Re^2: MakeMaker, and passing command line arguments along. by syphilis (Archbishop) on Apr 16, 2010 at 09:59 UTC
Its an open bug? Thanks for that. One of those links led me to XML::Parser and how it deals with the problem. And then I remembered that some of Tassilo von Parseval's modules parse the command line for INC and LIBS args, so I took a look at his Unix::Statgrab Makefile.PL. Seems to work fine if the top level Makefile.PL does: `our %args = map { split /\s=\s/ } @ARGV; our $LIBS_LOC = $args{ LIBS } \|\| "-lgmp"; our $INC_LOC = $args{ INC };` [download] and then the subdir Makefile.PL simply has to specify: `WriteMakfile( .... LIBS => $LIBS_LOC, INC => $INC_LOC, .... );` [download] I haven't yet looked at any caveats with that approach. I'll get to that now. Thanks again. Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l] [select]

our %args = map { split /\s*=\s*/ } @ARGV;
our $LIBS_LOC = $args{ LIBS } || "-lgmp";
our $INC_LOC = $args{ INC };
