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

       Module::Build::Platform::MacOS - Builder class for MacOS platforms

DESCRIPTION

       The sole purpose of this module is to inherit from "Module::Build::Base" and override a few methods.  Please see Module::Build for the
       docs.

   Overridden Methods
       new()
	   MacPerl doesn't define $Config{sitelib} or $Config{sitearch} for some reason, but $Config{installsitelib} and $Config{installsitearch}
	   are there.  So we copy the install variables to the other location

       make_executable()
	   On MacOS we set the file type and creator to MacPerl so it will run with a double-click.

       dispatch()
	   Because there's no easy way to say "./Build test" on MacOS, if dispatch is called with no arguments and no @ARGV a dialog box will pop
	   up asking what action to take and any extra arguments.

	   Default action is "test".

       ACTION_realclean()
	   Need to unlock the Build program before deleting.
