man wml::mod::MakeMaker (Fonctions bibliothèques) - A Makefile generator

NAME

wml::mod::MakeMaker - A Makefile generator

SYNOPSIS

 #!wml -o Makefile
 #use wml::mod::MakeMaker


 <write-makefile [attributes]>

DESCRIPTION

This include file provides an easy way to write a Makefile to distribute your own WML modules. It is inspired by the CWExtUtils::MakeMaker Perl module.

Default targets

make all
This is the default target. It will build all include files and their documentation.
make install
Install include files and documentation in the locations given by ``wml -V2''.
make clean
Remove files generated by make.
make distclean
Like make clean, plus remove the Makefile too.
make dist
Build a distribution. Should only be used by the module maintainer. If there is a MANIFEST file, then the list of files to include is taken from this file. Otherwise the tarball contains all source files, plus MakeMaker.wml, Makefile.wml, shtool and README if these files exist.

Overriding default targets

To build the Makefile, all targets are put in separate buffers during pass 3, and those buffers are diverted by pass 5. You can override this defaukt target by redefining buffer contents. Buffer names are explicit: 

    MK_ALL MK_INSTALL MK_CLEAN MK_DISTCLEAN MK_CONFIG MK_RELEASE

Defining new targets

The MK_USER is empty and devoted to this task.

ATTRIBUTES

The first three attributes are mandatory.

package
The name of the package
version
Its version number
modules
List of modules to build and install. This is a space separated list of filenames. Modules should reside in a sub-directory to be compliant with actual file hierarchy. For instance, the declaration 
     modules="math/log.tmpl math/exp.tmpl"
tells that after compilation, there are two modules which are CWmath/log.tmpl and CWmath/exp.tmpl. This modules will be installed to CWLibDir/include/math/log.tmpl and CWLibDir/include/math/exp.tmpl. These modules will then be called in a WML file by 
    #use tmpl::math::log
    #use tmpl::math::exp
Source files for these modules are obtained by replacing the suffix by .src.
src-ext
Defines an alternate suffix for the source files.
man-ext
Section number of the manual in which man files are put. Default is 3.
extradistfiles
Space separated list of files to include in a distribution. By default, all source files plus MakeMaker.wml, Makefile.wml, README and shtool are included in a distribution.

EXAMPLE

 <write-makefile
    package="log"
    version="3.14"
    modules="math/log.tmpl"
    source-ext="exp"
 >

This will build the tmpl::math::log include module from the math/log.exp source file. This source file will also produce the BItmpl::math::log(3) manpage.

NOTES

Please do _not_ use a CW.wml suffix for your modules, they should be reserved for official WML modules shipped with WML. You may instead put your initials or anything else.
