1.1 |
This is a CPAN distribution of the venerable MakeMaker module. It has been |
| 2 |
|
|
backported to work with Perl 5.005_03 and up. |
| 3 |
|
|
|
| 4 |
|
|
If you do not have a make program, several can be found... |
| 5 |
|
|
|
| 6 |
|
|
Most Unixen: The make utility which comes with your operating system |
| 7 |
|
|
should work fine. If you don't have one, GNU make is recommended, |
| 8 |
|
|
most others (Sun, BSD, etc...) will work fine as well. |
| 9 |
|
|
|
| 10 |
|
|
Windows: nmake or dmake will work. GNU make will *not*. |

| 13 |
|
|
|
| 14 |
|
|
VMS: MMS or the free MadGoat MaKe utility (MMK) will work. |

|
|
|
| 17 |
|
|
If all else fails there is a pure Perl version of make available on |
| 18 |
|
|
CPAN which should work on most Unixen. |

|
PLEASE NOTE: This distribution does not include the xsubpp or typemap |
| 23 |
|
|
programs. They are extremely specific to your version or Perl, so |
| 24 |
|
|
MakeMaker will simply use the one which came with your copy of Perl. |
| 25 |
|
|
Do not delete your old ExtUtils/ directory. An upgraded version of xsubpp |
| 26 |
|
|
can be found in the ExtUtils::ParseXS module. |

Known Good Systems: |
| 29 |
|
|
|
| 30 |
|
|
Every stable MakeMaker release is tested at least on: |
| 31 |
|
|
|
| 32 |
|
|
MacOS X |
| 33 |
|
|
Linux/x86 |
| 34 |
|
|
ActivePerl on Windows 98 |
| 35 |
|
|
Cygwin on Windows 98 |
| 36 |
|
|
OpenVMS |
| 37 |
|
|
|
| 38 |
|
|
Covering the major portability flavors MakeMaker has to cover. |
| 39 |
|
|
(I'm always on the lookout for DJGPP, Solaris, *BSD and OS/2 users) |

Known Problems: |
| 43 |
|
|
|
| 44 |
|
|
(See http://rt.cpan.org for a full list of open problems.) |
| 45 |
|
|
|
| 46 |
|
|
ActivePerl likely broken if installed in C:\Program Files or other |
| 47 |
|
|
prefix with a space in the name. |
| 48 |
|
|
|
| 49 |
|
|
Using the MMS utility on VMS causes lots of extra newlines. Unknown |
| 50 |
|
|
why this is so, might be a bug in MMS. Problem not seen with MMK. |
| 51 |
|
|
|
| 52 |
|
|
MacOS Classic is likely broken. |
