Provides methods for MakeMaker to handle portability issues. You
never need to require this module, but you might want to
if you are working on improving MakeMaker's portability
Provides methods for both Unix and non-Unix systems; on non-Unix systems, they can be overridden by methods defined in other MM_* modules. The methods are listed here:
ExtUtils::MM_Unix has some additional methods that are called in
sequence to produce a Makefile. The list of methods is specified in the array
@ExtUtils::MakeMaker::MM_Sections, one method per section.
The routines are all called the same way and so are just listed
here. Each method returns the string to be put into its section
of the Makefile.
The methods are called in the order that they are listed in the following table, reading down the columns:
post_initialize | top_targets | realclean |
const_config | linkext | dist_basics |
constants | dlsyms | dist_core |
const_loadlibs | dynamic | dist_dir |
const_cccmd | dynamic_bs | dist_test |
tool_autosplit | dynamic_lib | dist_ci |
tool_xsubpp | static | install |
tools_other | static_lib | force |
dist | installpm | perldepend |
macro | installpm_x | makefile |
depend | manifypods | staticmake |
post_constants | processPL | test |
pasthru | installbin | test_via_harness |
c_o | subdirs | test_via_script |
xs_c | subdir_x | postamble |
xs_o | clean |
Finally, there are two special methods: post_initialize and postamble. They each return
an empty string by default and can be defined in
Makefile.PL to insert customized text near the
beginning or end of the Makefile.
