Revision history for Perl extension ExtUtils::CBuilder. 0.18 Sat Mar 25 13:35:47 CST 2006 - Yet more fixes for arg_defines() on VMS. [Craig A. Berry and John E. Malmberg] 0.17 Wed Mar 15 22:46:15 CST 2006 - When we're being run from an uninstalled perl distribution (e.g. one that's in the process of being built and tested), we search for perl first in the current working directory. [Randy Sims] - More fixing of the arg_defines() method on VMS. [Craig A. Berry and John E. Malmberg] 0.16 Mon Mar 13 17:08:21 CST 2006 - Fix quoting of command line arguments on Windows. [Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes] - Provided a custom arg_defines() on VMS that does essentially the same thing for /define that version 0.14 did for /include. [Craig A. Berry] - Documented the existing 'quiet' parameter, which silences the printing of system() commands. [Suggested by Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes] 0.15 Mon Oct 3 17:10:32 CDT 2005 - Several OS/2 fixes have been made, including: 1) adding the necessary version string to DLLs, 2) passing the executable's name to 'ldopts' without the .exe extension, 3) avoiding calling 'env' via the 'shrpenv' thingy, since it triggers a fork() bug. [Ilya Zakharevich] - Integrate a couple cleanup-related changes from bleadperl that somehow never got into this copy. [Steve Hay] - Added a new 'defines' parameter to compile(), which gives a platform-independant way to specify various -Dfoo=bar (or the equivalent) compiler defines. [Randy W. Sims] 0.14 Mon Sep 19 13:40:37 CDT 2005 - Several fixes have been made for VMS, including: 1) there can only be one /include qualifier, so merge multiple /includes into one; 2) make sure the executable is named the same way that dynaloader will look for it; 3) make sure the option files for the exported symbols and the PERLSHR image are passed properly to the linker. [John E. Malmberg] 0.13 Wed Aug 24 20:05:59 CDT 2005 - Several temporary files weren't being cleaned up during testing, because the 'cleanup' mechanism was never properly implemented. This is now fixed. [Steve Hay] 0.12 Mon May 30 16:40:10 CDT 2005 - In order to integrate into the perl core, patches were contributed that a) put a $VERSION variable in each .pm file, b) add a 'quiet' parameter to new() to shut up some of the command-echoing, c) checks for the perl source headers in the CORE/ directory in the perl source tree, not in the post-installation location, and d) adjusts the CWD when running the regression tests under the perl core. [Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes] - Various parts of the code were looking for the CORE/ directory in $Config{archlib}, $Config{installarchlib}, and $Config{archlibexp}. Only the latter is correct, so we use that everywhere now. [Curt Tilmes] - For Unix-ish platforms, link_executable() will now prefer $Config{cc} to $Config{ld}, because that typically works better. [Jarkko Hietaniemi and H.Merijn Brand] - Prelinking (invoking ExtUtils::Mksymlists to create options-files) is now only done when we're building dynamic libraries. [Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes] 0.11 Tue Apr 5 20:58:41 CDT 2005 - Added a licensing statement to CBuilder.pm. [Spotted by Chip Salzenberg] 0.10 Mon Mar 14 20:18:19 CST 2005 - Split out a few simple routines that format how compile switches are formatted, so that we can override them for platforms like VMS where they're very different. - Fix compile() and link() on VMS. [Help from Michael Schwern and Peter Prymmer] 0.09 Tue Feb 8 17:57:41 CST 2005 - Fixed a broken link_executable() method on cygwin - it now uses 'gcc' instead of $Config{ld} for the linking, because the latter is actually a shell script which calls a perl script which calls gcc in a way that only works for creating shared libraries, not executables. 0.08 Tue Jan 18 21:54:11 CST 2005 - Fixed a testing error in which I had the prototype wrong for the main() function. [Jose Pedro Oliveira] 0.07 Wed Jan 12 21:50:34 CST 2005 - Added the link_executable() method, which provides the ability to create standalone executables. This is NOT yet implemented on Windows, and therefore the tests for it are skipped on Win32. [Alberto Manuel Brandao Simoes] - Integrated the latest split_like_shell() for Windows from Module::Build (really need to find a better home for this code...), which now does a much better job of handling quotes and backslashes and so on. [Randy Sims] - Fixed a couple of Windows problems related to the output-file name in link(), and some clobbering of the 'include_dirs' parameter to compile(). [Randy Sims] 0.06 Mon Dec 27 22:51:36 CST 2004 - Fixed a bug on Unix environments in which our work-around for shell-commands like "FOO=BAR cc" (which is supposed to be turned into "env FOO=BAR cc" to actually work) wasn't being called. 0.05 Wed Oct 13 23:09:09 CDT 2004 - Fixed a bug in split_like_shell() in which leading whitespace was creating an empty word, manifesting as something like "gcc - no such file or directory" during tests. [Spotted by Warren L. Dodge] - Incorporate another split_like_shell() fix from Module::Build. 0.04 Sun Oct 10 00:31:08 CDT 2004 - Changed the split_like_shell() method to use the shellwords() function from Text::ParseWords (a core module since 5.0), which does a much better job than the split() we were using. 0.03 Fri May 14 23:12:23 CDT 2004 - Fixed minor problems with the Build.PL file, the module names should be quoted. - The VMS module declared itself with the wrong package name. 0.02 Fri Feb 20 10:17:40 CST 2004 - Fixed a bug in .../Platform/Windows.pm, in which compile() was ignoring an 'include_dirs' argument. [Randy Sims] - Fixed a bug in .../Platform/Windows.pm, in which output files were being created in the root directory \ when they should be created in the current directory. [Randy Sims] 0.01 Mon Jan 12 08:12:35 CST 2004 - Original release, taken from Module::Build's C-building code, with patching help from Randy Sims.
