339 | |
340 | F<staticperl mkbundle> has a number of options to control package |
340 | F<staticperl mkbundle> works by first assembling a list of candidate |
341 | selection. This section describes how they interact with each other. Also, |
341 | files and modules to include, then filtering them by include/exclude |
342 | since I am still a newbie w.r.t. these issues, maybe future versions of |
342 | patterns. The remaining modules (together with their direct depdendencies, |
343 | F<staticperl> will change this, so watch out :) |
343 | such as link libraries and AutoLoader files) are then converted into |
|
|
344 | bundle files suitable for embedding. Afterwards, F<staticperl mkbundle> |
|
|
345 | can optionally build a new perl interpreter or a standalone application. |
344 | |
346 | |
345 | The idiom "in order" means "in order that they are specified on the |
|
|
346 | commandline". If you use a bundle specification file, then the options |
|
|
347 | will be processed as if they were given in place of the bundle file name. |

|
|
371 | |
|
|
372 | In this step, modules, perl libraries (F<.pl> files) and other files are |
|
|
373 | selected for inclusion in the bundle. The relevant options are executed |
|
|
374 | in order (this makes a difference mostly for C<--eval>, which can rely on |
|
|
375 | earlier C<--use> options to have been executed). |

379 | =item C<--use> F<module> | C<-M>F<module> |
|
|
380 | |
|
|
381 | Include the named module and trace direct dependencies. This is done by |
|
|
382 | C<require>'ing the module in a subprocess and tracing which other modules |
|
|
383 | and files it actually loads. |
|
|
384 | |
|
|
385 | Example: include AnyEvent and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl. |
|
|
386 | |
|
|
387 | staticperl mkbundle --use AnyEvent --use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl |
|
|
388 | |
|
|
389 | Sometimes you want to load old-style "perl libraries" (F<.pl> files), or |
|
|
390 | maybe other weirdly named files. To do that, you need to quote the name in |
|
|
391 | single or double quotes. When given on the command line, you probably need |
|
|
392 | to quote once more to avoid your shell interpreting it. Common cases that |
|
|
393 | need this are F<Config_heavy.pl> and F<utf8_heavy.pl>. |
|
|
394 | |
|
|
395 | Example: include the required files for F<perl -V> to work in all its |
|
|
396 | glory (F<Config.pm> is included automatically by this). |
|
|
397 | |
|
|
398 | # bourne shell |
|
|
399 | staticperl mkbundle --use '"Config_heavy.pl"' |
|
|
400 | |
|
|
401 | # bundle specification file |
|
|
402 | use "Config_heavy.pl" |
|
|
403 | |
|
|
404 | The C<-M>module syntax is included as an alias that might be easier to |
|
|
405 | remember than C<--use>. Or maybe it confuses people. Time will tell. Or |
|
|
406 | maybe not. Sigh. |
|
|
407 | |
|
|
408 | =item C<--eval> "perl code" | C<-e> "perl code" |
|
|
409 | |
|
|
410 | Sometimes it is easier (or necessary) to specify dependencies using perl |
|
|
411 | code, or maybe one of the modules you use need a special use statement. In |
|
|
412 | that case, you can use C<--eval> to execute some perl snippet or set some |
|
|
413 | variables or whatever you need. All files C<require>'d or C<use>'d while |
|
|
414 | executing the snippet are included in the final bundle. |
|
|
415 | |
|
|
416 | Keep in mind that F<mkbundle> will only C<require> the modules named |
|
|
417 | by the C<--use> option, so do not expect the symbols from modules you |
|
|
418 | C<--use>'d earlier on the command line to be available. |
|
|
419 | |
|
|
420 | Example: force L<AnyEvent> to detect a backend and therefore include it |
|
|
421 | in the final bundle. |
|
|
422 | |
|
|
423 | staticperl mkbundle --eval 'use AnyEvent; AnyEvent::detect' |
|
|
424 | |
|
|
425 | # or like this |
|
|
426 | staticperl mkbundle -MAnyEvent --eval 'AnyEvent::detect' |
|
|
427 | |
|
|
428 | Example: use a separate "bootstrap" script that C<use>'s lots of modules |
|
|
429 | and also include this in the final bundle, to be executed automatically |
|
|
430 | when the interpreter is initialised. |
|
|
431 | |
|
|
432 | staticperl mkbundle --eval 'do "bootstrap"' --boot bootstrap |
|
|
433 | |
|
|
434 | =item C<--boot> F<filename> |
|
|
435 | |
|
|
436 | Include the given file in the bundle and arrange for it to be |
|
|
437 | executed (using C<require>) before the main program when the new perl |
|
|
438 | is initialised. This can be used to modify C<@INC> or do similar |
|
|
439 | modifications before the perl interpreter executes scripts given on the |
|
|
440 | command line (or via C<-e>). This works even in an embedded interpreter - |
|
|
441 | the file will be executed during interpreter initialisation in that case. |
|
|
442 | |
|
|
443 | =item C<--incglob> pattern |
|
|
444 | |
|
|
445 | This goes through all standard library directories and tries to match any |
|
|
446 | F<.pm> and F<.pl> files against the extended glob pattern (see below). If |
|
|
447 | a file matches, it is added. The pattern is matched against the full path |
|
|
448 | of the file (sans the library directory prefix), e.g. F<Sys/Syslog.pm>. |
|
|
449 | |
|
|
450 | This is very useful to include "everything": |
|
|
451 | |
|
|
452 | --incglob '*' |
|
|
453 | |
|
|
454 | It is also useful for including perl libraries, or trees of those, such as |
|
|
455 | the unicode database files needed by some perl builtins, the regex engine |
|
|
456 | and other modules. |
|
|
457 | |
|
|
458 | --incglob '/unicore/**.pl' |
|
|
459 | |
|
|
460 | =item C<--add> F<file> | C<--add> "F<file> alias" |
|
|
461 | |
|
|
462 | Adds the given (perl) file into the bundle (and optionally call it |
|
|
463 | "alias"). The F<file> is either an absolute path or a path relative to |
|
|
464 | the current directory. If an alias is specified, then this is the name it |
|
|
465 | will use for C<@INC> searches, otherfile the F<file> will be used as the |
|
|
466 | internal name. |
|
|
467 | |
|
|
468 | This switch is used to include extra files into the bundle. |
|
|
469 | |
|
|
470 | Example: embed the file F<httpd> in the current directory as F<httpd.pm> |
|
|
471 | when creating the bundle. |
|
|
472 | |
|
|
473 | staticperl mkperl --add "httpd httpd.pm" |
|
|
474 | |
|
|
475 | Example: add local files as extra modules in the bundle. |
|
|
476 | |
|
|
477 | # specification file |
|
|
478 | add file1 myfiles/file1.pm |
|
|
479 | add file2 myfiles/file2.pm |
|
|
480 | add file3 myfiles/file3.pl |
|
|
481 | |
|
|
482 | # then later, in perl, use |
|
|
483 | use myfiles::file1; |
|
|
484 | require myfiles::file2; |
|
|
485 | my $res = do "myfiles/file3.pl"; |
|
|
486 | |
|
|
487 | =item C<--binadd> F<file> | C<--add> "F<file> alias" |
|
|
488 | |
|
|
489 | Just like C<--add>, except that it treats the file as binary and adds it |
|
|
490 | without any postprocessing (perl files might get stripped to reduce their |
|
|
491 | size). |
|
|
492 | |
|
|
493 | You should probably add a C</> prefix to avoid clashing with embedded perl |
|
|
494 | files (whose paths do not start with C</>), and/or use a special directory |
|
|
495 | prefix, such as C</res/name>. |
|
|
496 | |
|
|
497 | You can later get a copy of these files by calling C<staticperl::find |
|
|
498 | "alias">. |
|
|
499 | |
|
|
500 | An alternative way to embed binary files is to convert them to perl and |
|
|
501 | use C<do> to get the contents - this method is a bit cumbersome, but works |
|
|
502 | both inside and outside of a staticperl bundle: |
|
|
503 | |
|
|
504 | # a "binary" file, call it "bindata.pl" |
|
|
505 | <<'SOME_MARKER' |
|
|
506 | binary data NOT containing SOME_MARKER |
|
|
507 | SOME_MARKER |
|
|
508 | |
|
|
509 | # load the binary |
|
|
510 | chomp (my $data = do "bindata.pl"); |
|

|
512 | =back |
|
|
513 | |
|
|
514 | =item Step 2: filter all files using C<--include> and C<--exclude> options. |
|
|
515 | |
|
|
516 | After all candidate files and modules are added, they are I<filtered> |
|
|
517 | by a combination of C<--include> and C<--exclude> patterns (there is an |
|
|
518 | implicit C<--include **> at the end, so if no filters are specified, all |
|
|
519 | files are included). |
|
|
520 | |
|
|
521 | All that this step does is potentially reduce the number of files that are |
|
|
522 | to be included - no new files are added during this step. |

|
|
526 | =item C<--include> pattern | C<-i> pattern | C<--exclude> pattern | C<-x> pattern |
|
|
527 | |
|
|
528 | These specify an include or exclude pattern to be applied to the candidate |
|
|
529 | file list. An include makes sure that the given files will be part of the |
|
|
530 | resulting file set, an exclude will exclude remaining files. The patterns |
|
|
531 | are "extended glob patterns" (see below). |
|
|
532 | |
|
|
533 | The patterns are applied "in order" - files included via earlier |
|
|
534 | C<--include> specifications cannot be removed by any following |
|
|
535 | C<--exclude>, and likewise, and file excluded by an earlier C<--exclude> |
|
|
536 | cannot be added by any following C<--include>. |
|
|
537 | |
|
|
538 | For example, to include everything except C<Devel> modules, but still |
|
|
539 | include F<Devel::PPPort>, you could use this: |
|
|
540 | |
|
|
541 | --incglob '*' -i '/Devel/PPPort.pm' -x '/Devel/**' |

|
|
545 | =item Step 3: add any extra or "hidden" dependencies. |
|
|
546 | |
|
|
547 | F<staticperl> currently knows about three extra types of depdendencies |
|
|
548 | that are added automatically. Only one (F<.packlist> files) is currently |
|
|
549 | optional and can be influenced, the others are always included: |

|

551 | =over 4 |
|

553 | =item C<--usepacklist> |
|
|
554 | |
|
|
555 | Read F<.packlist> files for each distribution that happens to match a |
|
|
556 | module name you specified. Sounds weird, and it is, so expect semantics to |
|
|
557 | change somehow in the future. |
|
|
558 | |
|
|
559 | The idea is that most CPAN distributions have a F<.pm> file that matches |
|
|
560 | the name of the distribution (which is rather reasonable after all). |
|
|
561 | |
|
|
562 | If this switch is enabled, then if any of the F<.pm> files that have been |
|
|
563 | selected match an install distribution, then all F<.pm>, F<.pl>, F<.al> |
|
|
564 | and F<.ix> files installed by this distribution are also included. |
|
|
565 | |
|
|
566 | For example, using this switch, when the L<URI> module is specified, then |
|
|
567 | all L<URI> submodules that have been installed via the CPAN distribution |
|
|
568 | are included as well, so you don't have to manually specify them. |
|
|
569 | |
|
|
570 | =item L<AutoLoader> splitfiles |
|
|
571 | |
|
|
572 | Some modules use L<AutoLoader> - less commonly (hopefully) used functions |
|
|
573 | are split into separate F<.al> files, and an index (F<.ix>) file contains |
|
|
574 | the prototypes. |
|
|
575 | |
|
|
576 | Both F<.ix> and F<.al> files will be detected automatically and added to |
|
|
577 | the bundle. |

|
579 | =item link libraries (F<.a> files) |
|
|
580 | |
|
|
581 | Modules using XS (or any other non-perl language extension compiled at |
|
|
582 | installation time) will have a static archive (typically F<.a>). These |
|
|
583 | will automatically be added to the linker options in F<bundle.ldopts>. |
|
|
584 | |
|
|
585 | Should F<staticperl> find a dynamic link library (typically F<.so>) it |
|
|
586 | will warn about it - obviously this shouldn't happen unless you use |
|
|
587 | F<staticperl> on the wrong perl, or one (probably wrongly) configured to |
|
|
588 | use dynamic loading. |

|
|
590 | =item extra libraries (F<extralibs.ld>) |

|
591 | |

442 | |
668 | |
443 | =item --use module | -Mmodule |
|
|
444 | |
|
|
445 | Include the named module and all direct dependencies. This is done by |
|
|
446 | C<require>'ing the module in a subprocess and tracing which other modules |
|
|
447 | and files it actually loads. If the module uses L<AutoLoader>, then all |
|
|
448 | splitfiles will be included as well. |
|
|
449 | |
|
|
450 | Example: include AnyEvent and AnyEvent::Impl::Perl. |
|
|
451 | |
|
|
452 | staticperl mkbundle --use AnyEvent --use AnyEvent::Impl::Perl |
|
|
453 | |
|
|
454 | Sometimes you want to load old-style "perl libraries" (F<.pl> files), or |
|
|
455 | maybe other weirdly named files. To do that, you need to quote the name in |
|
|
456 | single or double quotes. When given on the command line, you probably need |
|
|
457 | to quote once more to avoid your shell interpreting it. Common cases that |
|
|
458 | need this are F<Config_heavy.pl> and F<utf8_heavy.pl>. |
|
|
459 | |
|
|
460 | Example: include the required files for F<perl -V> to work in all its |
|
|
461 | glory (F<Config.pm> is included automatically by this). |
|
|
462 | |
|
|
463 | # bourne shell |
|
|
464 | staticperl mkbundle --use '"Config_heavy.pl"' |
|
|
465 | |
|
|
466 | # bundle specification file |
|
|
467 | use "Config_heavy.pl" |
|
|
468 | |
|
|
469 | The C<-Mmodule> syntax is included as an alias that might be easier to |
|
|
470 | remember than C<use>. Or maybe it confuses people. Time will tell. Or |
|
|
471 | maybe not. Argh. |
|
|
472 | |
|
|
473 | =item --eval "perl code" | -e "perl code" |
|
|
474 | |
|
|
475 | Sometimes it is easier (or necessary) to specify dependencies using perl |
|
|
476 | code, or maybe one of the modules you use need a special use statement. In |
|
|
477 | that case, you can use C<eval> to execute some perl snippet or set some |
|
|
478 | variables or whatever you need. All files C<require>'d or C<use>'d in the |
|
|
479 | script are included in the final bundle. |
|
|
480 | |
|
|
481 | Keep in mind that F<mkbundle> will only C<require> the modules named |
|
|
482 | by the C<--use> option, so do not expect the symbols from modules you |
|
|
483 | C<--use>'d earlier on the command line to be available. |
|
|
484 | |
|
|
485 | Example: force L<AnyEvent> to detect a backend and therefore include it |
|
|
486 | in the final bundle. |
|
|
487 | |
|
|
488 | staticperl mkbundle --eval 'use AnyEvent; AnyEvent::detect' |
|
|
489 | |
|
|
490 | # or like this |
|
|
491 | staticperl mkbundle -MAnyEvent --eval 'use AnyEvent; AnyEvent::detect' |
|
|
492 | |
|
|
493 | Example: use a separate "bootstrap" script that C<use>'s lots of modules |
|
|
494 | and include this in the final bundle, to be executed automatically. |
|
|
495 | |
|
|
496 | staticperl mkbundle --eval 'do "bootstrap"' --boot bootstrap |
|
|
497 | |
|
|
498 | =item --boot filename |
|
|
499 | |
|
|
500 | Include the given file in the bundle and arrange for it to be executed |
|
|
501 | (using a C<require>) before anything else when the new perl is |
|
|
502 | initialised. This can be used to modify C<@INC> or anything else before |
|
|
503 | the perl interpreter executes scripts given on the command line (or via |
|
|
504 | C<-e>). This works even in an embedded interpreter. |
|
|
505 | |
|
|
506 | =item --usepacklist |
|
|
507 | |
|
|
508 | Read F<.packlist> files for each distribution that happens to match a |
|
|
509 | module name you specified. Sounds weird, and it is, so expect semantics to |
|
|
510 | change somehow in the future. |
|
|
511 | |
|
|
512 | The idea is that most CPAN distributions have a F<.pm> file that matches |
|
|
513 | the name of the distribution (which is rather reasonable after all). |
|
|
514 | |
|
|
515 | If this switch is enabled, then if any of the F<.pm> files that have been |
|
|
516 | selected match an install distribution, then all F<.pm>, F<.pl>, F<.al> |
|
|
517 | and F<.ix> files installed by this distribution are also included. |
|
|
518 | |
|
|
519 | For example, using this switch, when the L<URI> module is specified, then |
|
|
520 | all L<URI> submodules that have been installed via the CPAN distribution |
|
|
521 | are included as well, so you don't have to manually specify them. |
|
|
522 | |
|
|
523 | =item --incglob pattern |
|
|
524 | |
|
|
525 | This goes through all library directories and tries to match any F<.pm> |
|
|
526 | and F<.pl> files against the extended glob pattern (see below). If a file |
|
|
527 | matches, it is added. This switch will automatically detect L<AutoLoader> |
|
|
528 | files and the required link libraries for XS modules, but it will I<not> |
|
|
529 | scan the file for dependencies (at the moment). |
|
|
530 | |
|
|
531 | This is mainly useful to include "everything": |
|
|
532 | |
|
|
533 | --incglob '*' |
|
|
534 | |
|
|
535 | Or to include perl libraries, or trees of those, such as the unicode |
|
|
536 | database files needed by many other modules: |
|
|
537 | |
|
|
538 | --incglob '/unicore/**.pl' |
|
|
539 | |
|
|
540 | =item --add file | --add "file alias" |
|
|
541 | |
|
|
542 | Adds the given (perl) file into the bundle (and optionally call it |
|
|
543 | "alias"). This is useful to include any custom files into the bundle. |
|
|
544 | |
|
|
545 | Example: embed the file F<httpd> as F<httpd.pm> when creating the bundle. |
|
|
546 | |
|
|
547 | staticperl mkperl --add "httpd httpd.pm" |
|
|
548 | |
|
|
549 | It is also a great way to add any custom modules: |
|
|
550 | |
|
|
551 | # specification file |
|
|
552 | add file1 myfiles/file1 |
|
|
553 | add file2 myfiles/file2 |
|
|
554 | add file3 myfiles/file3 |
|
|
555 | |
|
|
556 | =item --binadd file | --add "file alias" |
|
|
557 | |
|
|
558 | Just like C<--add>, except that it treats the file as binary and adds it |
|
|
559 | without any processing. |
|
|
560 | |
|
|
561 | You should probably add a C</> prefix to avoid clashing with embedded |
|
|
562 | perl files (whose paths do not start with C</>), and/or use a special |
|
|
563 | directory, such as C</res/name>. |
|
|
564 | |
|
|
565 | You can later get a copy of these files by calling C<staticperl::find |
|
|
566 | "alias">. |
|
|
567 | |
|
|
568 | =item --include pattern | -i pattern | --exclude pattern | -x pattern |
|
|
569 | |
|
|
570 | These two options define an include/exclude filter that is used after all |
|
|
571 | files selected by the other options have been found. Each include/exclude |
|
|
572 | is applied to all files found so far - an include makes sure that the |
|
|
573 | given files will be part of the resulting file set, an exclude will |
|
|
574 | exclude files. The patterns are "extended glob patterns" (see below). |
|
|
575 | |
|
|
576 | For example, to include everything, except C<Devel> modules, but still |
|
|
577 | include F<Devel::PPPort>, you could use this: |
|
|
578 | |
|
|
579 | --incglob '*' -i '/Devel/PPPort.pm' -x '/Devel/**' |
|
|
580 | |
|
|
581 | =item --static |
669 | =item --static |
582 | |
670 | |
583 | When C<--perl> is also given, link statically instead of dynamically. The |
671 | Add C<-static> to F<bundle.ldopts>, which means a fully static (if |
|
|
672 | supported by the OS) executable will be created. This is not immensely |
|
|
673 | useful when just creating the bundle files, but is most useful when |
|
|
674 | linking a binary with the C<--perl> or C<--app> options. |
|
|
675 | |
584 | default is to link the new perl interpreter fully dynamic (that means all |
