ExtUtils::MM_Win32 - methods to override UN*X behaviour in
ExtUtils::MakeMaker
use ExtUtils::MM_Win32; # Done internally by ExtUtils::MakeMaker if needed
See ExtUtils::MM_Unix for a documentation of the methods provided
there. This package overrides the implementation of these methods, not the
semantics.
- dlsyms
- xs_dlsyms_ext
- On Win32, is ".def".
- 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, except for "gmake" where it is /.
- 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
- specify_shell
- Set SHELL to $ENV{COMSPEC} only if make is type
'gmake'.
- constants
- Add MAXLINELENGTH for dmake before all the constants are output.
- special_targets
- Add .USESHELL target for dmake.
- static_lib_pure_cmd
- Defines how to run the archive utility
- dynamic_lib
- Methods are overridden here: not dynamic_lib itself, but the utility ones
that do the OS-specific work.
- 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.
- quote_dep
- xs_obj_opt
- Override to fixup -o flags for MSVC.
- 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 dir1\dir2
command
another_command
cd ..\..
- max_exec_len
- nmake 1.50 limits command length to 2048 characters.
- os_flavor
- Windows is Win32.
- dbgoutflag
- Returns a CC flag that tells the CC to emit a separate debugging symbol
file when compiling an object file.
- 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.
- make_type
- Returns a suitable string describing the type of makefile being
written.
