NAME

       ExtUtils::MM_MacOS - once produced Makefiles for MacOS Classic

SYNOPSIS

	 # MM_MacOS no longer contains any code.  This is just a stub.

DESCRIPTION

       Once upon a time, MakeMaker could produce an approximation of a correct Makefile on MacOS Classic (MacPerl).  Due to a lack of maintainers,
       this fell out of sync with the rest of MakeMaker and hadn't worked in years.  Since there's little chance of it being repaired, MacOS
       Classic is fading away, and the code was icky to begin with, the code has been deleted to make maintenance easier.

       Those interested in writing modules for MacPerl should use Module::Build which works better than MakeMaker ever did.

       Anyone interested in resurrecting this file should pull the old version from the MakeMaker CVS repository and contact makemaker@perl.org,
       but we really encourage you to work on Module::Build instead.

NAME

       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.
