1 Revision history for Perl extension ExtUtils::CBuilder.
3 0.18 Sat Mar 25 13:35:47 CST 2006
5 - Yet more fixes for arg_defines() on VMS. [Craig A. Berry and John
8 0.17 Wed Mar 15 22:46:15 CST 2006
10 - When we're being run from an uninstalled perl distribution
11 (e.g. one that's in the process of being built and tested), we
12 search for perl first in the current working directory. [Randy
15 - More fixing of the arg_defines() method on VMS. [Craig A. Berry and
18 0.16 Mon Mar 13 17:08:21 CST 2006
20 - Fix quoting of command line arguments on Windows. [Yitzchak
23 - Provided a custom arg_defines() on VMS that does essentially the
24 same thing for /define that version 0.14 did for /include. [Craig
27 - Documented the existing 'quiet' parameter, which silences the
28 printing of system() commands. [Suggested by Yitzchak
31 0.15 Mon Oct 3 17:10:32 CDT 2005
33 - Several OS/2 fixes have been made, including: 1) adding the
34 necessary version string to DLLs, 2) passing the executable's name
35 to 'ldopts' without the .exe extension, 3) avoiding calling 'env'
36 via the 'shrpenv' thingy, since it triggers a fork() bug. [Ilya
39 - Integrate a couple cleanup-related changes from bleadperl that
40 somehow never got into this copy. [Steve Hay]
42 - Added a new 'defines' parameter to compile(), which gives a
43 platform-independant way to specify various -Dfoo=bar (or the
44 equivalent) compiler defines. [Randy W. Sims]
46 0.14 Mon Sep 19 13:40:37 CDT 2005
48 - Several fixes have been made for VMS, including: 1) there can only
49 be one /include qualifier, so merge multiple /includes into one; 2)
50 make sure the executable is named the same way that dynaloader will
51 look for it; 3) make sure the option files for the exported symbols
52 and the PERLSHR image are passed properly to the linker. [John
55 0.13 Wed Aug 24 20:05:59 CDT 2005
57 - Several temporary files weren't being cleaned up during testing,
58 because the 'cleanup' mechanism was never properly implemented.
59 This is now fixed. [Steve Hay]
61 0.12 Mon May 30 16:40:10 CDT 2005
63 - In order to integrate into the perl core, patches were contributed
64 that a) put a $VERSION variable in each .pm file, b) add a 'quiet'
65 parameter to new() to shut up some of the command-echoing, c)
66 checks for the perl source headers in the CORE/ directory in the
67 perl source tree, not in the post-installation location, and d)
68 adjusts the CWD when running the regression tests under the perl
69 core. [Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes]
71 - Various parts of the code were looking for the CORE/ directory in
72 $Config{archlib}, $Config{installarchlib}, and $Config{archlibexp}.
73 Only the latter is correct, so we use that everywhere now.
76 - For Unix-ish platforms, link_executable() will now prefer
77 $Config{cc} to $Config{ld}, because that typically works
78 better. [Jarkko Hietaniemi and H.Merijn Brand]
80 - Prelinking (invoking ExtUtils::Mksymlists to create options-files)
81 is now only done when we're building dynamic libraries. [Yitzchak
84 0.11 Tue Apr 5 20:58:41 CDT 2005
86 - Added a licensing statement to CBuilder.pm. [Spotted by Chip
89 0.10 Mon Mar 14 20:18:19 CST 2005
91 - Split out a few simple routines that format how compile switches
92 are formatted, so that we can override them for platforms like VMS
93 where they're very different.
95 - Fix compile() and link() on VMS. [Help from Michael Schwern and
98 0.09 Tue Feb 8 17:57:41 CST 2005
100 - Fixed a broken link_executable() method on cygwin - it now uses
101 'gcc' instead of $Config{ld} for the linking, because the latter is
102 actually a shell script which calls a perl script which calls gcc
103 in a way that only works for creating shared libraries, not
106 0.08 Tue Jan 18 21:54:11 CST 2005
108 - Fixed a testing error in which I had the prototype wrong for the
109 main() function. [Jose Pedro Oliveira]
111 0.07 Wed Jan 12 21:50:34 CST 2005
113 - Added the link_executable() method, which provides the ability to
114 create standalone executables. This is NOT yet implemented on
115 Windows, and therefore the tests for it are skipped on Win32.
116 [Alberto Manuel Brandao Simoes]
118 - Integrated the latest split_like_shell() for Windows from
119 Module::Build (really need to find a better home for this code...),
120 which now does a much better job of handling quotes and backslashes
121 and so on. [Randy Sims]
123 - Fixed a couple of Windows problems related to the output-file name
124 in link(), and some clobbering of the 'include_dirs' parameter to
125 compile(). [Randy Sims]
127 0.06 Mon Dec 27 22:51:36 CST 2004
129 - Fixed a bug on Unix environments in which our work-around for
130 shell-commands like "FOO=BAR cc" (which is supposed to be turned
131 into "env FOO=BAR cc" to actually work) wasn't being called.
133 0.05 Wed Oct 13 23:09:09 CDT 2004
135 - Fixed a bug in split_like_shell() in which leading whitespace was
136 creating an empty word, manifesting as something like "gcc - no
137 such file or directory" during tests. [Spotted by Warren L. Dodge]
139 - Incorporate another split_like_shell() fix from Module::Build.
141 0.04 Sun Oct 10 00:31:08 CDT 2004
143 - Changed the split_like_shell() method to use the shellwords()
144 function from Text::ParseWords (a core module since 5.0), which
145 does a much better job than the split() we were using.
148 0.03 Fri May 14 23:12:23 CDT 2004
150 - Fixed minor problems with the Build.PL file, the module names
153 - The VMS module declared itself with the wrong package name.
156 0.02 Fri Feb 20 10:17:40 CST 2004
158 - Fixed a bug in .../Platform/Windows.pm, in which compile() was
159 ignoring an 'include_dirs' argument. [Randy Sims]
161 - Fixed a bug in .../Platform/Windows.pm, in which output files were
162 being created in the root directory \ when they should be created
163 in the current directory. [Randy Sims]
166 0.01 Mon Jan 12 08:12:35 CST 2004
168 - Original release, taken from Module::Build's C-building code, with
169 patching help from Randy Sims.
