If this parameter is true, failing to have the required modules or the right versions thereof will be fatal. PL will die instead of simply informing the user of the missing dependencies. Its use by module authors is strongly discouraged and should never be used lightly.
For dependencies that are required in order to run Makefile. Module installation tools have ways of resolving unmet dependencies but to do that they need a Makefile.
That's bad. Assuming you have good test coverage, your tests should fail with missing dependencies informing the user more strongly that something is wrong. A hash of modules that are needed to run your module. The keys are the module names ie.
Test::More, and the minimum version is the value. If the required version number is 0 any version will do. This will go into the requires field of your META. If this parameter is true, the prerequisites will be printed to stdout and MakeMaker will exit. The output format is an evalable hash ref. If a distribution defines a minimal required perl version, this is added to the output as an additional line of the form:. Perls prior to 5.
Do not use the SKIP attribute for the negligible speedup. It may seriously damage the resulting Makefile. Only use it if you really need it.
Ref to array of typemap file names. Use this when the typemaps are in some directory other than the current directory or when they are not named typemap.
The last typemap in the list takes precedence. The default system typemap has lowest precedence. PL you can let MakeMaker parse a file to determine the version number. The following lines will be parsed o. As of MakeMaker 6. This is not really correct, but it would be a major pain during development to have to rewrite the Makefile for any smallish change in that file. For places where. Note xs is the file-extension.
More possibilities may arise in the future. Note that object names are specified without their XS extension. This feature should be considered experimental, and details of it may change. Hopefully this feature will render that module mainly obsolete. String of options to pass to xsubpp. May be set to -prototypes , -noprototypes or the empty string. The empty string is equivalent to the xsubpp default, or -noprototypes.
See the xsubpp documentation for details. MakeMaker defaults to the empty string. Your version number for the. Parameters are specified as a hash ref but are passed to the method as a hash. Default is 'best'. Since version 5. MakeMaker recognizes when there's nothing to be linked. Anything put here will be passed to MY::postamble if you have one. If you cannot achieve the desired Makefile behaviour by specifying attributes you may define private subroutines in the Makefile.
To override a section of the Makefile you can either say:. If you are running experiments with embedding perl as a library into other applications, you might find MakeMaker is not sufficient.
You'd better have a look at ExtUtils::Embed which is a collection of utilities for embedding. If you still need a different solution, try to develop another subroutine that fits your needs and submit the diffs to makemaker perl. WriteMakefile now does some basic sanity checks on its parameters to protect against typos and malformatted values. This means some things which happened to work in the past will now throw warnings and possibly produce internal errors. This is commonly used to suppress the creation of man pages.
They are simply eval ed by MakeMaker within the WriteMakefile subroutine, and can be used to execute commands as well as to include special variables. The rules which hintsfile is chosen are the same as in Configure. So if you want to do the equivalent to override or create an attribute you would say something like.
For authors of extensions MakeMaker provides several Makefile targets. Most of the support comes from the ExtUtils::Manifest module, where additional documentation can be found. See "fullcheck" in ExtUtils::Manifest for details. If that directory exists, it will be removed first. Additionally, it will create META. Makes a distdir first, and runs a perl Makefile. PL , a make, and a make test in that directory. First does a distdir. Next it runs tar on that directory into a tarfile and deletes the directory.
Next it runs shar on that directory into a sharfile and deletes the intermediate directory again. Note: For shdist to work properly a shar program that can handle directories is mandatory. Then deletes that directory. Customization of the dist targets can be done by specifying a hash reference to the dist attribute of the WriteMakefile call.
The following parameters are recognized:. Long plaguing users of MakeMaker based modules has been the problem of getting basic information about the module out of the sources without running the Makefile. PL and doing a bunch of messy heuristics on the resulting Makefile. Over the years, it has become standard to keep this information in one or more CPAN Meta files distributed with each distribution.
In , version 2 of the CPAN::Meta::Spec was released, which mandates JSON format for the metadata in order to overcome certain compatibility issues between YAML serializers and to avoid breaking older clients unable to handle a new version of the spec. This is intended to seamlessly and rapidly populate CPAN with module meta-data. If some events detected in Makefile. PL imply that there is no way to create the Module, but this is a normal state of things, then you can create a Makefile which does nothing, but succeeds on all the "usual" build targets.
To do so, use. This may be useful if other modules expect this module to be built OK, as opposed to work OK say, this system-dependent module builds in a subdirectory of some other distribution, or is listed as a dependency in a CPAN::Bundle, but the functionality is supported by different means on the current architecture.
The prompt function provides an easy way to request user input used to write a makefile. This prevents automated processes from blocking on user input. PL before calling WriteMakefile. It is essentially a die with the message "OS unsupported". Please note that while this module works on Perl 5. However, patches to repair any breakage on 5.
The string is split as the shell would, and the result is processed before any actual command line arguments are processed. If set to a true value then MakeMaker's prompt function will always return the default without waiting for user input.
Module::Build is a pure-Perl alternative to MakeMaker which does not rely on make or any other external utility. It may be easier to extend to suit your needs. PL protocol of Module::Build but without its complexity and cruft, implementing only the installation of the module and leaving authoring to mbtiny or other authoring tools.
Module::Install is a now discouraged wrapper around MakeMaker which adds features not normally available. File::ShareDir::Install makes it easy to install static, sometimes also referred to as 'shared' files. File::ShareDir helps accessing the shared files after installation. Test::File::ShareDir helps when writing tests to use the shared files both before and after installation. Dist::Zilla is an authoring tool which allows great customization and extensibility of the author experience, relying on the existing install tools like ExtUtils::MakeMaker only for installation.
Dist::Milla is a Dist::Zilla bundle that greatly simplifies common usage. Minilla is a minimal authoring tool that does the same things as Dist::Milla without the overhead of Dist::Zilla. Andy Dougherty doughera lafayette. VMS support by Charles Bailey bailey newman. Please send your generated Makefile along with your report. For more information on module installation, please visit the detailed CPAN module installation guide.
How To Write A Makefile. The long answer is the rest of the manpage :- Default Makefile Behaviour The generated Makefile enables the user of the extension to invoke perl Makefile.
PL optionally "perl Makefile. You can check the values of these variables on your system with perl '-V:install. To have everything installed in your home directory, do the following. AFS users will have to specify the installation directories as these most probably have changed since perl itself has been installed. They will have to do this by calling perl Makefile. Static Linking of a new Perl Binary An extension that is built with the above steps is ready to use on systems supporting dynamic loading.
PL or make: perl Makefile. Which architecture dependent directory? All other marks are property of their respective owners. Recent Packages Popular Packages Authors. Download ActivePerl.
ExtUtils-MakeMaker 7. Perl 5. Links CPAN. Author Chris Williams. PL except Makefile. PL and Build. PL in the top level directory will be assumed to be a Perl program and run passing its own basename in as an argument.
For example This behavior can be overridden by supplying your own set of files to search. This apparently odd behavior is there for backwards compatibility and its somewhat DWIM.
Defining PM in the Makefile. Ref to array of subdirectories containing library files. The directories will be scanned and any files they contain will be installed in the corresponding location in the library. A libscan method can be used to alter the behaviour. A filter program, in the traditional Unix sense input from stdin, output to stdout that is passed on each.
It is empty by default, meaning no filtering is done. Great care is necessary when defining the command if quoting needs to be done. For instance, you would need to say:. The is escaped for the Makefile, since what is going to be generated will then be:. Release 5. As of release 5. Please inform the module author if this is necessary to successfully install a module under 5. Name of the script that gets executed by the Perl Package Manager after the installation of a package.
This overrides all the default install locations. Man pages, libraries, scripts, etc Failing that, it will fall back to a structure which should be sensible for your platform. If this parameter is true, failing to have the required modules or the right versions thereof will be fatal. PL will die instead of simply informing the user of the missing dependencies. Its use by module authors is strongly discouraged and should never be used lightly.
Module installation tools have ways of resolving umet dependencies but to do that they need a Makefile. That's bad. The only situation where it is appropriate is when you have dependencies that are indispensible to actually write a Makefile. For example, MakeMaker's Makefile. PL needs File::Spec. If its not available it cannot write the Makefile.
Note: see Test::Harness for a shortcut for stopping tests early if you are missing dependencies and are afraid that users might use your module with an incomplete environment. A hash of modules that are needed to run your module. The keys are the module names ie. Test::More, and the minimum version is the value. If the required version number is 0 any version will do. This will go into the requires field of your META. If this parameter is true, the prerequisites will be printed to stdout and MakeMaker will exit.
The output format is an evalable hash ref. If a distribution defines a minimal required perl version, this is added to the output as an additional line of the form:.
The output format is different, though:. Perls prior to 5. Do not use the SKIP attribute for the negligible speedup. It may seriously damage the resulting Makefile. Only use it if you really need it. Ref to array of typemap file names. Use this when the typemaps are in some directory other than the current directory or when they are not named typemap.
The last typemap in the list takes precedence. The default system typemap has lowest precedence. PL you can let MakeMaker parse a file to determine the version number. The following lines will be parsed o. As of MakeMaker 6. Putting my or local on the preceding line will work o.
This is not really correct, but it would be a major pain during development to have to rewrite the Makefile for any smallish change in that file. For places where. String of options to pass to xsubpp. May be set to an empty string, which is identical to - prototypes , or - noprototypes. See the xsubpp documentation for details. MakeMaker defaults to the empty string. Your version number for the.
Parameters are specified as a hash ref but are passed to the method as a hash. Default is 'best'. Since version 5. MakeMaker recognizes when there's nothing to be linked. If you cannot achieve the desired Makefile behaviour by specifying attributes you may define private subroutines in the Makefile. To override a section of the Makefile you can either say:. If you are running experiments with embedding perl as a library into other applications, you might find MakeMaker is not sufficient.
You'd better have a look at ExtUtils::Embed which is a collection of utilities for embedding. If you still need a different solution, try to develop another subroutine that fits your needs and submit the diffs to makemaker perl.
WriteMakefile now does some basic sanity checks on its parameters to protect against typos and malformatted values. This means some things which happened to work in the past will now throw warnings and possibly produce internal errors. This is commonly used to suppress the creation of man pages. They are simply eval ed by MakeMaker within the WriteMakefile subroutine, and can be used to execute commands as well as to include special variables.
The rules which hintsfile is chosen are the same as in Configure. So if you want to do the equivalent to override or create an attribute you would say something like. For authors of extensions MakeMaker provides several Makefile targets.
Most of the support comes from the ExtUtils::Manifest module, where additional documentation can be found. See ExtUtils::Manifest::fullcheck for details.
If that directory exists, it will be removed first. Additionally, it will create a META.
