Re: stuck in perlxstut, example 4

Unindent the chunk of hardcoded Makefile in both Makefile.PL files.

sub MY::postamble {
'
$(MYEXTLIB): mylib/Makefile
    cd mylib && $(MAKE) $(PASSTHRU)
';
}
[download]

sub MY::top_targets {
'
all :: static

pure_all :: static

static :: libmylib$(LIB_EXT)

libmylib$(LIB_EXT): $(O_FILES)
    $(AR) cr libmylib$(LIB_EXT) $(O_FILES)
    $(RANLIB) libmylib$(LIB_EXT)
';
}
[download]

(Replace the leading spaces with a tab)

The command to build the library doesn't work with MS's compiler, but it should work on Cygwin. For MS's compiler, the command needs to be changed from

    $(AR) cr libmylib$(LIB_EXT) $(O_FILES)
[download]

    $(AR) /out:$(LIB_EXT) $(O_FILES)
[download]

I don't know how to do this portably.

I don't know how to do this portably. To make the makefile portable, it seems all you need to do is use the default action. Change `libmylib$(LIB_EXT): $(O_FILES) $(AR) cr libmylib$(LIB_EXT) $(O_FILES) $(RANLIB) libmylib$(LIB_EXT)` [download] to `libmylib$(LIB_EXT): $(O_FILES)` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Hi ikegami - thanks! That solved the problem. I hate to admit it, but a few tab's cost me about 7 hrs! Bernd.	[reply]
