=head1 NAME

ExtUtils::MakeMaker - create an extension Makefile

=head1 SYNOPSIS

C<use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;>

C<WriteMakefile( ATTRIBUTE =E<gt> VALUE [, ...] );>

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This utility is designed to write a Makefile for an extension module
from a Makefile.PL. It is based on the Makefile.SH model provided by
Andy Dougherty and the perl5-porters.

It splits the task of generating the Makefile into several subroutines
that can be individually overridden.  Each subroutine returns the text
it wishes to have written to the Makefile.

MakeMaker.pm uses the architecture specific information from
Config.pm. In addition the extension may contribute to the C<%Config>
hash table of Config.pm by supplying hints files in a C<hints/>
directory. The hints files are expected to be named like their
counterparts in C<PERL_SRC/hints>, but with an C<.pl> file name
extension (eg. C<next_3_2.sh>). They are simply C<eval>ed by MakeMaker
and can be used to execute commands as well as to include special
variables. If there is no hintsfile for the actual system, but for
some previous releases of the same operating system, the latest one of
those is used.

=head2 Default Makefile Behaviour

The automatically generated Makefile enables the user of the extension
to invoke

  perl Makefile.PL
  make
  make test # optionally set TEST_VERBOSE=1
  make install # See below

The Makefile to be produced may be altered by adding arguments of the
form C<KEY=VALUE>. If the user wants to have the extension installed
into a directory different from C<$Config{"installprivlib"}> it can be
done by specifying

  perl Makefile.PL INST_LIB=~/myperllib INST_EXE=~/bin

Note, that in this example MakeMaker does the tilde expansion for you
and INST_ARCHLIB is set to either C<INST_LIB/$Config{"osname"}> if
that directory exists and otherwise to INST_LIB.

Other interesting targets in the generated Makefile are

  make config     # to check if the Makefile is up-to-date
  make clean      # delete local temporary files (Makefile gets renamed)
  make realclean  # delete all derived files (including installed files)
  make distclean  # produce a gzipped file ready for shipping

The macros in the produced Makefile may be overridden on the command
line to the make call as in the following example:

  make INST_LIB=/some/where INST_ARCHLIB=/some/where INST_EXE=/u/k/bin

Note, that this is a solution provided by C<make> in general, so tilde
expansion will probably not be available and INST_ARCHLIB will not be
set automatically when INST_LIB is given as argument.

The generated Makefile does not set any permissions. The installer has
to decide, which umask should be in effect.

=head2 Special case C<make install>

The I<install> target of the generated Makefile is for system
administrators only that have writing permissions on the
system-specific directories $Config{installprivlib},
$Config{installarchlib}, and $Config{installbin}. This works, because
C<make> alone in fact puts all relevant files into directories that
are named by the macros INST_LIB, INST_ARCHLIB, and INST_EXE. All
three default to ./blib if you are not building below the perl source
directory. C<make install> is just a recursive call to C<make> with
the three relevant parameters set accordingly to the system-wide
defaults.

C<make install> per default writes some documentation of what has been
done into the file C<$Config{'installarchlib'}/perllocal.pod>. This is
an experimental feature. It can be bypassed by calling C<make
pure_install>.

Users that do not have privileges on the system but want to install
the relevant files of the module into their private library or binary
directories do not call C<make install>. In priciple they have the
choice to either say

    # case: trust the module
    perl Makefile.PL INST_LIB=~/perllib INST_EXE=~/bin
    make
    make test

or

    # case: want to run tests before installation
    perl Makefile.PL
    make
    make test
    make INST_LIB=/some/where INST_ARCHLIB=/foo/bar INST_EXE=/somebin

(C<make test> is not necessarily supported for all modules.)

=head2 Support to Link a new Perl Binary

An extension that is built with the above steps is ready to use on
systems supporting dynamic loading. On systems that do not support
dynamic loading, any newly created extension has to be linked together
with the available ressources. MakeMaker supports the linking process
by creating appropriate targets in the Makefile whenever an extension
is built. You can invoke the corresponding section of the makefile with

    make perl

That produces a new perl binary in the current directory with all
extensions linked in that can be found in INST_ARCHLIB and
PERL_ARCHLIB.

The binary can be installed into the directory where perl normally
resides on your machine with

    make inst_perl

To produce a perl binary with a different name than C<perl>, either say

    perl Makefile.PL MAP_TARGET=myperl
    make myperl
    make inst_perl

or say

    perl Makefile.PL
    make myperl MAP_TARGET=myperl
    make inst_perl MAP_TARGET=myperl

In any case you will be prompted with the correct invocation of the
C<inst_perl> target that installs the new binary into
$Config{'installbin'}.

Note, that there is a C<makeaperl> scipt in the perl distribution,
that supports the linking of a new perl binary in a similar fashion,
but with more options.

C<make inst_perl> per default writes some documentation of what has been
done into the file C<$Config{'installarchlib'}/perllocal.pod>. This
can be bypassed by calling C<make pure_inst_perl>.

Warning: the inst_perl: target is rather mighty and will probably
overwrite your existing perl binary. Use with care!

=head2 Determination of Perl Library and Installation Locations

MakeMaker needs to know, or to guess, where certain things are
located.  Especially INST_LIB and INST_ARCHLIB (where to install files
into), PERL_LIB and PERL_ARCHLIB (where to read existing modules
from), and PERL_INC (header files and C<libperl*.*>).

Extensions may be built either using the contents of the perl source
directory tree or from an installed copy of the perl library.

If an extension is being built below the C<ext/> directory of the perl
source then MakeMaker will set PERL_SRC automatically (e.g., C<../..>).
If PERL_SRC is defined then other variables default to the following:

  PERL_INC     = PERL_SRC
  PERL_LIB     = PERL_SRC/lib
  PERL_ARCHLIB = PERL_SRC/lib
  INST_LIB     = PERL_LIB
  INST_ARCHLIB = PERL_ARCHLIB

If an extension is being built away from the perl source then MakeMaker
will leave PERL_SRC undefined and default to using the installed copy
of the perl library. The other variables default to the following:

  PERL_INC     = $archlib/CORE
  PERL_LIB     = $privlib
  PERL_ARCHLIB = $archlib
  INST_LIB     = ./blib
  INST_ARCHLIB = ./blib

If perl has not yet been installed then PERL_SRC can be defined on the
command line as shown in the previous section.

=head2 Useful Default Makefile Macros

FULLEXT = Pathname for extension directory (eg DBD/Oracle).

BASEEXT = Basename part of FULLEXT. May be just equal FULLEXT.

ROOTEXT = Directory part of FULLEXT with leading slash (eg /DBD)

PERL_LIB = Directory where we read the perl library files

PERL_ARCHLIB = Same as above for architecture dependent files

INST_LIB = Directory where we put library files of this extension
while building it. If we are building below PERL_SRC/ext
we default to PERL_SRC/lib, else we default to ./blib.

INST_ARCHLIB = Same as above for architecture dependent files

INST_LIBDIR = C<$(INST_LIB)$(ROOTEXT)>

INST_AUTODIR = C<$(INST_LIB)/auto/$(FULLEXT)>

INST_ARCHAUTODIR = C<$(INST_ARCHLIB)/auto/$(FULLEXT)>

=head2 Customizing The Generated Makefile

If the Makefile generated does not fit your purpose you can change it
using the mechanisms described below.

=head2 Using Attributes (and Parameters)

The following attributes can be specified as arguments to WriteMakefile()
or as NAME=VALUE pairs on the command line:

This description is not yet documented; you can get at the description
with the command

C<perl Makefile.PL help>    (if you already have a basic Makefile.PL)

or

C<perl -e 'use ExtUtils::MakeMaker qw(&help); &help;'>

=head2 Overriding MakeMaker Methods

If you cannot achieve the desired Makefile behaviour by specifying
attributes you may define private subroutines in the Makefile.PL.
Each subroutines returns the text it wishes to have written to
the Makefile. To override a section of the Makefile you can
either say:

	sub MY::c_o { "new literal text" }

or you can edit the default by saying something like:

	sub MY::c_o { $_=MM->c_o; s/old text/new text/; $_ }

If you still need a different solution, try to develop another
subroutine, that fits your needs and submit the diffs to
F<perl5-porters@nicoh.com> or F<comp.lang.perl> as appropriate.

$Attrib_Help = <<'END';
 NAME:		Perl module name for this extension (DBD::Oracle)
		This will default to the directory name but should
		be explicitly defined in the Makefile.PL.

 DISTNAME:	Your name for distributing the package (by tar file)
		This defaults to NAME above.

 VERSION:	Your version number for distributing the package.
		This defaults to 0.1.

 INST_LIB:	Perl library directory to install the module into.
 INST_ARCHLIB:	Perl architecture-dependent library to install into
		(defaults to INST_LIB)

 PERL_LIB:	Directory containing the Perl library to use.
 PERL_SRC:	Directory containing the Perl source code
		(use of this should be avoided, it may be undefined)

 INC:		Include file dirs eg: '-I/usr/5include -I/path/to/inc'
 DEFINE:	something like "-DHAVE_UNISTD_H"
 OBJECT:	List of object files, defaults to '$(BASEEXT).o',
		but can be a long string containing all object files,
		    e.g. "tkpBind.o tkpButton.o tkpCanvas.o"
 MYEXTLIB:	If the extension links to a library that it builds
		set this to the name of the library (see SDBM_File)

 LIBS:		An anonymous array of alternative library specifications
		to be searched for (in order) until at least one library
		is found.
		  'LIBS' => [ "-lgdbm", "-ldbm -lfoo", "-L/path -ldbm.nfs" ]
		Mind, that any element of the array contains a complete
		set of arguments for the ld command. So do not specify
		  'LIBS' => ["-ltcl", "-ltk", "-lX11" ], #wrong
		See ODBM_File/Makefile.PL for an example, where an
		array is needed. If you specify a scalar as in
		  'LIBS' => "-ltcl -ltk -lX11"
		MakeMaker will turn it into an array with one element.

 LDFROM:	defaults to "$(OBJECT)" and is used in the ld command
		to specify what files to link/load from
		(also see dynamic_lib below for how to specify ld flags)

 DIR:		Ref to array of subdirectories containing Makefile.PLs
		e.g. [ 'sdbm' ] in ext/SDBM_File

 PMLIBDIRS:	Ref to array of subdirectories containing library files.
		Defaults to [ 'lib', $(BASEEXT) ]. The directories will
		be scanned and any files they contain will
		be installed in the corresponding location in the library.
		A MY::libscan() function can be used to alter the behaviour.
		Defining PM in the Makefile.PL will override PMLIBDIRS.

 PM:		Hashref of .pm files and *.pl files to be installed.
		e.g. { 'name_of_file.pm' => '$(INST_LIBDIR)/install_as.pm' }
		By default this will include *.pm and *.pl. If a lib directory
		exists and is not listed in DIR (above) then any *.pm and
		*.pl files it contains will also be included by default.
		Defining PM in the Makefile.PL will override PMLIBDIRS.

 XS:		Hashref of .xs files. MakeMaker will default this.
		e.g. { 'name_of_file.xs' => 'name_of_file.c' }
		The .c files will automatically be included in the list
		of files deleted by a make clean.

 C:		Ref to array of *.c file names. Initialised from a directory scan
		and the values portion of the XS attribute hash. This is not
		currently used by MakeMaker but may be handy in Makefile.PLs.

 H:		Ref to array of *.h file names. Similar to C: above.

 EXE_FILES:	Ref to array of executable files. The files will be copied to 
		the INST_EXE directory. The installed files will be deleted 
		by a make realclean.

 INST_EXE:	Directory, where executable scripts should be installed. Defaults
		to "./blib", just to have a dummy location during testing.
		C<make install> will set INST_EXE to $Config{'installbin'}.

 LINKTYPE:	=>'static' or 'dynamic' (default unless usedl=undef in config.sh)
		Should only be used to force static linking (also see linkext below).

 DL_FUNCS:	Hashref of symbol names for routines to be made available as
		universal symbols.  Each key/value pair consists of the package
		name and an array of routine names in that package.  Used only
		under AIX (export lists) and VMS (linker options) at present.
		The routine names supplied will be expanded in the same way
		as XSUB names are expanded by the XS() macro.
		Defaults to { "$(NAME)" => [ "boot_$(NAME)" ] }.
		(e.g. { "RPC" => [qw( boot_rpcb rpcb_gettime getnetconfigent )],
		        "NetconfigPtr" => [ 'DESTROY'] } )

 DL_VARS:	Array of symbol names for variables to be made available as
		universal symbols.  Used only under AIX (export lists) and VMS
		(linker options) at present.  Defaults to [].
		(e.g. [ qw( Foo_version Foo_numstreams Foo_tree ) ])

 CONFIG:	=>[qw(archname manext)] defines ARCHNAME & MANEXT from config.sh
 SKIP:  	=>[qw(name1 name2)] skip (do not write) sections of the Makefile

 MAP_TARGET:	If it is intended, that a new perl binary be produced, this variable
		may hold a name for that binary. Defaults to C<perl>

 LIBPERL_A: 	The filename of the perllibrary that will be used together
		with this extension. Defaults to C<libperl.a>.

 PERL:
 FULLPERL:

Additional lowercase attributes can be used to pass parameters to the
methods which implement that part of the Makefile. These are not
normally required:

 installpm:	{SPLITLIB => '$(INST_LIB)' (default) or '$(INST_ARCHLIB)'}
 linkext:	{LINKTYPE => 'static', 'dynamic' or ''}
 dynamic_lib:	{ARMAYBE => 'ar', OTHERLDFLAGS => '...'}
 clean:		{FILES => "*.xyz foo"}
 realclean:	{FILES => '$(INST_ARCHAUTODIR)/*.xyz'}
 distclean:	{TARNAME=>'MyTarFile', TARFLAGS=>'cvfF', COMPRESS=>'gzip'}
 tool_autosplit:	{MAXLEN => 8}

# --- Write a DynaLoader bootstrap file if required

sub mkbootstrap {

=head1 USEFUL SUBROUTINES

=head2 mkbootstrap()

Make a bootstrap file for use by this system's DynaLoader.  It
typically gets called from an extension Makefile.

There is no C<*.bs> file supplied with the extension. Instead a
C<*_BS> file which has code for the special cases, like posix for
berkeley db on the NeXT.

This file will get parsed, and produce a maybe empty
C<@DynaLoader::dl_resolve_using> array for the current architecture.
That will be extended by $BSLOADLIBS, which was computed by Andy's
extliblist script. If this array still is empty, we do nothing, else
we write a .bs file with an C<@DynaLoader::dl_resolve_using> array, but
without any C<if>s, because there is no longer a need to deal with
special cases.

The C<*_BS> file can put some code into the generated C<*.bs> file by placing
it in C<$bscode>. This is a handy 'escape' mechanism that may prove
useful in complex situations.

If @DynaLoader::dl_resolve_using contains C<-L*> or C<-l*> entries then
mkbootstrap will automatically add a dl_findfile() call to the
generated C<*.bs> file.

v4.061 February 12th 1995 By Andreas Koenig

Fixes of some my() declarations and of @extra computing in makeaperl().

v4.08 - 4.085  February 14th-21st 1995 by Andreas Koenig

Introduces EXE_FILES and INST_EXE for installing executable scripts 
and fixes documentation to reflect the new variable.

Introduces the automated documentation of the installation history. Every
  make install
and
  make inst_perl
add some documentation to the file C<$installarchlib/perllocal.pod>.
This is done by the writedoc() routine in the MM_Unix class. The
documentation is rudimentary until we find an agreement, what 
information is supposed to go into the pod.

Added ability to specify the another name than C<perl> for a new binary.

Both C<make perl> and C<makeaperl> now prompt the user, how to install
the new binary after the build.

Reduced noise during the make.

Variable LIBPERL_A enables indirect setting of the switches -DEMBED,
-DDEBUGGING and -DMULTIPLICITY in the same way as done by cflags.

old_extliblist() code deleted, new_extliblist() renamed to extliblist().

Improved algorithm in extliblist, that returns ('','','') if no
library has been found, even if a -L directory has been found.

Fixed a bug that didn't allow lib/ directory work as documented.

Allowed C<make test TEST_VERBOSE=1>

v4.086 March 9 1995 by Andy Dougherty

Fixed some AIX buglets.  Fixed DLD support for Linux with gcc 2.6.2.

=head1 NOTES

MakeMaker development work still to be done:

Needs more complete documentation.

Add a html: target when there has been found a general solution to
installing html files.
