This requires + building a message file and then compiling it and linking it into the + final .DLL produced by MakeMaker. The default message text file used + by Sys::Syslog is PerlLog.mc, located in the win32/ subdirectory. + + If the message file is updated then you need to go in the win32/ + subdirectory and run the "compile.pl" command to update the relevent + files. Note that Sys::Syslog::Win32 is built by this process. + + The following files are in the win32 directory: + + PerlLog.mc -- Message file, change this if you change anything. + compile.pl -- Compile the message file and produce Win32.pm and + PerlLog.RES. Requires that mc.exe and rc.exe are + in the path. + + PerlLog.RES -- Precompiled resource file, used when building the DLL + Win32.pm -- Generated Win32 module for working with the resource file + + When building win32/PerlLog.RES will be linked into the final XS file, + and win32/Win32.pm will be copied to lib/Sys/Syslog/Win32.pm, which will + then be installed by MakeMaker as per normal. + |
