8e07c86e 302The extension you are trying to build apparently is rather old and
303most probably outdated. We detect that from the fact, that a
304subroutine "writeMakefile" is called, and this subroutine is not
305supported anymore since about October 1994.
40000a8c 306
4633a7c4 307Please contact the author or look into CPAN (details about CPAN can be
308found in the FAQ and at http:/www.perl.com) for a more recent version
309of the extension. If you're really desperate, you can try to change
310the subroutine name from writeMakefile to WriteMakefile and rerun
311'perl Makefile.PL', but you're most probably left alone, when you do
312so.

843C<use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;>
844
845C<WriteMakefile( ATTRIBUTE =E<gt> VALUE [, ...] );>
846

850
005c1a0e 851=head1 DESCRIPTION
852
853This utility is designed to write a Makefile for an extension module
854from a Makefile.PL. It is based on the Makefile.SH model provided by
855Andy Dougherty and the perl5-porters.
856
857It splits the task of generating the Makefile into several subroutines
858that can be individually overridden. Each subroutine returns the text
859it wishes to have written to the Makefile.
860
f1387719 861MakeMaker is object oriented. Each directory below the current
862directory that contains a Makefile.PL. Is treated as a separate
863object. This makes it possible to write an unlimited number of
864Makefiles with a single invocation of WriteMakefile().
8e07c86e 865
f1387719 866=head2 How To Write A Makefile.PL
8e07c86e 867
bab2b58e 868The short answer is: Don't.
869
870 Always begin with h2xs.
871 Always begin with h2xs!
872 ALWAYS BEGIN WITH H2XS!
873
874even if you're not building around a header file, and even if you
875don't have an XS component.
876
877Run h2xs(1) before you start thinking about writing a module. For so
878called pm-only modules that consist of C<*.pm> files only, h2xs has
879the C<-X> switch. This will generate dummy files of all kinds that are
880useful for the module developer.
8e07c86e 881
f1387719 882The medium answer is:
8e07c86e 883
f1387719 884 use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
885 WriteMakefile( NAME => "Foo::Bar" );
8e07c86e 886
bab2b58e 887The long answer is the rest of the manpage :-)
005c1a0e 888
889=head2 Default Makefile Behaviour
890
f1387719 891The generated Makefile enables the user of the extension to invoke
005c1a0e 892
893 perl Makefile.PL # optionally "perl Makefile.PL verbose"
894 make
8e07c86e 895 make test # optionally set TEST_VERBOSE=1
896 make install # See below
005c1a0e 897
898The Makefile to be produced may be altered by adding arguments of the
e05e23b1 899form C<KEY=VALUE>. E.g.
005c1a0e 900
e05e23b1 901 perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/tmp/myperl5
005c1a0e 902
903Other interesting targets in the generated Makefile are
904
905 make config # to check if the Makefile is up-to-date
8e07c86e 906 make clean # delete local temp files (Makefile gets renamed)
907 make realclean # delete derived files (including ./blib)
e05e23b1 908 make ci # check in all the files in the MANIFEST file
005c1a0e 909 make dist # see below the Distribution Support section
910
e05e23b1 911=head2 make test
912
bab2b58e 913MakeMaker checks for the existence of a file named F<test.pl> in the
e05e23b1 914current directory and if it exists it adds commands to the test target
915of the generated Makefile that will execute the script with the proper
916set of perl C<-I> options.
917
918MakeMaker also checks for any files matching glob("t/*.t"). It will
919add commands to the test target of the generated Makefile that execute
920all matching files via the L<Test::Harness> module with the C<-I>
921switches set correctly.
922
bab2b58e 923=head2 make testdb
924
925A useful variation of the above is the target C<testdb>. It runs the
926test under the Perl debugger (see L<perldebug>). If the file
927F<test.pl> exists in the current directory, it is used for the test.
928
929If you want to debug some other testfile, set C<TEST_FILE> variable
930thusly:
931
932 make testdb TEST_FILE=t/mytest.t
933
934By default the debugger is called using C<-d> option to perl. If you
935want to specify some other option, set C<TESTDB_SW> variable:
936
937 make testdb TESTDB_SW=-Dx
938
e05e23b1 939=head2 make install
005c1a0e 940
8e07c86e 941make alone puts all relevant files into directories that are named by
cae6c631 942the macros INST_LIB, INST_ARCHLIB, INST_SCRIPT, INST_HTMLLIBDIR,
943INST_HTMLSCRIPTDIR, INST_MAN1DIR, and INST_MAN3DIR. All these default
944to something below ./blib if you are I<not> building below the perl
945source directory. If you I<are> building below the perl source,
946INST_LIB and INST_ARCHLIB default to ../../lib, and INST_SCRIPT is not
947defined.
005c1a0e 948
e05e23b1 949The I<install> target of the generated Makefile copies the files found
950below each of the INST_* directories to their INSTALL*
951counterparts. Which counterparts are chosen depends on the setting of
952INSTALLDIRS according to the following table:
005c1a0e 953
cae6c631 954 INSTALLDIRS set to
955 perl site
e05e23b1 956
cae6c631 957 INST_ARCHLIB INSTALLARCHLIB INSTALLSITEARCH
958 INST_LIB INSTALLPRIVLIB INSTALLSITELIB
959 INST_HTMLLIBDIR INSTALLHTMLPRIVLIBDIR INSTALLHTMLSITELIBDIR
960 INST_HTMLSCRIPTDIR INSTALLHTMLSCRIPTDIR
961 INST_BIN INSTALLBIN
962 INST_SCRIPT INSTALLSCRIPT
963 INST_MAN1DIR INSTALLMAN1DIR
964 INST_MAN3DIR INSTALLMAN3DIR
005c1a0e 965
8e07c86e 966The INSTALL... macros in turn default to their %Config
967($Config{installprivlib}, $Config{installarchlib}, etc.) counterparts.
005c1a0e 968
3b03c0f3 969You can check the values of these variables on your system with
970
bab2b58e 971 perl '-V:install.*'
3b03c0f3 972
f1387719 973And to check the sequence in which the library directories are
974searched by perl, run
005c1a0e 975
f1387719 976 perl -le 'print join $/, @INC'
005c1a0e 977
005c1a0e 978
bab2b58e 979=head2 PREFIX and LIB attribute
980
981PREFIX and LIB can be used to set several INSTALL* attributes in one
982go. The quickest way to install a module in a non-standard place might
983be
984
985 perl Makefile.PL LIB=~/lib
005c1a0e 986
bab2b58e 987This will install the module's architecture-independent files into
e35b8f9e 988~/lib, the architecture-dependent files into ~/lib/$archname.
bab2b58e 989
990Another way to specify many INSTALL directories with a single
991parameter is PREFIX.
005c1a0e 992
8e07c86e 993 perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~
005c1a0e 994
e35b8f9e 995This will replace the string specified by C<$Config{prefix}> in all
996C<$Config{install*}> values.
005c1a0e 997
bab2b58e 998Note, that in both cases the tilde expansion is done by MakeMaker, not
e35b8f9e 999by perl by default, nor by make.
1000
1001Conflicts between parameters LIB,
1002PREFIX and the various INSTALL* arguments are resolved so that:
1003
1004=over 4
1005
1006=item *
1007
1008setting LIB overrides any setting of INSTALLPRIVLIB, INSTALLARCHLIB,
1009INSTALLSITELIB, INSTALLSITEARCH (and they are not affected by PREFIX);
1010
1011=item *
1012
1013without LIB, setting PREFIX replaces the initial C<$Config{prefix}>
1014part of those INSTALL* arguments, even if the latter are explicitly
1015set (but are set to still start with C<$Config{prefix}>).
1016
1017=back
005c1a0e 1018
005c1a0e 1019If the user has superuser privileges, and is not working on AFS
e35b8f9e 1020or relatives, then the defaults for
f1387719 1021INSTALLPRIVLIB, INSTALLARCHLIB, INSTALLSCRIPT, etc. will be appropriate,
005c1a0e 1022and this incantation will be the best:
1023
1024 perl Makefile.PL; make; make test
1025 make install
1026
8e07c86e 1027make install per default writes some documentation of what has been
e05e23b1 1028done into the file C<$(INSTALLARCHLIB)/perllocal.pod>. This feature
1029can be bypassed by calling make pure_install.
8e07c86e 1030
1031=head2 AFS users
1032
1033will have to specify the installation directories as these most
1034probably have changed since perl itself has been installed. They will
1035have to do this by calling
1036
e05e23b1 1037 perl Makefile.PL INSTALLSITELIB=/afs/here/today \
f1387719 1038 INSTALLSCRIPT=/afs/there/now INSTALLMAN3DIR=/afs/for/manpages
8e07c86e 1039 make
1040
e05e23b1 1041Be careful to repeat this procedure every time you recompile an
1042extension, unless you are sure the AFS installation directories are
1043still valid.
005c1a0e 1044
8e07c86e 1045=head2 Static Linking of a new Perl Binary
005c1a0e 1046
1047An extension that is built with the above steps is ready to use on
1048systems supporting dynamic loading. On systems that do not support
1049dynamic loading, any newly created extension has to be linked together
1050with the available resources. MakeMaker supports the linking process
1051by creating appropriate targets in the Makefile whenever an extension
1052is built. You can invoke the corresponding section of the makefile with
1053
1054 make perl
1055
1056That produces a new perl binary in the current directory with all
e05e23b1 1057extensions linked in that can be found in INST_ARCHLIB , SITELIBEXP,
1058and PERL_ARCHLIB. To do that, MakeMaker writes a new Makefile, on
1059UNIX, this is called Makefile.aperl (may be system dependent). If you
1060want to force the creation of a new perl, it is recommended, that you
1061delete this Makefile.aperl, so the directories are searched-through
1062for linkable libraries again.
005c1a0e 1063
1064The binary can be installed into the directory where perl normally
1065resides on your machine with
1066
1067 make inst_perl
1068
1069To produce a perl binary with a different name than C<perl>, either say
1070
1071 perl Makefile.PL MAP_TARGET=myperl
1072 make myperl
1073 make inst_perl
1074
1075or say
1076
1077 perl Makefile.PL
1078 make myperl MAP_TARGET=myperl
1079 make inst_perl MAP_TARGET=myperl
1080
1081In any case you will be prompted with the correct invocation of the
1082C<inst_perl> target that installs the new binary into INSTALLBIN.
1083
8e07c86e 1084make inst_perl per default writes some documentation of what has been
1085done into the file C<$(INSTALLARCHLIB)/perllocal.pod>. This
1086can be bypassed by calling make pure_inst_perl.
005c1a0e 1087
e05e23b1 1088Warning: the inst_perl: target will most probably overwrite your
1089existing perl binary. Use with care!
005c1a0e 1090
8e07c86e 1091Sometimes you might want to build a statically linked perl although
1092your system supports dynamic loading. In this case you may explicitly
1093set the linktype with the invocation of the Makefile.PL or make:
1094
1095 perl Makefile.PL LINKTYPE=static # recommended
1096
1097or
1098
1099 make LINKTYPE=static # works on most systems
1100
005c1a0e 1101=head2 Determination of Perl Library and Installation Locations
1102
1103MakeMaker needs to know, or to guess, where certain things are
e05e23b1 1104located. Especially INST_LIB and INST_ARCHLIB (where to put the files
1105during the make(1) run), PERL_LIB and PERL_ARCHLIB (where to read
1106existing modules from), and PERL_INC (header files and C<libperl*.*>).
005c1a0e 1107
1108Extensions may be built either using the contents of the perl source
e05e23b1 1109directory tree or from the installed perl library. The recommended way
1110is to build extensions after you have run 'make install' on perl
1111itself. You can do that in any directory on your hard disk that is not
1112below the perl source tree. The support for extensions below the ext
1113directory of the perl distribution is only good for the standard
1114extensions that come with perl.
005c1a0e 1115
1116If an extension is being built below the C<ext/> directory of the perl
e05e23b1 1117source then MakeMaker will set PERL_SRC automatically (e.g.,
1118C<../..>). If PERL_SRC is defined and the extension is recognized as
1119a standard extension, then other variables default to the following:
005c1a0e 1120
1121 PERL_INC = PERL_SRC
1122 PERL_LIB = PERL_SRC/lib
1123 PERL_ARCHLIB = PERL_SRC/lib
1124 INST_LIB = PERL_LIB
1125 INST_ARCHLIB = PERL_ARCHLIB
1126
1127If an extension is being built away from the perl source then MakeMaker
1128will leave PERL_SRC undefined and default to using the installed copy
1129of the perl library. The other variables default to the following:
1130
e05e23b1 1131 PERL_INC = $archlibexp/CORE
1132 PERL_LIB = $privlibexp
1133 PERL_ARCHLIB = $archlibexp
1134 INST_LIB = ./blib/lib
1135 INST_ARCHLIB = ./blib/arch
005c1a0e 1136
1137If perl has not yet been installed then PERL_SRC can be defined on the
1138command line as shown in the previous section.
1139
005c1a0e 1140
f1387719 1141=head2 Which architecture dependent directory?
005c1a0e 1142
f1387719 1143If you don't want to keep the defaults for the INSTALL* macros,
1144MakeMaker helps you to minimize the typing needed: the usual
1145relationship between INSTALLPRIVLIB and INSTALLARCHLIB is determined
1146by Configure at perl compilation time. MakeMaker supports the user who
1147sets INSTALLPRIVLIB. If INSTALLPRIVLIB is set, but INSTALLARCHLIB not,
1148then MakeMaker defaults the latter to be the same subdirectory of
1149INSTALLPRIVLIB as Configure decided for the counterparts in %Config ,
1150otherwise it defaults to INSTALLPRIVLIB. The same relationship holds
1151for INSTALLSITELIB and INSTALLSITEARCH.
005c1a0e 1152
f1387719 1153MakeMaker gives you much more freedom than needed to configure
1154internal variables and get different results. It is worth to mention,
1155that make(1) also lets you configure most of the variables that are
1156used in the Makefile. But in the majority of situations this will not
a7665c5e 1157be necessary, and should only be done if the author of a package
f1387719 1158recommends it (or you know what you're doing).
005c1a0e 1159
e05e23b1 1160=head2 Using Attributes and Parameters
005c1a0e 1161
1162The following attributes can be specified as arguments to WriteMakefile()
1163or as NAME=VALUE pairs on the command line:
1164
875fa795 1165=over 2
005c1a0e 1166
875fa795 1167=item ABSTRACT
1168
1169One line description of the module. Will be included in PPD file.
1170
1171=item ABSTRACT_FROM
1172
1173Name of the file that contains the package description. MakeMaker looks
1174for a line in the POD matching /^($package\s-\s)(.*)/. This is typically
1175the first line in the "=head1 NAME" section. $2 becomes the abstract.
1176
e35b8f9e 1177=item AUTHOR
1178
1179String containing name (and email address) of package author(s). Is used
1180in PPD (Perl Package Description) files for PPM (Perl Package Manager).
1181
875fa795 1182=item BINARY_LOCATION
1183
1184Used when creating PPD files for binary packages. It can be set to a
1185full or relative path or URL to the binary archive for a particular
1186architecture. For example:
1187
1188 perl Makefile.PL BINARY_LOCATION=x86/Agent.tar.gz
1189
1190builds a PPD package that references a binary of the C<Agent> package,
20e08411 1191located in the C<x86> directory relative to the PPD itself.
8e07c86e 1192
864a5fa8 1193=item C
8e07c86e 1194
864a5fa8 1195Ref to array of *.c file names. Initialised from a directory scan
1196and the values portion of the XS attribute hash. This is not
1197currently used by MakeMaker but may be handy in Makefile.PLs.
8e07c86e 1198
875fa795 1199=item CAPI
1200
c5be433b 1201[This attribute is obsolete in Perl 5.6. PERL_OBJECT builds are C-compatible
1202by default.]
1203
875fa795 1204Switch to force usage of the Perl C API even when compiling for PERL_OBJECT.
1205
65d36135 1206Note that this attribute is passed through to any recursive build,
1207but if and only if the submodule's Makefile.PL itself makes no mention
1208of the 'CAPI' attribute.
1209
84902520 1210=item CCFLAGS
1211
1212String that will be included in the compiler call command line between
1213the arguments INC and OPTIMIZE.
1214
864a5fa8 1215=item CONFIG
8e07c86e 1216
864a5fa8 1217Arrayref. E.g. [qw(archname manext)] defines ARCHNAME & MANEXT from
1218config.sh. MakeMaker will add to CONFIG the following values anyway:
1219ar
1220cc
1221cccdlflags
1222ccdlflags
1223dlext
1224dlsrc
1225ld
1226lddlflags
1227ldflags
1228libc
1229lib_ext
1230obj_ext
1231ranlib
e05e23b1 1232sitelibexp
1233sitearchexp
864a5fa8 1234so
8e07c86e 1235
1236=item CONFIGURE
1237
e05e23b1 1238CODE reference. The subroutine should return a hash reference. The
1fef88e7 1239hash may contain further attributes, e.g. {LIBS =E<gt> ...}, that have to
8e07c86e 1240be determined by some evaluation method.
1241
864a5fa8 1242=item DEFINE
8e07c86e 1243
864a5fa8 1244Something like C<"-DHAVE_UNISTD_H">
8e07c86e 1245
864a5fa8 1246=item DIR
8e07c86e 1247
864a5fa8 1248Ref to array of subdirectories containing Makefile.PLs e.g. [ 'sdbm'
1249] in ext/SDBM_File
8e07c86e 1250
864a5fa8 1251=item DISTNAME
8e07c86e 1252
e05e23b1 1253Your name for distributing the package (by tar file). This defaults to
864a5fa8 1254NAME above.
8e07c86e 1255
864a5fa8 1256=item DL_FUNCS
8e07c86e 1257
875fa795 1258Hashref of symbol names for routines to be made available as universal
1259symbols. Each key/value pair consists of the package name and an
1260array of routine names in that package. Used only under AIX, OS/2,
1261VMS and Win32 at present. The routine names supplied will be expanded
1262in the same way as XSUB names are expanded by the XS() macro.
1263Defaults to
8e07c86e 1264
864a5fa8 1265 {"$(NAME)" => ["boot_$(NAME)" ] }
8e07c86e 1266
864a5fa8 1267e.g.
8e07c86e 1268
864a5fa8 1269 {"RPC" => [qw( boot_rpcb rpcb_gettime getnetconfigent )],
1270 "NetconfigPtr" => [ 'DESTROY'] }
8e07c86e 1271
875fa795 1272Please see the L<ExtUtils::Mksymlists> documentation for more information
1273about the DL_FUNCS, DL_VARS and FUNCLIST attributes.
1274
864a5fa8 1275=item DL_VARS
8e07c86e 1276
875fa795 1277Array of symbol names for variables to be made available as universal symbols.
1278Used only under AIX, OS/2, VMS and Win32 at present. Defaults to [].
1279(e.g. [ qw(Foo_version Foo_numstreams Foo_tree ) ])
8e07c86e 1280
f1387719 1281=item EXCLUDE_EXT
1282
1283Array of extension names to exclude when doing a static build. This
1284is ignored if INCLUDE_EXT is present. Consult INCLUDE_EXT for more
1285details. (e.g. [ qw( Socket POSIX ) ] )
1286
1287This attribute may be most useful when specified as a string on the
de592821 1288command line: perl Makefile.PL EXCLUDE_EXT='Socket Safe'
f1387719 1289
864a5fa8 1290=item EXE_FILES
8e07c86e 1291
864a5fa8 1292Ref to array of executable files. The files will be copied to the
f1387719 1293INST_SCRIPT directory. Make realclean will delete them from there
864a5fa8 1294again.
8e07c86e 1295
864a5fa8 1296=item FIRST_MAKEFILE
1297
1298The name of the Makefile to be produced. Defaults to the contents of
1299MAKEFILE, but can be overridden. This is used for the second Makefile
1300that will be produced for the MAP_TARGET.
1301
1302=item FULLPERL
8e07c86e 1303
864a5fa8 1304Perl binary able to run this extension.
1305
762efda7 1306=item FUNCLIST
1307
1308This provides an alternate means to specify function names to be
1309exported from the extension. Its value is a reference to an
1310array of function names to be exported by the extension. These
1311names are passed through unaltered to the linker options file.
1312
864a5fa8 1313=item H
1314
1315Ref to array of *.h file names. Similar to C.
1316
cae6c631 1317=item HTMLLIBPODS
1318
1319Hashref of .pm and .pod files. MakeMaker will default this to all
1320 .pod and any .pm files that include POD directives. The files listed
1321here will be converted to HTML format and installed as was requested
1322at Configure time.
1323
1324=item HTMLSCRIPTPODS
1325
1326Hashref of pod-containing files. MakeMaker will default this to all
1327EXE_FILES files that include POD directives. The files listed
1328here will be converted to HTML format and installed as was requested
1329at Configure time.
1330
84902520 1331=item IMPORTS
1332
875fa795 1333This attribute is used to specify names to be imported into the
1334extension. It is only used on OS/2 and Win32.
84902520 1335
864a5fa8 1336=item INC
1337
1338Include file dirs eg: C<"-I/usr/5include -I/path/to/inc">
1339
f1387719 1340=item INCLUDE_EXT
1341
1342Array of extension names to be included when doing a static build.
1343MakeMaker will normally build with all of the installed extensions when
1344doing a static build, and that is usually the desired behavior. If
1345INCLUDE_EXT is present then MakeMaker will build only with those extensions
1346which are explicitly mentioned. (e.g. [ qw( Socket POSIX ) ])
1347
1348It is not necessary to mention DynaLoader or the current extension when
1349filling in INCLUDE_EXT. If the INCLUDE_EXT is mentioned but is empty then
1350only DynaLoader and the current extension will be included in the build.
1351
1352This attribute may be most useful when specified as a string on the
de592821 1353command line: perl Makefile.PL INCLUDE_EXT='POSIX Socket Devel::Peek'
f1387719 1354
864a5fa8 1355=item INSTALLARCHLIB
1356
e05e23b1 1357Used by 'make install', which copies files from INST_ARCHLIB to this
1358directory if INSTALLDIRS is set to perl.
864a5fa8 1359
1360=item INSTALLBIN
1361
f1387719 1362Directory to install binary files (e.g. tkperl) into.
e05e23b1 1363
1364=item INSTALLDIRS
1365
1366Determines which of the two sets of installation directories to
1367choose: installprivlib and installarchlib versus installsitelib and
1368installsitearch. The first pair is chosen with INSTALLDIRS=perl, the
1369second with INSTALLDIRS=site. Default is site.
8e07c86e 1370
cae6c631 1371=item INSTALLHTMLPRIVLIBDIR
1372
1373This directory gets the HTML pages at 'make install' time. Defaults to
1374$Config{installhtmlprivlibdir}.
1375
1376=item INSTALLHTMLSCRIPTDIR
1377
1378This directory gets the HTML pages at 'make install' time. Defaults to
1379$Config{installhtmlscriptdir}.
1380
1381=item INSTALLHTMLSITELIBDIR
1382
1383This directory gets the HTML pages at 'make install' time. Defaults to
1384$Config{installhtmlsitelibdir}.
1385
1386
8e07c86e 1387=item INSTALLMAN1DIR
1388
864a5fa8 1389This directory gets the man pages at 'make install' time. Defaults to
1390$Config{installman1dir}.
1391
8e07c86e 1392=item INSTALLMAN3DIR
1393
864a5fa8 1394This directory gets the man pages at 'make install' time. Defaults to
1395$Config{installman3dir}.
8e07c86e 1396
864a5fa8 1397=item INSTALLPRIVLIB
8e07c86e 1398
e05e23b1 1399Used by 'make install', which copies files from INST_LIB to this
1400directory if INSTALLDIRS is set to perl.
1401
f1387719 1402=item INSTALLSCRIPT
1403
1404Used by 'make install' which copies files from INST_SCRIPT to this
1405directory.
1406
875fa795 1407=item INSTALLSITEARCH
e05e23b1 1408
875fa795 1409Used by 'make install', which copies files from INST_ARCHLIB to this
e05e23b1 1410directory if INSTALLDIRS is set to site (default).
1411
875fa795 1412=item INSTALLSITELIB
e05e23b1 1413
875fa795 1414Used by 'make install', which copies files from INST_LIB to this
e05e23b1 1415directory if INSTALLDIRS is set to site (default).
8e07c86e 1416
864a5fa8 1417=item INST_ARCHLIB
8e07c86e 1418
864a5fa8 1419Same as INST_LIB for architecture dependent files.
8e07c86e 1420
f1387719 1421=item INST_BIN
1422
1423Directory to put real binary files during 'make'. These will be copied
1424to INSTALLBIN during 'make install'
1425
864a5fa8 1426=item INST_EXE
8e07c86e 1427
f1387719 1428Old name for INST_SCRIPT. Deprecated. Please use INST_SCRIPT if you
1429need to use it.
8e07c86e 1430
cae6c631 1431=item INST_HTMLLIBDIR
1432
1433Directory to hold the man pages in HTML format at 'make' time
1434
1435=item INST_HTMLSCRIPTDIR
1436
1437Directory to hold the man pages in HTML format at 'make' time
1438
e35b8f9e 1439=item INST_LIB
1440
1441Directory where we put library files of this extension while building
1442it.
1443
864a5fa8 1444=item INST_MAN1DIR
8e07c86e 1445
864a5fa8 1446Directory to hold the man pages at 'make' time
8e07c86e 1447
864a5fa8 1448=item INST_MAN3DIR
8e07c86e 1449
864a5fa8 1450Directory to hold the man pages at 'make' time
8e07c86e 1451
f1387719 1452=item INST_SCRIPT
1453
1454Directory, where executable files should be installed during
c3fed81c 1455'make'. Defaults to "./blib/script", just to have a dummy location during
f1387719 1456testing. make install will copy the files in INST_SCRIPT to
1457INSTALLSCRIPT.
1458
864a5fa8 1459=item LDFROM
8e07c86e 1460
864a5fa8 1461defaults to "$(OBJECT)" and is used in the ld command to specify
1462what files to link/load from (also see dynamic_lib below for how to
1463specify ld flags)
8e07c86e 1464
bab2b58e 1465=item LIB
1466
e35b8f9e 1467LIB should only be set at C<perl Makefile.PL> time but is allowed as a
1468MakeMaker argument. It has the effect of
bab2b58e 1469setting both INSTALLPRIVLIB and INSTALLSITELIB to that value regardless any
e35b8f9e 1470explicit setting of those arguments (or of PREFIX).
1471INSTALLARCHLIB and INSTALLSITEARCH are set to the corresponding
1472architecture subdirectory.
bab2b58e 1473
762efda7 1474=item LIBPERL_A
1475
1476The filename of the perllibrary that will be used together with this
1477extension. Defaults to libperl.a.
1478
8e07c86e 1479=item LIBS
1480
1481An anonymous array of alternative library
1482specifications to be searched for (in order) until
864a5fa8 1483at least one library is found. E.g.
8e07c86e 1484
1485 'LIBS' => ["-lgdbm", "-ldbm -lfoo", "-L/path -ldbm.nfs"]
1486
1487Mind, that any element of the array
1488contains a complete set of arguments for the ld
1489command. So do not specify
1490
1491 'LIBS' => ["-ltcl", "-ltk", "-lX11"]
1492
1493See ODBM_File/Makefile.PL for an example, where an array is needed. If
1494you specify a scalar as in
1495
1496 'LIBS' => "-ltcl -ltk -lX11"
1497
1498MakeMaker will turn it into an array with one element.
1499
864a5fa8 1500=item LINKTYPE
8e07c86e 1501
e05e23b1 1502'static' or 'dynamic' (default unless usedl=undef in
1503config.sh). Should only be used to force static linking (also see
864a5fa8 1504linkext below).
8e07c86e 1505
864a5fa8 1506=item MAKEAPERL
8e07c86e 1507
864a5fa8 1508Boolean which tells MakeMaker, that it should include the rules to
1509make a perl. This is handled automatically as a switch by
1510MakeMaker. The user normally does not need it.
8e07c86e 1511
864a5fa8 1512=item MAKEFILE
8e07c86e 1513
864a5fa8 1514The name of the Makefile to be produced.
8e07c86e 1515
864a5fa8 1516=item MAN1PODS
8e07c86e 1517
864a5fa8 1518Hashref of pod-containing files. MakeMaker will default this to all
1519EXE_FILES files that include POD directives. The files listed
1520here will be converted to man pages and installed as was requested
1521at Configure time.
8e07c86e 1522
864a5fa8 1523=item MAN3PODS
8e07c86e 1524
bfa2a9ad 1525Hashref that assigns to *.pm and *.pod files the files into which the
1526manpages are to be written. MakeMaker parses all *.pod and *.pm files
1527for POD directives. Files that contain POD will be the default keys of
1528the MAN3PODS hashref. These will then be converted to man pages during
1529C<make> and will be installed during C<make install>.
8e07c86e 1530
864a5fa8 1531=item MAP_TARGET
8e07c86e 1532
864a5fa8 1533If it is intended, that a new perl binary be produced, this variable
1534may hold a name for that binary. Defaults to perl
8e07c86e 1535
864a5fa8 1536=item MYEXTLIB
4633a7c4 1537
864a5fa8 1538If the extension links to a library that it builds set this to the
1539name of the library (see SDBM_File)
4633a7c4 1540
864a5fa8 1541=item NAME
8e07c86e 1542
864a5fa8 1543Perl module name for this extension (DBD::Oracle). This will default
1544to the directory name but should be explicitly defined in the
1545Makefile.PL.
8e07c86e 1546
864a5fa8 1547=item NEEDS_LINKING
8e07c86e 1548
a7665c5e 1549MakeMaker will figure out if an extension contains linkable code
864a5fa8 1550anywhere down the directory tree, and will set this variable
a7665c5e 1551accordingly, but you can speed it up a very little bit if you define
864a5fa8 1552this boolean variable yourself.
8e07c86e 1553
e05e23b1 1554=item NOECHO
1555
f1387719 1556Defaults to C<@>. By setting it to an empty string you can generate a
e05e23b1 1557Makefile that echos all commands. Mainly used in debugging MakeMaker
1558itself.
1559
864a5fa8 1560=item NORECURS
8e07c86e 1561
e05e23b1 1562Boolean. Attribute to inhibit descending into subdirectories.
8e07c86e 1563
762efda7 1564=item NO_VC
1565
a7665c5e 1566In general, any generated Makefile checks for the current version of
762efda7 1567MakeMaker and the version the Makefile was built under. If NO_VC is
1568set, the version check is neglected. Do not write this into your
1569Makefile.PL, use it interactively instead.
1570
864a5fa8 1571=item OBJECT
8e07c86e 1572
864a5fa8 1573List of object files, defaults to '$(BASEEXT)$(OBJ_EXT)', but can be a long
1574string containing all object files, e.g. "tkpBind.o
1575tkpButton.o tkpCanvas.o"
8e07c86e 1576
e35b8f9e 1577(Where BASEEXT is the last component of NAME, and OBJ_EXT is $Config{obj_ext}.)
1578
3b03c0f3 1579=item OPTIMIZE
1580
1581Defaults to C<-O>. Set it to C<-g> to turn debugging on. The flag is
1582passed to subdirectory makes.
1583
864a5fa8 1584=item PERL
8e07c86e 1585
864a5fa8 1586Perl binary for tasks that can be done by miniperl
8e07c86e 1587
864a5fa8 1588=item PERLMAINCC
005c1a0e 1589
864a5fa8 1590The call to the program that is able to compile perlmain.c. Defaults
1591to $(CC).
005c1a0e 1592
864a5fa8 1593=item PERL_ARCHLIB
005c1a0e 1594
e35b8f9e 1595Same as below, but for architecture dependent files.
8e07c86e 1596
864a5fa8 1597=item PERL_LIB
8e07c86e 1598
864a5fa8 1599Directory containing the Perl library to use.
8e07c86e 1600
e35b8f9e 1601=item PERL_MALLOC_OK
1602
1603defaults to 0. Should be set to TRUE if the extension can work with
1604the memory allocation routines substituted by the Perl malloc() subsystem.
1605This should be applicable to most extensions with exceptions of those
1606
1607=over 4
1608
1609=item *
1610
1611with bugs in memory allocations which are caught by Perl's malloc();
1612
1613=item *
1614
1615which interact with the memory allocator in other ways than via
1616malloc(), realloc(), free(), calloc(), sbrk() and brk();
1617
1618=item *
1619
1620which rely on special alignment which is not provided by Perl's malloc().
1621
1622=back
1623
1624B<NOTE.> Negligence to set this flag in I<any one> of loaded extension
1625nullifies many advantages of Perl's malloc(), such as better usage of
1626system resources, error detection, memory usage reporting, catchable failure
1627of memory allocations, etc.
1628
864a5fa8 1629=item PERL_SRC
8e07c86e 1630
864a5fa8 1631Directory containing the Perl source code (use of this should be
1632avoided, it may be undefined)
8e07c86e 1633
2366100d 1634=item PERM_RW
1635
de592821 1636Desired permission for read/writable files. Defaults to C<644>.
2366100d 1637See also L<MM_Unix/perm_rw>.
1638
1639=item PERM_RWX
1640
1641Desired permission for executable files. Defaults to C<755>.
1642See also L<MM_Unix/perm_rwx>.
1643
864a5fa8 1644=item PL_FILES
8e07c86e 1645
864a5fa8 1646Ref to hash of files to be processed as perl programs. MakeMaker
1647will default to any found *.PL file (except Makefile.PL) being keys
1648and the basename of the file being the value. E.g.
8e07c86e 1649
864a5fa8 1650 {'foobar.PL' => 'foobar'}
8e07c86e 1651
864a5fa8 1652The *.PL files are expected to produce output to the target files
3aa35033 1653themselves. If multiple files can be generated from the same *.PL
1654file then the value in the hash can be a reference to an array of
1655target file names. E.g.
1656
1657 {'foobar.PL' => ['foobar1','foobar2']}
8e07c86e 1658
864a5fa8 1659=item PM
8e07c86e 1660
864a5fa8 1661Hashref of .pm files and *.pl files to be installed. e.g.
8e07c86e 1662
864a5fa8 1663 {'name_of_file.pm' => '$(INST_LIBDIR)/install_as.pm'}
8e07c86e 1664
a3cb178b 1665By default this will include *.pm and *.pl and the files found in
1666the PMLIBDIRS directories. Defining PM in the
864a5fa8 1667Makefile.PL will override PMLIBDIRS.
8e07c86e 1668
864a5fa8 1669=item PMLIBDIRS
8e07c86e 1670
864a5fa8 1671Ref to array of subdirectories containing library files. Defaults to
a3cb178b 1672[ 'lib', $(BASEEXT) ]. The directories will be scanned and I<any> files
864a5fa8 1673they contain will be installed in the corresponding location in the
1674library. A libscan() method can be used to alter the behaviour.
1675Defining PM in the Makefile.PL will override PMLIBDIRS.
8e07c86e 1676
e35b8f9e 1677(Where BASEEXT is the last component of NAME.)
1678
131aa089 1679=item PM_FILTER
1680
1681A filter program, in the traditional Unix sense (input from stdin, output
1682to stdout) that is passed on each .pm file during the build (in the
1683pm_to_blib() phase). It is empty by default, meaning no filtering is done.
1684
1685Great care is necessary when defining the command if quoting needs to be
1686done. For instance, you would need to say:
1687
1688 {'PM_FILTER' => 'grep -v \\"^\\#\\"'}
1689
1690to remove all the leading coments on the fly during the build. The
1691extra \\ are necessary, unfortunately, because this variable is interpolated
1692within the context of a Perl program built on the command line, and double
1693quotes are what is used with the -e switch to build that command line. The
1694# is escaped for the Makefile, since what is going to be generated will then
1695be:
1696
1697 PM_FILTER = grep -v \"^\#\"
1698
1699Without the \\ before the #, we'd have the start of a Makefile comment,
1700and the macro would be incorrectly defined.
1701
2aea4d40 1702=item POLLUTE
1703
1704Release 5.005 grandfathered old global symbol names by providing preprocessor
a7665c5e 1705macros for extension source compatibility. As of release 5.6, these
2aea4d40 1706preprocessor definitions are not available by default. The POLLUTE flag
1707specifies that the old names should still be defined:
1708
1709 perl Makefile.PL POLLUTE=1
1710
1711Please inform the module author if this is necessary to successfully install
a7665c5e 1712a module under 5.6 or later.
2aea4d40 1713
875fa795 1714=item PPM_INSTALL_EXEC
1715
20e08411 1716Name of the executable used to run C<PPM_INSTALL_SCRIPT> below. (e.g. perl)
875fa795 1717
1718=item PPM_INSTALL_SCRIPT
1719
1720Name of the script that gets executed by the Perl Package Manager after
1721the installation of a package.
1722
864a5fa8 1723=item PREFIX
8e07c86e 1724
864a5fa8 1725Can be used to set the three INSTALL* attributes in one go (except for
e05e23b1 1726probably INSTALLMAN1DIR, if it is not below PREFIX according to
1727%Config). They will have PREFIX as a common directory node and will
1728branch from that node into lib/, lib/ARCHNAME or whatever Configure
1729decided at the build time of your perl (unless you override one of
1730them, of course).
8e07c86e 1731
f1387719 1732=item PREREQ_PM
8e07c86e 1733
f1387719 1734Hashref: Names of modules that need to be available to run this
1735extension (e.g. Fcntl for SDBM_File) are the keys of the hash and the
1736desired version is the value. If the required version number is 0, we
1737only check if any version is installed already.
8e07c86e 1738
864a5fa8 1739=item SKIP
8e07c86e 1740
864a5fa8 1741Arryref. E.g. [qw(name1 name2)] skip (do not write) sections of the
a7665c5e 1742Makefile. Caution! Do not use the SKIP attribute for the negligible
1743speedup. It may seriously damage the resulting Makefile. Only use it
f1387719 1744if you really need it.
8e07c86e 1745
864a5fa8 1746=item TYPEMAPS
8e07c86e 1747
864a5fa8 1748Ref to array of typemap file names. Use this when the typemaps are
1749in some directory other than the current directory or when they are
1750not named B<typemap>. The last typemap in the list takes
1751precedence. A typemap in the current directory has highest
1752precedence, even if it isn't listed in TYPEMAPS. The default system
1753typemap has lowest precedence.
8e07c86e 1754
864a5fa8 1755=item VERSION
8e07c86e 1756
864a5fa8 1757Your version number for distributing the package. This defaults to
17580.1.
8e07c86e 1759
0d8023a2 1760=item VERSION_FROM
1761
1762Instead of specifying the VERSION in the Makefile.PL you can let
1763MakeMaker parse a file to determine the version number. The parsing
1764routine requires that the file named by VERSION_FROM contains one
1765single line to compute the version number. The first line in the file
1766that contains the regular expression
1767
84902520 1768 /([\$*])(([\w\:\']*)\bVERSION)\b.*\=/
0d8023a2 1769
1770will be evaluated with eval() and the value of the named variable
1771B<after> the eval() will be assigned to the VERSION attribute of the
1772MakeMaker object. The following lines will be parsed o.k.:
1773
1774 $VERSION = '1.00';
84902520 1775 *VERSION = \'1.01';
2366100d 1776 ( $VERSION ) = '$Revision: 1.222 $ ' =~ /\$Revision:\s+([^\s]+)/;
0d8023a2 1777 $FOO::VERSION = '1.10';
84902520 1778 *FOO::VERSION = \'1.11';
e35b8f9e 1779 our $VERSION = 1.2.3; # new for perl5.6.0
0d8023a2 1780
1781but these will fail:
1782
1783 my $VERSION = '1.01';
1784 local $VERSION = '1.02';
1785 local $FOO::VERSION = '1.30';
1786
e35b8f9e 1787(Putting C<my> or C<local> on the preceding line will work o.k.)
1788
84902520 1789The file named in VERSION_FROM is not added as a dependency to
1790Makefile. This is not really correct, but it would be a major pain
1791during development to have to rewrite the Makefile for any smallish
1792change in that file. If you want to make sure that the Makefile
1793contains the correct VERSION macro after any change of the file, you
1794would have to do something like
1795
1796 depend => { Makefile => '$(VERSION_FROM)' }
1797
1798See attribute C<depend> below.
0d8023a2 1799
864a5fa8 1800=item XS
8e07c86e 1801
864a5fa8 1802Hashref of .xs files. MakeMaker will default this. e.g.
8e07c86e 1803
864a5fa8 1804 {'name_of_file.xs' => 'name_of_file.c'}
8e07c86e 1805
864a5fa8 1806The .c files will automatically be included in the list of files
1807deleted by a make clean.
4633a7c4 1808
864a5fa8 1809=item XSOPT
8e07c86e 1810
864a5fa8 1811String of options to pass to xsubpp. This might include C<-C++> or
1812C<-extern>. Do not include typemaps here; the TYPEMAP parameter exists for
1813that purpose.
8e07c86e 1814
864a5fa8 1815=item XSPROTOARG
4633a7c4 1816
4e68a208 1817May be set to an empty string, which is identical to C<-prototypes>, or
864a5fa8 1818C<-noprototypes>. See the xsubpp documentation for details. MakeMaker
4e68a208 1819defaults to the empty string.
1820
0d8023a2 1821=item XS_VERSION
1822
1823Your version number for the .xs file of this package. This defaults
1824to the value of the VERSION attribute.
1825
8e07c86e 1826=back
1827

1851If you specify COMPRESS, then SUFFIX should also be altered, as it is
1852needed to tell make the target file of the compression. Setting
1853DIST_CP to ln can be useful, if you need to preserve the timestamps on
1854your files. DIST_CP can take the values 'cp', which copies the file,
1855'ln', which links the file, and 'best' which copies symbolic links and
1856links the rest. Default is 'best'.

1892=head2 Overriding MakeMaker Methods
1893
1894If you cannot achieve the desired Makefile behaviour by specifying
1895attributes you may define private subroutines in the Makefile.PL.
1896Each subroutines returns the text it wishes to have written to
1897the Makefile. To override a section of the Makefile you can
1898either say:
1899
1900 sub MY::c_o { "new literal text" }
1901
1902or you can edit the default by saying something like:
1903
8e07c86e 1904 sub MY::c_o {
14870ecd 1905 package MY; # so that "SUPER" works right
1906 my $inherited = shift->SUPER::c_o(@_);
f1387719 1907 $inherited =~ s/old text/new text/;
1908 $inherited;
8e07c86e 1909 }
1910
bdda3fbd 1911If you are running experiments with embedding perl as a library into
1912other applications, you might find MakeMaker is not sufficient. You'd
1913better have a look at ExtUtils::Embed which is a collection of utilities
1914for embedding.
005c1a0e 1915
1916If you still need a different solution, try to develop another
bdda3fbd 1917subroutine that fits your needs and submit the diffs to
1918F<perl5-porters@perl.org> or F<comp.lang.perl.moderated> as appropriate.
005c1a0e 1919
3b03c0f3 1920For a complete description of all MakeMaker methods see L<ExtUtils::MM_Unix>.
1921
1922Here is a simple example of how to add a new target to the generated
1923Makefile:
1924
1925 sub MY::postamble {
1926 '
1927 $(MYEXTLIB): sdbm/Makefile
1928 cd sdbm && $(MAKE) all
1929 ';
1930 }
1931
1932
f1387719 1933=head2 Hintsfile support
1934
1935MakeMaker.pm uses the architecture specific information from
1936Config.pm. In addition it evaluates architecture specific hints files
1937in a C<hints/> directory. The hints files are expected to be named
1938like their counterparts in C<PERL_SRC/hints>, but with an C<.pl> file
1939name extension (eg. C<next_3_2.pl>). They are simply C<eval>ed by
1940MakeMaker within the WriteMakefile() subroutine, and can be used to
1941execute commands as well as to include special variables. The rules
1942which hintsfile is chosen are the same as in Configure.
1943
1944The hintsfile is eval()ed immediately after the arguments given to
1945WriteMakefile are stuffed into a hash reference $self but before this
1946reference becomes blessed. So if you want to do the equivalent to
1947override or create an attribute you would say something like
1948
1949 $self->{LIBS} = ['-ldbm -lucb -lc'];
1950
005c1a0e 1951=head2 Distribution Support
1952
1953For authors of extensions MakeMaker provides several Makefile
1954targets. Most of the support comes from the ExtUtils::Manifest module,
1955where additional documentation can be found.
1956
1957=over 4
1958
1959=item make distcheck
8e07c86e 1960
005c1a0e 1961reports which files are below the build directory but not in the
1962MANIFEST file and vice versa. (See ExtUtils::Manifest::fullcheck() for
1963details)
1964
4633a7c4 1965=item make skipcheck
1966
1967reports which files are skipped due to the entries in the
1968C<MANIFEST.SKIP> file (See ExtUtils::Manifest::skipcheck() for
1969details)
1970
005c1a0e 1971=item make distclean
8e07c86e 1972
005c1a0e 1973does a realclean first and then the distcheck. Note that this is not
a7665c5e 1974needed to build a new distribution as long as you are sure that the
005c1a0e 1975MANIFEST file is ok.
1976
1977=item make manifest
8e07c86e 1978
005c1a0e 1979rewrites the MANIFEST file, adding all remaining files found (See
1980ExtUtils::Manifest::mkmanifest() for details)
1981
1982=item make distdir
8e07c86e 1983
005c1a0e 1984Copies all the files that are in the MANIFEST file to a newly created
1985directory with the name C<$(DISTNAME)-$(VERSION)>. If that directory
1986exists, it will be removed first.
1987
8e07c86e 1988=item make disttest
1989
1990Makes a distdir first, and runs a C<perl Makefile.PL>, a make, and
4633a7c4 1991a make test in that directory.
8e07c86e 1992
005c1a0e 1993=item make tardist
8e07c86e 1994
3b03c0f3 1995First does a distdir. Then a command $(PREOP) which defaults to a null
f1387719 1996command, followed by $(TOUNIX), which defaults to a null command under
1997UNIX, and will convert files in distribution directory to UNIX format
1998otherwise. Next it runs C<tar> on that directory into a tarfile and
3b03c0f3 1999deletes the directory. Finishes with a command $(POSTOP) which
2000defaults to a null command.
005c1a0e 2001
2002=item make dist
8e07c86e 2003
005c1a0e 2004Defaults to $(DIST_DEFAULT) which in turn defaults to tardist.
2005
2006=item make uutardist
8e07c86e 2007
005c1a0e 2008Runs a tardist first and uuencodes the tarfile.
2009
2010=item make shdist
8e07c86e 2011
3b03c0f3 2012First does a distdir. Then a command $(PREOP) which defaults to a null
2013command. Next it runs C<shar> on that directory into a sharfile and
2014deletes the intermediate directory again. Finishes with a command
2015$(POSTOP) which defaults to a null command. Note: For shdist to work
2016properly a C<shar> program that can handle directories is mandatory.
2017
2018=item make zipdist
2019
2020First does a distdir. Then a command $(PREOP) which defaults to a null
2021command. Runs C<$(ZIP) $(ZIPFLAGS)> on that directory into a
2022zipfile. Then deletes that directory. Finishes with a command
2023$(POSTOP) which defaults to a null command.
005c1a0e 2024
2025=item make ci
8e07c86e 2026
2027Does a $(CI) and a $(RCS_LABEL) on all files in the MANIFEST file.
2028
2029=back
005c1a0e 2030
2031Customization of the dist targets can be done by specifying a hash
2032reference to the dist attribute of the WriteMakefile call. The
2033following parameters are recognized:
2034
8e07c86e 2035 CI ('ci -u')
5f8e730b 2036 COMPRESS ('gzip --best')
005c1a0e 2037 POSTOP ('@ :')
8e07c86e 2038 PREOP ('@ :')
f1387719 2039 TO_UNIX (depends on the system)
8e07c86e 2040 RCS_LABEL ('rcs -q -Nv$(VERSION_SYM):')
2041 SHAR ('shar')
5f8e730b 2042 SUFFIX ('.gz')
8e07c86e 2043 TAR ('tar')
2044 TARFLAGS ('cvf')
3b03c0f3 2045 ZIP ('zip')
2046 ZIPFLAGS ('-r')
005c1a0e 2047
2048An example:
2049
5f8e730b 2050 WriteMakefile( 'dist' => { COMPRESS=>"bzip2", SUFFIX=>".bz2" })

1b171b8d 2052=head2 Disabling an extension
2053
2054If some events detected in F<Makefile.PL> imply that there is no way
2055to create the Module, but this is a normal state of things, then you
2056can create a F<Makefile> which does nothing, but succeeds on all the
2057"usual" build targets. To do so, use
2058
2059 ExtUtils::MakeMaker::WriteEmptyMakefile();
2060
2061instead of WriteMakefile().
2062
2063This may be useful if other modules expect this module to be I<built>
2064OK, as opposed to I<work> OK (say, this system-dependent module builds
2065in a subdirectory of some other distribution, or is listed as a
2066dependency in a CPAN::Bundle, but the functionality is supported by
2067different means on the current architecture).
