NAME

6       ExtUtils::Mkbootstrap - make a bootstrap file for use by DynaLoader
7

SYNOPSIS

9         Mkbootstrap
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Mkbootstrap typically gets called from an extension Makefile.
13
14       There is no "*.bs" file supplied with the extension. Instead, there may
15       be a *_BS file which has code for the special cases, like posix for
16       berkeley db on the NeXT.
17
18       This file will get parsed, and produce a maybe empty
19       @DynaLoader::dl_resolve_using array for the current architecture.  That
20       will be extended by $BSLOADLIBS, which was computed by
21       ExtUtils::Liblist::ext(). If this array still is empty, we do nothing,
22       else we write a .bs file with an @DynaLoader::dl_resolve_using array.
23
24       The *_BS file can put some code into the generated "*.bs" file by
25       placing it in $bscode. This is a handy 'escape' mechanism that may
26       prove useful in complex situations.
27
28       If @DynaLoader::dl_resolve_using contains "-L*" or "-l*" entries then
29       Mkbootstrap will automatically add a dl_findfile() call to the
30       generated "*.bs" file.
