Module::Build::Platform::MacOS(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation
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.
