341 LDLOADLIBS, and LD_RUN_PATH.
343 Dependent libraries can be linked in one of three ways:
347 =item * For static extensions
349 by the ld command when the perl binary is linked with the extension
350 library. See EXTRALIBS below.
352 =item * For dynamic extensions
354 by the ld command when the shared object is built/linked. See
357 =item * For dynamic extensions
359 by the DynaLoader when the shared object is loaded. See BSLOADLIBS
366 List of libraries that need to be linked with when linking a perl
367 binary which includes this extension Only those libraries that
368 actually exist are included. These are written to a file and used
371 =head2 LDLOADLIBS and LD_RUN_PATH
373 List of those libraries which can or must be linked into the shared
374 library when created using ld. These may be static or dynamic
375 libraries. LD_RUN_PATH is a colon separated list of the directories
376 in LDLOADLIBS. It is passed as an environment variable to the process
377 that links the shared library.
381 List of those libraries that are needed but can be linked in
382 dynamically at run time on this platform. SunOS/Solaris does not need
383 this because ld records the information (from LDLOADLIBS) into the
384 object file. This list is used to create a .bs (bootstrap) file.
388 This module deals with a lot of system dependencies and has quite a
389 few architecture specific B<if>s in the code.
391 =head2 VMS implementation
393 The version of ext() which is executed under VMS differs from the
394 Unix-OS/2 version in several respects:
400 Input library and path specifications are accepted with or without the
401 C<-l> and C<-L> prefices used by Unix linkers. If neither prefix is
402 present, a token is considered a directory to search if it is in fact
403 a directory, and a library to search for otherwise. Authors who wish
404 their extensions to be portable to Unix or OS/2 should use the Unix
405 prefixes, since the Unix-OS/2 version of ext() requires them.
409 Wherever possible, shareable images are preferred to object libraries,
410 and object libraries to plain object files. In accordance with VMS
411 naming conventions, ext() looks for files named I<lib>shr and I<lib>rtl;
412 it also looks for I<lib>lib and libI<lib> to accomodate Unix conventions
413 used in some ported software.
417 For each library that is found, an appropriate directive for a linker options
418 file is generated. The return values are space-separated strings of
419 these directives, rather than elements used on the linker command line.
423 LDLOADLIBS and EXTRALIBS are always identical under VMS, and BSLOADLIBS
424 and LD_RIN_PATH are always empty.
428 In addition, an attempt is made to recognize several common Unix library
429 names, and filter them out or convert them to their VMS equivalents, as
432 In general, the VMS version of ext() should properly handle input from
433 extensions originally designed for a Unix or VMS environment. If you
434 encounter problems, or discover cases where the search could be improved,
