to trigger/signal a rebuild for the transition 5.8.8 -> 5.10.0.
The list of packages is computed by finding all packages which end
up having either of PERL5_USE_PACKLIST, BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.perl,
or PERL5_PACKLIST defined in their make setup (tested via
"make show-vars VARNAMES=...").
- Added 'gnu' and 'gnukfreebsd' as Unix variants. [Niko Tyni]
- Brought in some VMS fixes from bleadperl: "Correct and complete
CBuilder's handling of external libraries when linking on VMS."
[Craig Berry]
- Fixed some problems (some old, some new) with Strawberry Perl on
Windows. [Alberto Simo~es]
- Will now install in the core perl lib directory when the user's
perl is new enough to have us in core. [Yi Ma Mao]
- Replaced the split_like_shell() method on Windows with a
near-no-op, which is probably more correct and has the benefit of
not messing up UNC paths. [John R. LoVerso, see
http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=26545]
- Fixed extra_compiler_flags on Windows, they were being
ignored. [Robert May]
- Clean up perl_src path using Cwd::realpath(). Only affects usage
as part of the perl core.
- Protect $., $@, $!, $^E, and $? from any clobbering that might
occur in our DESTROY method. [Zefram]
- From bleadperl, a patch to clean up debug symbol files (.pdb for
VC++, .tds for BCC) when running have_compiler(). [Steve Hay &
Steve Peters]
- When building as part of the perl core (so this is irrelevant for
people downloading from CPAN) we now try a little harder to find
the perl sources. [Jos Boumans]
- Fixed a part of the manifest thingy that got broken on 64-bit
Windows platforms in version 0.18. [Steve Hay, Jan Dubois]
Collection.
This Perl 5 module can build the C portions of Perl modules by
invoking the appropriate compilers and linkers in a cross-platform
manner. It was motivated by the "Module::Build" project, but may
be useful for other purposes as well. However, it is not intended
as a general cross-platform interface to all your C building
needs.
