given here, they MUST be as an array of the
string such as "MACRO=value", or just
"MACRO" for definitions without value.
- debug_cflags => Extra compilation flags used when making a
- debug build (when Configure receives the
- --debug option). Typically something like
- "-g -O0".
- debug_defines => Similarly to `debug_cflags', this gets
- combined with `defines' during a debug
- build. The value here MUST also be an
- array of the same form as for `defines'.
- release_cflags => Extra compilation flags used when making a
- release build (when Configure receives the
- --release option, or doesn't receive the
- --debug option). Typically something like
- "-O" or "-O3".
- release_defines => Similarly to `release_cflags', this gets
- combined with `defines' during a release
- build. The value here MUST also be an
- array of the same form as for `defines'.
- thread_cflags => Extra compilation flags used when
- compiling with threading enabled.
- Explained further below. [2]
- thread_defines => Similarly to `thread_cflags', this gets
- combined with `defines' when threading is
- enabled. The value here MUST also be an
- array of the same form as for `defines'.
shared_cflag => Extra compilation flags used when
compiling for shared libraries, typically
something like "-fPIC".
ex_libs => Extra libraries that are needed when
linking.
- debug_lflags => Like debug_cflags, but used when linking.
- release_lflags => Like release_cflags, but used when linking.
-
ar => The library archive command, the default is
"ar".

dso_scheme => The type of dynamic shared objects to build

engines, but can be used for other purposes
'inherit_from' that indicate what other configurations to inherit
data from. These are resolved recursively.

flags to Configure.
Together with the use of Text::Template, this can be used as

- IF[{- $config{no_shared} -}]

perl functions in a perl code fragment enclosed with "{-" and "-}".
They are all expected to return a string with the lines they produce.
- src2dep - function that produces build file lines to get the
- dependencies for an object file into a dependency
- file.
-
- It's called like this:
-
- src2dep(obj => "PATH/TO/objectfile",
- srcs => [ "PATH/TO/sourcefile", ... ],
- incs => [ "INCL/PATH", ... ]);
-
- 'obj' has the dependent object file as well as
- object file the dependencies are for; it's *without*
- extension, src2dep() is expected to add that.
- 'srcs' has the list of source files to build the
- object file, with the first item being the source
- file that directly corresponds to the object file.
- 'incs' is a list of include file directories.
-
src2obj - function that produces build file lines to build an
object file from source files and associated data.
src2obj(obj => "PATH/TO/objectfile",
srcs => [ "PATH/TO/sourcefile", ... ],
deps => [ "dep1", ... ],
- incs => [ "INCL/PATH", ... ]);
+ incs => [ "INCL/PATH", ... ]
+ intent => one of "lib", "dso", "bin" );
'obj' has the intended object file *without*
extension, src2obj() is expected to add that.
'srcs' has the list of source files to build the
object file, with the first item being the source
file that directly corresponds to the object file.
- 'deps' is a list of dependencies. 'incs' is a list
- of include file directories.
+ 'deps' is a list of explicit dependencies. 'incs'
+ is a list of include file directories. Finally,
+ 'intent' indicates what this object file is going
+ to be used for.
obj2lib - function that produces build file lines to build a
static library file ("libfoo.a" in Unix terms) from
'lib' has the intended library file name *without*
extension, libobj2shlib is expected to add that.
- 'shlib' has the correcponding shared library name
+ 'shlib' has the corresponding shared library name
*without* extension. 'deps' has the list of other
libraries (also *without* extension) this library
needs to be linked with. 'objs' has the list of
corresponding static library as input to make the
shared library, or the list of object files.
- obj2dynlib - function that produces build file lines to build a
- dynamically loadable library file ("libfoo.so" on
- Unix) from object files.
+ obj2dso - function that produces build file lines to build a
+ dynamic shared object file from object files.
called like this:
- obj2dynlib(lib => "PATH/TO/libfile",
- objs => [ "PATH/TO/objectfile", ... ],
- deps => [ "PATH/TO/otherlibfile",
- ... ]);
+ obj2dso(lib => "PATH/TO/libfile",
+ objs => [ "PATH/TO/objectfile", ... ],
+ deps => [ "PATH/TO/otherlibfile",
+ ... ]);
This is almost the same as libobj2shlib, but the
intent is to build a shareable library that can be
directory.
Make sure to end the section with these functions with a string that
-you thing is apropriate for the resulting build file. If nothing
+you thing is appropriate for the resulting build file. If nothing
else, end it like this:
""; # Make sure no lingering values end up in the Makefile
