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_others Override some of the Unix specific commands with portable ExtUtils::Command ones. Also provide defaults for LD and AR in case the %Config values aren't set. 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 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. perl v5.14.2 2011-09-26 ExtUtils::MM_Win32(3perl)
