9 "Mkbootstrap"
10
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 ExtUtils::Lib‐
21 list::ext(). If this array still is empty, we do nothing, else we write
22 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 plac‐
25 ing it in $bscode. This is a handy 'escape' mechanism that may prove
26 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 gener‐
30 ated "*.bs" file.
