Re^2: MakeMaker nsFAQs

Thanks tachyon, but I found a way:

sub MY::postamble {
    return <<'MAKE_FRAG';
testmore :: pure_all
    PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 $(FULLPERLRUN) "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "t
+est_harness($(TEST_VERBOSE), '$(INST_LIB)', '$(INST_ARCHLIB)')" t/mor
+e/*.t
MAKE_FRAG
}
[download]

Creating a MY::postamble that returns a string will append that string to the Makefile. So, by copying the syntax for the existing test target, but altering the directory, I am able to add a new testmore target to the Makefile.

I'm still working on interaction before installing though. One Idea I've just had is to create a t/zzz_post_make_config.t that would prompt the user after testing. Of course I'd have to be careful about output so as not to trigger as a failed test.

Cheers!
Rick

I hope you realize that is not portable	[reply]

I hope you realise that that's a crap reply. If it's not portable, take a second to point out where it's not portable. Do you mean in the path? If so, or if elsewhere, how should I fix it?

Makefile syntax is different across various OSs, command line syntax is different, too. It's probably somewhat more portable to use the "oneliner" method from ExtUtils::MakeMaker for constructing the command line.	[reply]
