ExtUtils::MM_Win32(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation
NAME
ExtUtils::MM_Win32 - methods to override UN*X behaviour in
ExtUtils::MakeMaker
SYNOPSIS
use ExtUtils::MM_Win32; # Done internally by ExtUtils::MakeMaker if needed
DESCRIPTION
See ExtUtils::MM_Unix for a documentation of the methods provided
there. This package overrides the implementation of these methods, not
the semantics.
Overridden methods
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.
extra_clean_files
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.
