457
864a5fa8 1458=item MAP_TARGET
8e07c86e 1459
864a5fa8 1460If it is intended, that a new perl binary be produced, this variable
1461may hold a name for that binary. Defaults to perl
8e07c86e 1462
864a5fa8 1463=item MYEXTLIB
4633a7c4 1464
864a5fa8 1465If the extension links to a library that it builds set this to the
1466name of the library (see SDBM_File)
4633a7c4 1467
864a5fa8 1468=item NAME
8e07c86e 1469
864a5fa8 1470Perl module name for this extension (DBD::Oracle). This will default
1471to the directory name but should be explicitly defined in the
1472Makefile.PL.
8e07c86e 1473
864a5fa8 1474=item NEEDS_LINKING
8e07c86e 1475
864a5fa8 1476MakeMaker will figure out, if an extension contains linkable code
1477anywhere down the directory tree, and will set this variable
1478accordingly, but you can speed it up a very little bit, if you define
1479this boolean variable yourself.
8e07c86e 1480
e05e23b1 1481=item NOECHO
1482
f1387719 1483Defaults to C<@>. By setting it to an empty string you can generate a
e05e23b1 1484Makefile that echos all commands. Mainly used in debugging MakeMaker
1485itself.
1486
864a5fa8 1487=item NORECURS
8e07c86e 1488
e05e23b1 1489Boolean. Attribute to inhibit descending into subdirectories.
8e07c86e 1490
864a5fa8 1491=item OBJECT
8e07c86e 1492
864a5fa8 1493List of object files, defaults to '$(BASEEXT)$(OBJ_EXT)', but can be a long
1494string containing all object files, e.g. "tkpBind.o
1495tkpButton.o tkpCanvas.o"
8e07c86e 1496
3b03c0f3 1497=item OPTIMIZE
1498
1499Defaults to C<-O>. Set it to C<-g> to turn debugging on. The flag is
1500passed to subdirectory makes.
1501
864a5fa8 1502=item PERL
8e07c86e 1503
864a5fa8 1504Perl binary for tasks that can be done by miniperl
8e07c86e 1505
864a5fa8 1506=item PERLMAINCC
005c1a0e 1507
864a5fa8 1508The call to the program that is able to compile perlmain.c. Defaults
1509to $(CC).
005c1a0e 1510
864a5fa8 1511=item PERL_ARCHLIB
005c1a0e 1512
864a5fa8 1513Same as above for architecture dependent files
8e07c86e 1514
864a5fa8 1515=item PERL_LIB
8e07c86e 1516
864a5fa8 1517Directory containing the Perl library to use.
8e07c86e 1518
864a5fa8 1519=item PERL_SRC
8e07c86e 1520
864a5fa8 1521Directory containing the Perl source code (use of this should be
1522avoided, it may be undefined)
8e07c86e 1523
864a5fa8 1524=item PL_FILES
8e07c86e 1525
864a5fa8 1526Ref to hash of files to be processed as perl programs. MakeMaker
1527will default to any found *.PL file (except Makefile.PL) being keys
1528and the basename of the file being the value. E.g.
8e07c86e 1529
864a5fa8 1530 {'foobar.PL' => 'foobar'}
8e07c86e 1531
864a5fa8 1532The *.PL files are expected to produce output to the target files
1533themselves.
8e07c86e 1534
864a5fa8 1535=item PM
8e07c86e 1536
864a5fa8 1537Hashref of .pm files and *.pl files to be installed. e.g.
8e07c86e 1538
864a5fa8 1539 {'name_of_file.pm' => '$(INST_LIBDIR)/install_as.pm'}
8e07c86e 1540
864a5fa8 1541By default this will include *.pm and *.pl. If a lib directory
1542exists and is not listed in DIR (above) then any *.pm and *.pl files
1543it contains will also be included by default. Defining PM in the
1544Makefile.PL will override PMLIBDIRS.
8e07c86e 1545
864a5fa8 1546=item PMLIBDIRS
8e07c86e 1547
864a5fa8 1548Ref to array of subdirectories containing library files. Defaults to
1549[ 'lib', $(BASEEXT) ]. The directories will be scanned and any files
1550they contain will be installed in the corresponding location in the
1551library. A libscan() method can be used to alter the behaviour.
1552Defining PM in the Makefile.PL will override PMLIBDIRS.
8e07c86e 1553
864a5fa8 1554=item PREFIX
8e07c86e 1555
864a5fa8 1556Can be used to set the three INSTALL* attributes in one go (except for
e05e23b1 1557probably INSTALLMAN1DIR, if it is not below PREFIX according to
1558%Config). They will have PREFIX as a common directory node and will
1559branch from that node into lib/, lib/ARCHNAME or whatever Configure
1560decided at the build time of your perl (unless you override one of
1561them, of course).
8e07c86e 1562
f1387719 1563=item PREREQ_PM
8e07c86e 1564
f1387719 1565Hashref: Names of modules that need to be available to run this
1566extension (e.g. Fcntl for SDBM_File) are the keys of the hash and the
1567desired version is the value. If the required version number is 0, we
1568only check if any version is installed already.
8e07c86e 1569
864a5fa8 1570=item SKIP
8e07c86e 1571
864a5fa8 1572Arryref. E.g. [qw(name1 name2)] skip (do not write) sections of the
f1387719 1573Makefile. Caution! Do not use the SKIP attribute for the neglectible
1574speedup. It may seriously damage the resulting Makefile. Only use it,
1575if you really need it.
8e07c86e 1576
864a5fa8 1577=item TYPEMAPS
8e07c86e 1578
864a5fa8 1579Ref to array of typemap file names. Use this when the typemaps are
1580in some directory other than the current directory or when they are
1581not named B<typemap>. The last typemap in the list takes
1582precedence. A typemap in the current directory has highest
1583precedence, even if it isn't listed in TYPEMAPS. The default system
1584typemap has lowest precedence.
8e07c86e 1585
864a5fa8 1586=item VERSION
8e07c86e 1587
864a5fa8 1588Your version number for distributing the package. This defaults to
15890.1.
8e07c86e 1590
0d8023a2 1591=item VERSION_FROM
1592
1593Instead of specifying the VERSION in the Makefile.PL you can let
1594MakeMaker parse a file to determine the version number. The parsing
1595routine requires that the file named by VERSION_FROM contains one
1596single line to compute the version number. The first line in the file
1597that contains the regular expression
1598
84902520 1599 /([\$*])(([\w\:\']*)\bVERSION)\b.*\=/
0d8023a2 1600
1601will be evaluated with eval() and the value of the named variable
1602B<after> the eval() will be assigned to the VERSION attribute of the
1603MakeMaker object. The following lines will be parsed o.k.:
1604
1605 $VERSION = '1.00';
84902520 1606 *VERSION = \'1.01';
1607 ( $VERSION ) = '$Revision: 1.216 $ ' =~ /\$Revision:\s+([^\s]+)/;
0d8023a2 1608 $FOO::VERSION = '1.10';
84902520 1609 *FOO::VERSION = \'1.11';
0d8023a2 1610
1611but these will fail:
1612
1613 my $VERSION = '1.01';
1614 local $VERSION = '1.02';
1615 local $FOO::VERSION = '1.30';
1616
84902520 1617The file named in VERSION_FROM is not added as a dependency to
1618Makefile. This is not really correct, but it would be a major pain
1619during development to have to rewrite the Makefile for any smallish
1620change in that file. If you want to make sure that the Makefile
1621contains the correct VERSION macro after any change of the file, you
1622would have to do something like
1623
1624 depend => { Makefile => '$(VERSION_FROM)' }
1625
1626See attribute C<depend> below.
0d8023a2 1627
864a5fa8 1628=item XS
8e07c86e 1629
864a5fa8 1630Hashref of .xs files. MakeMaker will default this. e.g.
8e07c86e 1631
864a5fa8 1632 {'name_of_file.xs' => 'name_of_file.c'}
8e07c86e 1633
864a5fa8 1634The .c files will automatically be included in the list of files
1635deleted by a make clean.
4633a7c4 1636
864a5fa8 1637=item XSOPT
8e07c86e 1638
864a5fa8 1639String of options to pass to xsubpp. This might include C<-C++> or
1640C<-extern>. Do not include typemaps here; the TYPEMAP parameter exists for
1641that purpose.
8e07c86e 1642
864a5fa8 1643=item XSPROTOARG
4633a7c4 1644
4e68a208 1645May be set to an empty string, which is identical to C<-prototypes>, or
864a5fa8 1646C<-noprototypes>. See the xsubpp documentation for details. MakeMaker
4e68a208 1647defaults to the empty string.
1648
0d8023a2 1649=item XS_VERSION
1650
1651Your version number for the .xs file of this package. This defaults
1652to the value of the VERSION attribute.
1653
8e07c86e 1654=back
1655

f1387719 1675 ZIPFLAGS => '-rl', DIST_DEFAULT => 'private tardist' }
864a5fa8 1676
1677If you specify COMPRESS, then SUFFIX should also be altered, as it is
1678needed to tell make the target file of the compression. Setting
1679DIST_CP to ln can be useful, if you need to preserve the timestamps on
1680your files. DIST_CP can take the values 'cp', which copies the file,
1681'ln', which links the file, and 'best' which copies symbolic links and
1682links the rest. Default is 'best'.

005c1a0e 1724=head2 Overriding MakeMaker Methods
1725
1726If you cannot achieve the desired Makefile behaviour by specifying
1727attributes you may define private subroutines in the Makefile.PL.
1728Each subroutines returns the text it wishes to have written to
1729the Makefile. To override a section of the Makefile you can
1730either say:
1731
1732 sub MY::c_o { "new literal text" }
1733
1734or you can edit the default by saying something like:
1735
8e07c86e 1736 sub MY::c_o {
14870ecd 1737 package MY; # so that "SUPER" works right
1738 my $inherited = shift->SUPER::c_o(@_);
f1387719 1739 $inherited =~ s/old text/new text/;
1740 $inherited;
8e07c86e 1741 }
1742
f1387719 1743If you running experiments with embedding perl as a library into other
1744applications, you might find MakeMaker not sufficient. You'd better
1745have a look at ExtUtils::embed which is a collection of utilities for
1746embedding.
005c1a0e 1747
1748If you still need a different solution, try to develop another
1749subroutine, that fits your needs and submit the diffs to
8e07c86e 1750F<perl5-porters@nicoh.com> or F<comp.lang.perl.misc> as appropriate.
005c1a0e 1751
3b03c0f3 1752For a complete description of all MakeMaker methods see L<ExtUtils::MM_Unix>.
1753
1754Here is a simple example of how to add a new target to the generated
1755Makefile:
1756
1757 sub MY::postamble {
1758 '
1759 $(MYEXTLIB): sdbm/Makefile
1760 cd sdbm && $(MAKE) all
1761 ';
1762 }
1763
1764
f1387719 1765=head2 Hintsfile support
1766
1767MakeMaker.pm uses the architecture specific information from
1768Config.pm. In addition it evaluates architecture specific hints files
1769in a C<hints/> directory. The hints files are expected to be named
1770like their counterparts in C<PERL_SRC/hints>, but with an C<.pl> file
1771name extension (eg. C<next_3_2.pl>). They are simply C<eval>ed by
1772MakeMaker within the WriteMakefile() subroutine, and can be used to
1773execute commands as well as to include special variables. The rules
1774which hintsfile is chosen are the same as in Configure.
1775
1776The hintsfile is eval()ed immediately after the arguments given to
1777WriteMakefile are stuffed into a hash reference $self but before this
1778reference becomes blessed. So if you want to do the equivalent to
1779override or create an attribute you would say something like
1780
1781 $self->{LIBS} = ['-ldbm -lucb -lc'];
1782
005c1a0e 1783=head2 Distribution Support
1784
1785For authors of extensions MakeMaker provides several Makefile
1786targets. Most of the support comes from the ExtUtils::Manifest module,
1787where additional documentation can be found.
1788
1789=over 4
1790
1791=item make distcheck
8e07c86e 1792
005c1a0e 1793reports which files are below the build directory but not in the
1794MANIFEST file and vice versa. (See ExtUtils::Manifest::fullcheck() for
1795details)
1796
4633a7c4 1797=item make skipcheck
1798
1799reports which files are skipped due to the entries in the
1800C<MANIFEST.SKIP> file (See ExtUtils::Manifest::skipcheck() for
1801details)
1802
005c1a0e 1803=item make distclean
8e07c86e 1804
005c1a0e 1805does a realclean first and then the distcheck. Note that this is not
1806needed to build a new distribution as long as you are sure, that the
1807MANIFEST file is ok.
1808
1809=item make manifest
8e07c86e 1810
005c1a0e 1811rewrites the MANIFEST file, adding all remaining files found (See
1812ExtUtils::Manifest::mkmanifest() for details)
1813
1814=item make distdir
8e07c86e 1815
005c1a0e 1816Copies all the files that are in the MANIFEST file to a newly created
1817directory with the name C<$(DISTNAME)-$(VERSION)>. If that directory
1818exists, it will be removed first.
1819
8e07c86e 1820=item make disttest
1821
1822Makes a distdir first, and runs a C<perl Makefile.PL>, a make, and
4633a7c4 1823a make test in that directory.
8e07c86e 1824
005c1a0e 1825=item make tardist
8e07c86e 1826
3b03c0f3 1827First does a distdir. Then a command $(PREOP) which defaults to a null
f1387719 1828command, followed by $(TOUNIX), which defaults to a null command under
1829UNIX, and will convert files in distribution directory to UNIX format
1830otherwise. Next it runs C<tar> on that directory into a tarfile and
3b03c0f3 1831deletes the directory. Finishes with a command $(POSTOP) which
1832defaults to a null command.
005c1a0e 1833
1834=item make dist
8e07c86e 1835
005c1a0e 1836Defaults to $(DIST_DEFAULT) which in turn defaults to tardist.
1837
1838=item make uutardist
8e07c86e 1839
005c1a0e 1840Runs a tardist first and uuencodes the tarfile.
1841
1842=item make shdist
8e07c86e 1843
3b03c0f3 1844First does a distdir. Then a command $(PREOP) which defaults to a null
1845command. Next it runs C<shar> on that directory into a sharfile and
1846deletes the intermediate directory again. Finishes with a command
1847$(POSTOP) which defaults to a null command. Note: For shdist to work
1848properly a C<shar> program that can handle directories is mandatory.
1849
1850=item make zipdist
1851
1852First does a distdir. Then a command $(PREOP) which defaults to a null
1853command. Runs C<$(ZIP) $(ZIPFLAGS)> on that directory into a
1854zipfile. Then deletes that directory. Finishes with a command
1855$(POSTOP) which defaults to a null command.
005c1a0e 1856
1857=item make ci
8e07c86e 1858
1859Does a $(CI) and a $(RCS_LABEL) on all files in the MANIFEST file.
1860
1861=back

1863Customization of the dist targets can be done by specifying a hash
1864reference to the dist attribute of the WriteMakefile call. The
1865following parameters are recognized:
1866
8e07c86e 1867 CI ('ci -u')
005c1a0e 1868 COMPRESS ('compress')
005c1a0e 1869 POSTOP ('@ :')
8e07c86e 1870 PREOP ('@ :')
f1387719 1871 TO_UNIX (depends on the system)
8e07c86e 1872 RCS_LABEL ('rcs -q -Nv$(VERSION_SYM):')
1873 SHAR ('shar')
1874 SUFFIX ('Z')
1875 TAR ('tar')
1876 TARFLAGS ('cvf')
3b03c0f3 1877 ZIP ('zip')
1878 ZIPFLAGS ('-r')

1880An example:
1881
1882 WriteMakefile( 'dist' => { COMPRESS=>"gzip", SUFFIX=>"gz" })

1886If some events detected in F<Makefile.PL> imply that there is no way
1887to create the Module, but this is a normal state of things, then you
1888can create a F<Makefile> which does nothing, but succeeds on all the
1889"usual" build targets. To do so, use
1890
1891 ExtUtils::MakeMaker::WriteEmptyMakefile();
1892
1893instead of WriteMakefile().
1894
1895This may be useful if other modules expect this module to be I<built>
1896OK, as opposed to I<work> OK (say, this system-dependent module builds
1897in a subdirectory of some other distribution, or is listed as a
1898dependency in a CPAN::Bundle, but the functionality is supported by
1899different means on the current architecture).
