NAME

6       ExtUtils::MM_Win32 - methods to override UN*X behaviour in
7       ExtUtils::MakeMaker

SYNOPSIS

10        use ExtUtils::MM_Win32; # Done internally by ExtUtils::MakeMaker if needed
11

DESCRIPTION

13       See ExtUtils::MM_Unix for a documentation of the methods provided
14       there. This package overrides the implementation of these methods, not
15       the semantics.
16
17   Overridden methods
18       dlsyms
19       xs_dlsyms_ext
20           On Win32, is ".def".
21
22       replace_manpage_separator
23           Changes the path separator with .
24
25       maybe_command
26           Since Windows has nothing as simple as an executable bit, we check
27           the file extension.
28
29           The PATHEXT env variable will be used to get a list of extensions
30           that might indicate a command, otherwise .com, .exe, .bat and .cmd
31           will be used by default.
32
33       init_DIRFILESEP
34           Using \ for Windows, except for "gmake" where it is /.
35
36       init_tools
37           Override some of the slower, portable commands with Windows
38           specific ones.
39
40       init_others
41           Override the default link and compile tools.
42
43           LDLOADLIBS's default is changed to $Config{libs}.
44
45           Adjustments are made for Borland's quirks needing -L to come first.
46
47       init_platform
48           Add MM_Win32_VERSION.
49
50       platform_constants
51       specify_shell
52           Set SHELL to $ENV{COMSPEC} only if make is type 'gmake'.
53
54       constants
55           Add MAXLINELENGTH for dmake before all the constants are output.
56
57       special_targets
58           Add .USESHELL target for dmake.
59
60       static_lib_pure_cmd
61           Defines how to run the archive utility
62
63       dynamic_lib
64           Methods are overridden here: not dynamic_lib itself, but the
65           utility ones that do the OS-specific work.
66
67       extra_clean_files
68           Clean out some extra dll.{base,exp} files which might be generated
69           by gcc.  Otherwise, take out all *.pdb files.
70
71       init_linker
72       perl_script
73           Checks for the perl program under several common perl extensions.
74
75       quote_dep
76       xs_obj_opt
77           Override to fixup -o flags for MSVC.
78
79       pasthru
80           All we send is -nologo to nmake to prevent it from printing its
81           damned banner.
82
83       arch_check (override)
84           Normalize all arguments for consistency of comparison.
85
86       oneliner
87           These are based on what command.com does on Win98.  They may be
88           wrong for other Windows shells, I don't know.
89
90       cd  dmake can handle Unix style cd'ing but nmake (at least 1.5) cannot.
91           It wants:
92
93               cd dir1\dir2
94               command
95               another_command
96               cd ..\..
97
98       max_exec_len
99           nmake 1.50 limits command length to 2048 characters.
100
101       os_flavor
102           Windows is Win32.
103
104       dbgoutflag
105           Returns a CC flag that tells the CC to emit a separate debugging
106           symbol file when compiling an object file.
107
108       cflags
109           Defines the PERLDLL symbol if we are configured for static building
110           since all code destined for the perl5xx.dll must be compiled with
111           the PERLDLL symbol defined.
112
113       make_type
114           Returns a suitable string describing the type of makefile being
115           written.
