cc_available¶

Returns true if a C compiler is available. YOU DO NOT NEED TO CALL THIS FUNCTION YOURSELF: it will be called for you when this module is initialized, and your Makefile.PL process will exit with 0 status. Only explicitly call if you need to do some esoteric handling when no compiler is available (for example, when you have a pure perl alternative)

c99_available¶

Returns true if a C compiler is available and it supports C99 features.

want_xs ?$default¶

Returns true if the user asked for the XS version or pure perl version of the module.

Will return true if "--xs" is explicitly specified as the argument to Makefile.PL, and false if "--pp" is specified. If neither is explicitly specified, will return the value specified by $default. If you do not specify the value of $default, then it will be true.

use_ppport ?$version¶

Creates ppport.h using "Devel::PPPort::WriteFile()".

This command calls "configure_requires 'Devel::PPPort' => $version" and adds "-DUSE_PPPORT" to "MakeMaker"'s "DEFINE".

use_xshelper ?-clean|-realclean¶

Create sxshelper.h, which is a helper header file to include EXTERN.h, perl.h, XSUB.h and ppport.h, and defines some portability stuff which are not supported by ppport.h.

Optional argument "-clean" and "-realclean" set "clean_files" or "realclean_files" to the generated file xshelper.h respectably.

This command includes "use_ppport".

cc_warnings¶

Enables C compiler warnings.

cc_define @macros¶

Sets "cpp" macros as compiler options.

cc_src_paths @source_paths¶

Sets source file directories which include *.xs or *.c.

cc_include_paths @include_paths¶

Sets include paths for a C compiler.

cc_inc_paths @include_paths;¶

This was an alias to "cc_include_paths", but from 0.42, this is "Module::Install::Compiler::cc_inc_paths", which replaces the EUMM's "INC" parameter.

Don't use this function. Use "cc_include_paths" instead.

cc_libs @libs¶

Sets "MakeMaker"'s "LIBS". If a name starts "-", it will be interpreted as is. Otherwise prefixed "-l".

e.g.:

    cc_libs -lfoo;
    cc_libs  'foo'; # ditto.
    cc_libs qw(-L/path/to/libs foo bar); # with library paths

cc_assert_lib %args¶

Checks if the given C library is installed via Devel::CheckLib. Takes exactly what Devel::CheckLib takes. Note that you must pass the path names explicitly.

requires_c99¶

Tells the build system to use C99 features.

requires_cplusplus¶

Tells the build system to use C++ language.

install_headers ?@header_files¶

Declares providing header files, extracts functions from these header files, and adds these functions to "MakeMaker"'s "FUNCLIST".

If @header_files are omitted, all the header files in include paths will be installed.

cc_append_to_inc @include_paths¶

Low level API.

cc_append_to_libs @libraries¶

Low level API.

cc_append_to_ccflags @ccflags¶

Low level API.

cc_append_to_funclist @funclist¶

Low level API.
