ExtUtils::MM_Win32 - methods to override UN*X behaviour in ExtUtils::MakeMaker
SYNOPSIS
use ExtUtils::MM_Win32; # Done internally by ExtUtils::MakeMaker if needed
DESCRIPTION
See ExtUtils::MM_Unix for a documentation of the methods provided there. This package overrides the implementation of these methods, not
the semantics.
Overridden methods
dlsyms
replace_manpage_separator
Changes the path separator with .
maybe_command
Since Windows has nothing as simple as an executable bit, we check the file extension.
The PATHEXT env variable will be used to get a list of extensions that might indicate a command, otherwise .com, .exe, .bat and .cmd
will be used by default.
init_DIRFILESEP
Using for Windows.
init_tools
Override some of the slower, portable commands with Windows specific ones.
init_others
Override the default link and compile tools.
LDLOADLIBS's default is changed to $Config{libs}.
Adjustments are made for Borland's quirks needing -L to come first.
init_platform
Add MM_Win32_VERSION.
platform_constants
constants
Add MAXLINELENGTH for dmake before all the constants are output.
special_targets
Add .USESHELL target for dmake.
static_lib
Changes how to run the linker.
The rest is duplicate code from MM_Unix. Should move the linker code to its own method.
dynamic_lib
Complicated stuff for Win32 that I don't understand. :(
extra_clean_files
Clean out some extra dll.{base,exp} files which might be generated by gcc. Otherwise, take out all *.pdb files.
init_linker
perl_script
Checks for the perl program under several common perl extensions.
xs_o
This target is stubbed out. Not sure why.
pasthru
All we send is -nologo to nmake to prevent it from printing its damned banner.
arch_check (override)
Normalize all arguments for consistency of comparison.
oneliner
These are based on what command.com does on Win98. They may be wrong for other Windows shells, I don't know.
cd dmake can handle Unix style cd'ing but nmake (at least 1.5) cannot. It wants:
cd dir1dir2
command
another_command
cd ....
max_exec_len
nmake 1.50 limits command length to 2048 characters.
os_flavor
Windows is Win32.
cflags
Defines the PERLDLL symbol if we are configured for static building since all code destined for the perl5xx.dll must be compiled with
the PERLDLL symbol defined.

ExtUtils::MM_MacOS - methods to override UN*X behaviour in ExtUtils::MakeMaker
SYNOPSIS
use ExtUtils::MM_MacOS; # Done internally by ExtUtils::MakeMaker if needed
DESCRIPTION
MM_MacOS currently only produces an approximation to the correct Makefile.
maybe_command
Returns true, if the argument is likely to be a command.
guess_name
Guess the name of this package by examining the working directory's name. MakeMaker calls this only if the developer has not sup-
plied a NAME attribute.
macify Translate relative path names into Mac names.
patternify
Translate to Mac names & patterns
init_main
Initializes some of NAME, FULLEXT, BASEEXT, ROOTEXT, DLBASE, PERL_SRC, PERL_LIB, PERL_ARCHLIB, PERL_INC, INSTALLDIRS, INST_*,
INSTALL*, PREFIX, CONFIG, AR, AR_STATIC_ARGS, LD, OBJ_EXT, LIB_EXT, MAP_TARGET, LIBPERL_A, VERSION_FROM, VERSION, DISTNAME, VER-
SION_SYM.
init_others
Initializes LDLOADLIBS, LIBS
init_dirscan
Initializes DIR, XS, PM, C, O_FILES, H, PL_FILES, MAN*PODS, EXE_FILES.
libscan (o)
Takes a path to a file that is found by init_dirscan and returns false if we don't want to include this file in the library. Mainly
used to exclude RCS, CVS, and SCCS directories from installation.
constants (o)
Initializes lots of constants and .SUFFIXES and .PHONY
static (o)
Defines the static target.
dlsyms (o)
Used by MacOS to define DL_FUNCS and DL_VARS and write the *.exp files.
dynamic (o)
Defines the dynamic target.
clean (o)
Defines the clean target.
realclean (o)
Defines the realclean target.
rulez (o)
processPL (o)
Defines targets to run *.PL files.
