Now fixed. 0.2701 - Tue Feb 16 09:12:45 EST 2010 Bugs fixed: - compile() now accepts both string & array for 'include_dirs' argument, as documented.(RT#54606) [Alberto Simões] 0.27 - Thu Oct 29 21:29:56 EDT 2009 Other: - Removed Build.PL to avoid creating a circular dependency - Added version numbers to Windows compiler driver modules 0.26_05 - Sun Oct 25 17:29:02 EDT 2009 Bugs fixed: - Fixed t/02link.t failures on cygwin with Perl 5.8 [David Golden] Other: - Made have_compiler (and have_cplusplus) quiet without echoing the test command to STDOUT [David Golden] 0.26_04 - Mon Oct 19 21:57:46 EDT 2009 Enhancements: - Added 'have_cplusplus()' method to check for C++ support - Added patches for building Perl with mingw64 [Sisyphus] - Allow CC environment variable to override $Config{cc} Bugs fixed: - Fixed link executable command for Win32 MSVC (RT#40819) [Cosimo Streppone] - Removed MSVC version check when embedding a manifest file (RT #43002) [Steve Hay] Other: - Split Windows compiler driver packages into individual *.pm files 0.260301 - Sat Aug 29 11:04:41 EDT 2009 Bugs fixed: - Fixed linking error on Win32 with gcc compiler (RT#49000) [kmx] 0.2603 - Sat Jul 18 06:56:06 EDT 2009 Bugs fixed: - Makefile.PL had wrong INSTALLDIRS setting for older Perls (RT#47985) [David Golden] 0.2602 - Sat Jul 4 10:57:12 EDT 2009 Bugs fixed: - Fixed 00-have-compiler.t if $^X is a relative path [David Wheeler] 0.2601 - Wed Jul 1 09:37:39 EDT 2009 Bugs fixed: - On VMS, cleans up extra files generated during testing [John E. Malmberg, Craig Berry] 0.26 - Mon Jun 29 20:11:52 EDT 2009 - No changes from 0.25_01 0.25_01 - Sat Jun 27 23:13:20 EDT 2009 - Changed test library to Test::More - Added tests for have_compiler - Skips tests that need a compiler if have_compiler is false - have_compiler will try to compile in the current directory if compiling in tmpdir fails for whatever reason 0.25 - Fri Jun 26 16:18:13 EDT 2009 - Slight diagnostic improvements in link.t 0.24_01 - Sun Mar 8 14:50:10 2009 - On Windows, don't generate "mt" command when CRT is statically linked. [Jan Dubois] - On Cygwin, examine $Config{useshrplib} to see whether we're supposed to be linking with a shared perl library or not. [Reini Urban] - In link_executable() on Cygwin, trust $Config{ld} rather than using $Config{cc} for linking. [Reini Urban] - Add 'haiku' as a Unix-like platform. [Ingo Weinhold] 0.24 - Fri Aug 15 22:01:48 2008 - 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] 0.23 - Sat Apr 19 22:28:03 2008 - 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] 0.22 - Fri Feb 8 21:52:21 2008 - 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] 0.21 - Tue Oct 30 06:46:01 2007 - 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] 0.19 - Sun May 13 14:29:18 2007 - 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] 0.18 - Mon Mar 26 21:29:09 2007 - Various OS/2 fixes: + Put .LIB file near .DEF file + Got library-file building working better + Handled libperl_overrides better [Ilya Zakharevich] - On Windows: embed manifest files in DLLs built with Module-Build when using VC8. [Steve Hay] - Added a workaround for a config error on dec_osf: the linker is $Config{cc}, not $Config{ld}. [Jarkko Hietaniemi] - Borland's compiler "response files" will not pass through macro definitions that contain quotes. The quotes get stripped and there seems to be no way to escape them. So we leave macros on the command line. [Randy W. Sims] 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-independent 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.
