3 | This file is built by metaconfig. | |
4 | ||
d7418ba7 | 5 | This file contains a description of all the shell variables whose value is |
6 | determined by the Configure script. Variables intended for use in C | |
269a7913 | 7 | programs (e.g. I_UNISTD) are already described in config_h.SH. [`configpm' |
ebc74a4b | 8 | generates pod documentation for Config.pm from this file--please try to keep |
24412007 | 9 | the formatting regular.] |
d7418ba7 | 10 | |
781b178c | 11 | _a (Unix.U): |
9285ede2 | 12 | This variable defines the extension used for ordinary library files. |
781b178c JH |
13 | For unix, it is '.a'. The '.' is included. Other possible |
14 | values include '.lib'. | |
15 | ||
16 | _exe (Unix.U): | |
17 | This variable defines the extension used for executable files. | |
24412007 JH |
18 | DJGPP, Cygwin and OS/2 use '.exe'. Stratus VOS uses '.pm'. |
19 | On operating systems which do not require a specific extension | |
20 | for executable files, this variable is empty. | |
781b178c JH |
21 | |
22 | _o (Unix.U): | |
23 | This variable defines the extension used for object files. | |
24 | For unix, it is '.o'. The '.' is included. Other possible | |
25 | values include '.obj'. | |
26 | ||
27 | afs (afs.U): | |
28 | This variable is set to 'true' if AFS (Andrew File System) is used | |
29 | on the system, 'false' otherwise. It is possible to override this | |
30 | with a hint value or command line option, but you'd better know | |
31 | what you are doing. | |
32 | ||
a6d26a0d JH |
33 | afsroot (afs.U): |
34 | This variable is by default set to '/afs'. In the unlikely case | |
35 | this is not the correct root, it is possible to override this with | |
36 | a hint value or command line option. This will be used in subsequent | |
776a38e3 | 37 | tests for AFSness in the configure and test process. |
a6d26a0d | 38 | |
781b178c JH |
39 | alignbytes (alignbytes.U): |
40 | This variable holds the number of bytes required to align a | |
87b71857 JH |
41 | double-- or a long double when applicable. Usual values are |
42 | 2, 4 and 8. The default is eight, for safety. | |
781b178c JH |
43 | |
44 | ansi2knr (ansi2knr.U): | |
635aebb7 | 45 | This variable is set if the user needs to run ansi2knr. |
781b178c JH |
46 | Currently, this is not supported, so we just abort. |
47 | ||
48 | aphostname (d_gethname.U): | |
49 | This variable contains the command which can be used to compute the | |
50 | host name. The command is fully qualified by its absolute path, to make | |
51 | it safe when used by a process with super-user privileges. | |
52 | ||
ff935051 JH |
53 | api_revision (patchlevel.U): |
54 | The three variables, api_revision, api_version, and | |
55 | api_subversion, specify the version of the oldest perl binary | |
56 | compatible with the present perl. In a full version string | |
57 | such as '5.6.1', api_revision is the '5'. | |
58 | Prior to 5.5.640, the format was a floating point number, | |
59 | like 5.00563. | |
9c20e9bc JH |
60 | |
61 | perl.c:incpush() and lib/lib.pm will automatically search in | |
ff935051 JH |
62 | $sitelib/.. for older directories back to the limit specified |
63 | by these api_ variables. This is only useful if you have a | |
64 | perl library directory tree structured like the default one. | |
65 | See INSTALL for how this works. The versioned site_perl | |
66 | directory was introduced in 5.005, so that is the lowest | |
67 | possible value. The version list appropriate for the current | |
68 | system is determined in inc_version_list.U. | |
9c20e9bc JH |
69 | |
70 | XXX To do: Since compatibility can depend on compile time | |
08e5223a | 71 | options (such as bincompat, longlong, etc.) it should |
ff935051 JH |
72 | (perhaps) be set by Configure, but currently it isn't. |
73 | Currently, we read a hard-wired value from patchlevel.h. | |
74 | Perhaps what we ought to do is take the hard-wired value from | |
75 | patchlevel.h but then modify it if the current Configure | |
76 | options warrant. patchlevel.h then would use an #ifdef guard. | |
77 | ||
78 | api_subversion (patchlevel.U): | |
79 | The three variables, api_revision, api_version, and | |
80 | api_subversion, specify the version of the oldest perl binary | |
81 | compatible with the present perl. In a full version string | |
82 | such as '5.6.1', api_subversion is the '1'. See api_revision for | |
83 | full details. | |
84 | ||
85 | api_version (patchlevel.U): | |
86 | The three variables, api_revision, api_version, and | |
87 | api_subversion, specify the version of the oldest perl binary | |
88 | compatible with the present perl. In a full version string | |
89 | such as '5.6.1', api_version is the '6'. See api_revision for | |
90 | full details. As a special case, 5.5.0 is rendered in the | |
91 | old-style as 5.005. (In the 5.005_0x maintenance series, | |
92 | this was the only versioned directory in $sitelib.) | |
93 | ||
94 | api_versionstring (patchlevel.U): | |
95 | This variable combines api_revision, api_version, and | |
96 | api_subversion in a format such as 5.6.1 (or 5_6_1) suitable | |
97 | for use as a directory name. This is filesystem dependent. | |
781b178c JH |
98 | |
99 | ar (Loc.U): | |
5bf26616 | 100 | This variable is used internally by Configure to determine the |
781b178c JH |
101 | full pathname (if any) of the ar program. After Configure runs, |
102 | the value is reset to a plain "ar" and is not useful. | |
103 | ||
104 | archlib (archlib.U): | |
105 | This variable holds the name of the directory in which the user wants | |
106 | to put architecture-dependent public library files for $package. | |
107 | It is most often a local directory such as /usr/local/lib. | |
108 | Programs using this variable must be prepared to deal | |
109 | with filename expansion. | |
110 | ||
111 | archlibexp (archlib.U): | |
112 | This variable is the same as the archlib variable, but is | |
113 | filename expanded at configuration time, for convenient use. | |
114 | ||
781b178c JH |
115 | archname (archname.U): |
116 | This variable is a short name to characterize the current | |
117 | architecture. It is used mainly to construct the default archlib. | |
118 | ||

119 | archname64 (use64bits.U): |
120 | This variable is used for the 64-bitness part of $archname. | |
121 | ||
781b178c JH |
122 | archobjs (Unix.U): |
123 | This variable defines any additional objects that must be linked | |
124 | in with the program on this architecture. On unix, it is usually | |
125 | empty. It is typically used to include emulations of unix calls | |
126 | or other facilities. For perl on OS/2, for example, this would | |
127 | include os2/os2.obj. | |
128 | ||
10bc17b6 JH |
129 | asctime_r_proto (d_asctime_r.U): |
130 | This variable encodes the prototype of asctime_r. | |
39183afa JH |
131 | It is zero if d_asctime_r is undef, and one of the |
132 | REENTRANT_PROTO_T_ABC macros of reentr.h if d_asctime_r | |
133 | is defined. | |
10bc17b6 | 134 | |
781b178c | 135 | awk (Loc.U): |
5bf26616 | 136 | This variable is used internally by Configure to determine the |
781b178c JH |
137 | full pathname (if any) of the awk program. After Configure runs, |
138 | the value is reset to a plain "awk" and is not useful. | |
139 | ||
140 | baserev (baserev.U): | |
141 | The base revision level of this package, from the .package file. | |
142 | ||
143 | bash (Loc.U): | |

146 | |
147 | bin (bin.U): | |
148 | This variable holds the name of the directory in which the user wants | |
149 | to put publicly executable images for the package in question. It | |
150 | is most often a local directory such as /usr/local/bin. Programs using | |
151 | this variable must be prepared to deal with ~name substitution. | |
152 | ||
f1ce3bf1 MB |
153 | bin_ELF (dlsrc.U): |
154 | This variable saves the result from configure if generated binaries | |
155 | are in ELF format. Only set to defined when the test has actually | |
156 | been performed, and the result was positive. | |
157 | ||
781b178c JH |
158 | binexp (bin.U): |
159 | This is the same as the bin variable, but is filename expanded at | |
160 | configuration time, for use in your makefiles. | |
161 | ||
162 | bison (Loc.U): | |
2d967e39 JH |
163 | This variable is used internally by Configure to determine the |
164 | full pathname (if any) of the bison program. After Configure runs, | |
165 | the value is reset to a plain "bison" and is not useful. | |
781b178c JH |
166 | |
167 | byacc (Loc.U): | |
5bf26616 | 168 | This variable is used internally by Configure to determine the |
781b178c JH |
169 | full pathname (if any) of the byacc program. After Configure runs, |
170 | the value is reset to a plain "byacc" and is not useful. | |
171 | ||
172 | byteorder (byteorder.U): | |
24412007 JH |
173 | This variable holds the byte order in a UV. In the following, |
174 | larger digits indicate more significance. The variable byteorder | |
175 | is either 4321 on a big-endian machine, or 1234 on a little-endian, | |
176 | or 87654321 on a Cray ... or 3412 with weird order ! | |
781b178c JH |
177 | |
178 | c (n.U): | |
179 | This variable contains the \c string if that is what causes the echo | |
180 | command to suppress newline. Otherwise it is null. Correct usage is | |
181 | $echo $n "prompt for a question: $c". | |
182 | ||
183 | castflags (d_castneg.U): | |
184 | This variable contains a flag that precise difficulties the | |
185 | compiler has casting odd floating values to unsigned long: | |
186 | 0 = ok | |
187 | 1 = couldn't cast < 0 | |
188 | 2 = couldn't cast >= 0x80000000 | |
189 | 4 = couldn't cast in argument expression list | |
190 | ||

5bf26616 | 192 | This variable is used internally by Configure to determine the |
781b178c JH |
193 | full pathname (if any) of the cat program. After Configure runs, |
194 | the value is reset to a plain "cat" and is not useful. | |
195 | ||
196 | cc (cc.U): | |
197 | This variable holds the name of a command to execute a C compiler which | |
198 | can resolve multiple global references that happen to have the same | |
5869b1f1 JH |
199 | name. Usual values are 'cc' and 'gcc'. |
200 | Fervent ANSI compilers may be called 'c89'. AIX has xlc. | |
781b178c JH |
201 | |
202 | cccdlflags (dlsrc.U): | |
203 | This variable contains any special flags that might need to be | |
204 | passed with 'cc -c' to compile modules to be used to create a shared | |
205 | library that will be used for dynamic loading. For hpux, this | |
206 | should be +z. It is up to the makefile to use it. | |
207 | ||
208 | ccdlflags (dlsrc.U): | |
209 | This variable contains any special flags that might need to be | |
210 | passed to cc to link with a shared library for dynamic loading. | |

219 | This variable contains the compiler flags needed by large file builds | |
220 | and added to ccflags by hints files. | |
221 | ||
6b356c8e JH |
222 | ccname (Checkcc.U): |
223 | This can set either by hints files or by Configure. If using | |
224 | gcc, this is gcc, and if not, usually equal to cc, unimpressive, no? | |
225 | Some platforms, however, make good use of this by storing the | |
226 | flavor of the C compiler being used here. For example if using | |
227 | the Sun WorkShop suite, ccname will be 'workshop'. | |
228 | ||
781b178c JH |
229 | ccsymbols (Cppsym.U): |
230 | The variable contains the symbols defined by the C compiler alone. | |
52c7d5b6 JH |
231 | The symbols defined by cpp or by cc when it calls cpp are not in |
232 | this list, see cppsymbols and cppccsymbols. | |
781b178c JH |
233 | The list is a space-separated list of symbol=value tokens. |
234 | ||
6b356c8e JH |
235 | ccversion (Checkcc.U): |
236 | This can set either by hints files or by Configure. If using | |

243 | ||
244 | cf_email (cf_email.U): | |
245 | Electronic mail address of the person who ran Configure. This can be | |
246 | used by units that require the user's e-mail, like MailList.U. | |
247 | ||
248 | cf_time (cf_who.U): | |
249 | Holds the output of the "date" command when the configuration file was | |
250 | produced. This is used to tag both config.sh and config_h.SH. | |

302 | command line pieces, given in config_arg[0-9]*. | |
303 | ||
781b178c JH |
304 | contains (contains.U): |
305 | This variable holds the command to do a grep with a proper return | |
306 | status. On most sane systems it is simply "grep". On insane systems | |

338 | cpplast (cppstdin.U): | |
339 | This variable has the same functionality as cppminus, only it applies | |
340 | to cpprun and not cppstdin. | |
341 | ||
342 | cppminus (cppstdin.U): | |
343 | This variable contains the second part of the string which will invoke | |
344 | the C preprocessor on the standard input and produce to standard | |
345 | output. This variable will have the value "-" if cppstdin needs | |
346 | a minus to specify standard input, otherwise the value is "". | |
347 | ||
348 | cpprun (cppstdin.U): | |
349 | This variable contains the command which will invoke a C preprocessor | |
350 | on standard input and put the output to stdout. It is guaranteed not | |
351 | to be a wrapper and may be a null string if no preprocessor can be | |
352 | made directly available. This preprocessor might be different from the | |
353 | one used by the C compiler. Don't forget to append cpplast after the | |
354 | preprocessor options. | |
355 | ||
356 | cppstdin (cppstdin.U): | |
357 | This variable contains the command which will invoke the C | |
358 | preprocessor on standard input and put the output to stdout. | |

3451 | man3direxp only points to the read-only access location. For extra | |
3452 | portability, you should only use this variable within your makefiles. | |
3453 | ||
3454 | installprefix (installprefix.U): | |
635aebb7 | 3455 | This variable holds the name of the directory below which |
781b178c JH |
3456 | "make install" will install the package. For most users, this |
3457 | is the same as prefix. However, it is useful for | |
3458 | installing the software into a different (usually temporary) | |
3459 | location after which it can be bundled up and moved somehow | |
3460 | to the final location specified by prefix. | |
3461 | ||
3462 | installprefixexp (installprefix.U): | |
3463 | This variable holds the full absolute path of installprefix | |
3464 | with all ~-expansion done. | |

3518 | should always use this variable within your makefiles for portability. | |
3519 | ||
781b178c JH |
3520 | installstyle (installstyle.U): |
3521 | This variable describes the "style" of the perl installation. | |
3522 | This is intended to be useful for tools that need to | |
3523 | manipulate entire perl distributions. Perl itself doesn't use | |
3524 | this to find its libraries -- the library directories are | |
3525 | stored directly in Config.pm. Currently, there are only two | |
3526 | styles: "lib" and "lib/perl5". The default library locations | |
3527 | (e.g. privlib, sitelib) are either $prefix/lib or | |
3528 | $prefix/lib/perl5. The former is useful if $prefix is a | |
3529 | directory dedicated to perl (e.g. /opt/perl), while the latter | |
3530 | is useful if $prefix is shared by many packages, e.g. if | |
3531 | $prefix=/usr/local. | |
9c20e9bc | 3532 | |
123f32c0 MB |
3533 | Unfortunately, while this "style" variable is used to set |
3534 | defaults for all three directory hierarchies (core, vendor, and | |
3535 | site), there is no guarantee that the same style is actually | |
3536 | appropriate for all those directories. For example, $prefix | |
3537 | might be /opt/perl, but $siteprefix might be /usr/local. | |
3538 | (Perhaps, in retrospect, the "lib" style should never have been | |
3539 | supported, but it did seem like a nice idea at the time.) | |
3540 | ||
3541 | The situation is even less clear for tools such as MakeMaker | |
3542 | that can be used to install additional modules into | |
3543 | non-standard places. For example, if a user intends to install | |
3544 | a module into a private directory (perhaps by setting PREFIX on | |
3545 | the Makefile.PL command line), then there is no reason to | |
3546 | assume that the Configure-time $installstyle setting will be | |
3547 | relevant for that PREFIX. | |
3548 | ||
9c20e9bc | 3549 | This may later be extended to include other information, so |
781b178c | 3550 | be careful with pattern-matching on the results. |
9c20e9bc JH |
3551 | |
3552 | For compatibility with perl5.005 and earlier, the default | |
781b178c JH |
3553 | setting is based on whether or not $prefix contains the string |
3554 | "perl". | |

3629 | This variable indicates the program to be used to link | |
3630 | libraries for dynamic loading. On some systems, it is 'ld'. | |
3631 | On ELF systems, it should be $cc. Mostly, we'll try to respect | |
3632 | the hint file setting. | |

3634 | ld_can_script (dlsrc.U): |
3635 | This variable shows if the loader accepts scripts in the form of | |
3636 | -Wl,--version-script=ld.script. This is currently only supported | |
3637 | for GNU ld on ELF in dynamic loading builds. | |

3639 | lddlflags (dlsrc.U): |
3640 | This variable contains any special flags that might need to be | |
3641 | passed to $ld to create a shared library suitable for dynamic | |
3642 | loading. It is up to the makefile to use it. For hpux, it | |

3673 | is usually libperl.a, but can also be libperl.so.xxx if | |
3674 | the user wishes to build a perl executable with a shared | |
3675 | library. | |
3676 | ||
3677 | libpth (libpth.U): | |

3733 | localtime_r_proto (d_localtime_r.U): |
3734 | This variable encodes the prototype of localtime_r. | |
39183afa JH |
3735 | It is zero if d_localtime_r is undef, and one of the |
3736 | REENTRANT_PROTO_T_ABC macros of reentr.h if d_localtime_r | |
3737 | is defined. | |
10bc17b6 | 3738 | |
781b178c JH |
3739 | locincpth (ccflags.U): |
3740 | This variable contains a list of additional directories to be | |
3741 | searched by the compiler. The appropriate '-I' directives will | |
3742 | be added to ccflags. This is intended to simplify setting | |
3743 | local directories from the Configure command line. | |
3744 | It's not much, but it parallels the loclibpth stuff in libpth.U. | |
3745 | ||
3746 | loclibpth (libpth.U): | |
3747 | This variable holds the paths (space-separated) used to find local | |
3748 | libraries. It is prepended to libpth, and is intended to be easily | |
3749 | set from the command line. | |
3750 | ||
3751 | longdblsize (d_longdbl.U): | |
3752 | This variable contains the value of the LONG_DOUBLESIZE symbol, which | |

3778 | lseeksize (lseektype.U): | |
635aebb7 | 3779 | This variable defines lseektype to be something like off_t, long, |
781b178c JH |

3781 | kernel (which also appears to be lseek's return type). | |
3782 | ||
3783 | lseektype (lseektype.U): | |
635aebb7 | 3784 | This variable defines lseektype to be something like off_t, long, |

3821 | Possible values are: | |
44b94491 | 3822 | |

781b178c | 3825 | make_set_make="MAKE=$make" # if it doesn't. |
44b94491 | 3826 | |
5bcaa86b | 3827 | This uses a comment character so that we can distinguish a |
1d896104 | 3828 | 'set' value (from a previous config.sh or Configure '-D' option) |
781b178c JH |

3831 | mallocobj (mallocsrc.U): | |
3832 | This variable contains the name of the malloc.o that this package | |
3833 | generates, if that malloc.o is preferred over the system malloc. | |
3834 | Otherwise the value is null. This variable is intended for generating | |
3835 | Makefiles. See mallocsrc. | |
3836 | ||
3837 | mallocsrc (mallocsrc.U): | |
3838 | This variable contains the name of the malloc.c that comes with | |
3839 | the package, if that malloc.c is preferred over the system malloc. | |
3840 | Otherwise the value is null. This variable is intended for generating | |
3841 | Makefiles. | |
3842 | ||
3843 | malloctype (mallocsrc.U): | |
3844 | This variable contains the kind of ptr returned by malloc and realloc. | |
3845 | ||
3846 | man1dir (man1dir.U): | |
3847 | This variable contains the name of the directory in which manual | |
3848 | source pages are to be put. It is the responsibility of the | |
3849 | Makefile.SH to get the value of this into the proper command. | |
3850 | You must be prepared to do the ~name expansion yourself. | |
3851 | ||
3852 | man1direxp (man1dir.U): | |
3853 | This variable is the same as the man1dir variable, but is filename | |
3854 | expanded at configuration time, for convenient use in makefiles. | |
3855 | ||
3856 | man1ext (man1dir.U): | |
3857 | This variable contains the extension that the manual page should | |
3858 | have: one of 'n', 'l', or '1'. The Makefile must supply the '.'. | |
3859 | See man1dir. | |
3860 | ||
3861 | man3dir (man3dir.U): | |
3862 | This variable contains the name of the directory in which manual | |
3863 | source pages are to be put. It is the responsibility of the | |
3864 | Makefile.SH to get the value of this into the proper command. | |
3865 | You must be prepared to do the ~name expansion yourself. | |
3866 | ||
3867 | man3direxp (man3dir.U): | |
3868 | This variable is the same as the man3dir variable, but is filename | |
3869 | expanded at configuration time, for convenient use in makefiles. | |

3879 | ||
65d1576c | 3880 | mistrustnm (Csym.U): |
5129fff4 JH |
3881 | This variable can be used to establish a fallthrough for the cases |
3882 | where nm fails to find a symbol. If usenm is false or usenm is true | |
3883 | and mistrustnm is false, this variable has no effect. If usenm is true | |
3884 | and mistrustnm is "compile", a test program will be compiled to try to | |
3885 | find any symbol that can't be located via nm lookup. If mistrustnm is | |
3886 | "run", the test program will be run as well as being compiled. | |
3887 | ||
781b178c | 3888 | mkdir (Loc.U): |
5bf26616 | 3889 | This variable is used internally by Configure to determine the |
781b178c JH |
3890 | full pathname (if any) of the mkdir program. After Configure runs, |
3891 | the value is reset to a plain "mkdir" and is not useful. | |
3892 | ||
fe749a9f JH |
3893 | mmaptype (d_mmap.U): |
3894 | This symbol contains the type of pointer returned by mmap() | |
3895 | (and simultaneously the type of the first argument). | |
3896 | It can be 'void *' or 'caddr_t'. | |
3897 | ||
781b178c | 3898 | modetype (modetype.U): |
635aebb7 AL |
3899 | This variable defines modetype to be something like mode_t, |
3900 | int, unsigned short, or whatever type is used to declare file | |
781b178c JH |
3901 | modes for system calls. |
3902 | ||
3903 | more (Loc.U): | |
5bf26616 | 3904 | This variable is used internally by Configure to determine the |
781b178c JH |
3905 | full pathname (if any) of the more program. After Configure runs, |
3906 | the value is reset to a plain "more" and is not useful. | |
3907 | ||
3908 | multiarch (multiarch.U): | |
3909 | This variable conditionally defines the MULTIARCH symbol | |
3910 | which signifies the presence of multiplatform files. | |
3911 | This is normally set by hints files. | |
3912 | ||
3913 | mv (Loc.U): | |
3914 | This variable is defined but not used by Configure. | |
fcdf39cf | 3915 | The value is the empty string and is not useful. |
781b178c JH |
3916 | |
3917 | myarchname (archname.U): | |
3918 | This variable holds the architecture name computed by Configure in | |
3919 | a previous run. It is not intended to be perused by any user and | |
3920 | should never be set in a hint file. | |
3921 | ||
3922 | mydomain (myhostname.U): | |
3923 | This variable contains the eventual value of the MYDOMAIN symbol, | |
3924 | which is the domain of the host the program is going to run on. | |
3925 | The domain must be appended to myhostname to form a complete host name. | |
3926 | The dot comes with mydomain, and need not be supplied by the program. | |
3927 | ||
3928 | myhostname (myhostname.U): | |
3929 | This variable contains the eventual value of the MYHOSTNAME symbol, | |
3930 | which is the name of the host the program is going to run on. | |
3931 | The domain is not kept with hostname, but must be gotten from mydomain. | |
3932 | The dot comes with mydomain, and need not be supplied by the program. | |
3933 | ||
3934 | myuname (Oldconfig.U): | |
3935 | The output of 'uname -a' if available, otherwise the hostname. On Xenix, | |
3936 | pseudo variables assignments in the output are stripped, thank you. The | |
3937 | whole thing is then lower-cased. | |
3938 | ||
3939 | n (n.U): | |
1d896104 | 3940 | This variable contains the '-n' flag if that is what causes the echo |
781b178c JH |
3941 | command to suppress newline. Otherwise it is null. Correct usage is |
3942 | $echo $n "prompt for a question: $c". | |
3943 | ||
2cc61e15 DD |
3944 | need_va_copy (need_va_copy.U): |
3945 | This symbol, if defined, indicates that the system stores | |
3946 | the variable argument list datatype, va_list, in a format | |
3947 | that cannot be copied by simple assignment, so that some | |
3948 | other means must be used when copying is required. | |
3949 | As such systems vary in their provision (or non-provision) | |
3950 | of copying mechanisms, handy.h defines a platform- | |
3951 | independent macro, Perl_va_copy(src, dst), to do the job. | |
3952 | ||
781b178c JH |
3953 | netdb_hlen_type (netdbtype.U): |
3954 | This variable holds the type used for the 2nd argument to | |
3955 | gethostbyaddr(). Usually, this is int or size_t or unsigned. | |

3958 | netdb_host_type (netdbtype.U): | |
3959 | This variable holds the type used for the 1st argument to | |
3960 | gethostbyaddr(). Usually, this is char * or void *, possibly | |

3967 | This is only useful if you have gethostbyname(), naturally. | |
3968 | ||
3969 | netdb_net_type (netdbtype.U): | |
3970 | This variable holds the type used for the 1st argument to | |
3971 | getnetbyaddr(). Usually, this is int or long. | |
3972 | This is only useful if you have getnetbyaddr(), naturally. | |
3973 | ||
3974 | nm (Loc.U): | |
5bf26616 | 3975 | This variable is used internally by Configure to determine the |
781b178c JH |
3976 | full pathname (if any) of the nm program. After Configure runs, |
3977 | the value is reset to a plain "nm" and is not useful. | |
3978 | ||
3979 | nm_opt (usenm.U): | |
3980 | This variable holds the options that may be necessary for nm. | |
3981 | ||
3982 | nm_so_opt (usenm.U): | |
3983 | This variable holds the options that may be necessary for nm | |
3984 | to work on a shared library but that can not be used on an | |
3985 | archive library. Currently, this is only used by Linux, where | |
3986 | nm --dynamic is *required* to get symbols from an ELF library which | |
3987 | has been stripped, but nm --dynamic is *fatal* on an archive library. | |
3988 | Maybe Linux should just always set usenm=false. | |
3989 | ||
3990 | nonxs_ext (Extensions.U): | |
3991 | This variable holds a list of all non-xs extensions included | |
3992 | in the package. All of them will be built. | |

4039 | This variable bears the symbol value to be used during open() or fcntl() | |
4040 | to turn on non-blocking I/O for a file descriptor. If you wish to switch | |
4041 | between blocking and non-blocking, you may try ioctl(FIOSNBIO) instead, | |
4042 | but that is only supported by some devices. | |
4043 | ||
4044 | obj_ext (Unix.U): | |
4045 | This is an old synonym for _o. | |
4046 | ||
4047 | old_pthread_create_joinable (d_pthrattrj.U): | |
4048 | This variable defines the constant to use for creating joinable | |
4049 | (aka undetached) pthreads. Unused if pthread.h defines | |
4050 | PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE. If used, possible values are | |
4051 | PTHREAD_CREATE_UNDETACHED and __UNDETACHED. | |
4052 | ||
4053 | optimize (ccflags.U): | |
4054 | This variable contains any optimizer/debugger flag that should be used. | |
4055 | It is up to the Makefile to use it. | |
4056 | ||
4057 | orderlib (orderlib.U): | |
4058 | This variable is "true" if the components of libraries must be ordered | |
4059 | (with `lorder $* | tsort`) before placing them in an archive. Set to | |
4060 | "false" if ranlib or ar can generate random libraries. | |
4061 | ||
4062 | osname (Oldconfig.U): | |
4063 | This variable contains the operating system name (e.g. sunos, | |
4064 | solaris, hpux, etc.). It can be useful later on for setting | |
4065 | defaults. Any spaces are replaced with underscores. It is set | |
4066 | to a null string if we can't figure it out. | |
4067 | ||
4068 | osvers (Oldconfig.U): | |
4069 | This variable contains the operating system version (e.g. | |
4070 | 4.1.3, 5.2, etc.). It is primarily used for helping select | |
4071 | an appropriate hints file, but might be useful elsewhere for | |
4072 | setting defaults. It is set to '' if we can't figure it out. | |
4073 | We try to be flexible about how much of the version number | |
4074 | to keep, e.g. if 4.1.1, 4.1.2, and 4.1.3 are essentially the | |
4075 | same for this package, hints files might just be os_4.0 or | |
4076 | os_4.1, etc., not keeping separate files for each little release. | |
4077 | ||
3b777bb4 GS |
4078 | otherlibdirs (otherlibdirs.U): |
4079 | This variable contains a colon-separated set of paths for the perl | |
4080 | binary to search for additional library files or modules. | |
4081 | These directories will be tacked to the end of @INC. | |
4082 | Perl will automatically search below each path for version- | |
4083 | and architecture-specific directories. See inc_version_list | |
4084 | for more details. | |
4085 | A value of ' ' means 'none' and is used to preserve this value | |
4086 | for the next run through Configure. | |
4087 | ||
781b178c JH |
4088 | package (package.U): |
4089 | This variable contains the name of the package being constructed. | |

4095 | ||
4096 | passcat (nis.U): | |
4097 | This variable contains a command that produces the text of the | |
4098 | /etc/passwd file. This is normally "cat /etc/passwd", but can be | |
4099 | "ypcat passwd" when NIS is used. | |
aaacdc8b GS |
4100 | On some systems, such as os390, there may be no equivalent |
4101 | command, in which case this variable is unset. | |

4123 | PERL_API_REVISION (patchlevel.h): |
4124 | This number describes the earliest compatible PERL_REVISION of | |
4125 | Perl ("compatibility" here being defined as sufficient binary/API | |
4126 | compatibility to run XS code built with the older version). | |
4127 | Normally this does not change across maintenance releases. | |

4129 | ||
4130 | PERL_API_SUBVERSION (patchlevel.h): | |
4131 | This number describes the earliest compatible PERL_SUBVERSION of | |

4146 | sourcing config.sh can tell if it has been sourced already. | |
4147 | ||
4148 | PERL_PATCHLEVEL (Oldsyms.U): | |
4149 | This symbol reflects the patchlevel, if available. Will usually | |
4150 | come from the .patch file, which is available when the perl | |

a6d26a0d JH |
4153 | perl_patchlevel (patchlevel.U): |
4154 | This is the Perl patch level, a numeric change identifier, | |
4155 | as defined by whichever source code maintenance system | |
4156 | is used to maintain the patches; currently Perforce. | |
4157 | It does not correlate with the Perl version numbers or | |
4158 | the maintenance versus development dichotomy except | |
4159 | by also being increasing. | |
4160 | ||
4d54317a JH |
4161 | PERL_REVISION (Oldsyms.U): |
4162 | In a Perl version number such as 5.6.2, this is the 5. | |

4175 | PERL_SUBVERSION (Oldsyms.U): |
4176 | In a Perl version number such as 5.6.2, this is the 2. | |
4177 | Values greater than 50 represent potentially unstable | |
4178 | development subversions. | |
4179 | This value is manually set in patchlevel.h | |
4180 | ||
4181 | PERL_VERSION (Oldsyms.U): | |
4182 | In a Perl version number such as 5.6.2, this is the 6. | |

4190 | by extensions only will by dropped, if using dynamic loading). | |
4191 | ||
91f55cc7 MB |
4192 | perlpath (perlpath.U): |
4193 | This variable contains the eventual value of the PERLPATH symbol, | |
4194 | which contains the name of the perl interpreter to be used in | |
4195 | shell scripts and in the "eval 'exec'" idiom. This variable is | |
4196 | not necessarily the pathname of the file containing the perl | |
4197 | interpreter; you must append the executable extension (_exe) if | |
4198 | it is not already present. Note that Perl code that runs during | |
4199 | the Perl build process cannot reference this variable, as Perl | |
4200 | may not have been installed, or even if installed, may be a | |
4201 | different version of Perl. | |
4202 | ||
781b178c | 4203 | pg (Loc.U): |
5bf26616 | 4204 | This variable is used internally by Configure to determine the |
781b178c JH |

4207 | ||
4208 | phostname (myhostname.U): | |
4209 | This variable contains the eventual value of the PHOSTNAME symbol, | |
4210 | which is a command that can be fed to popen() to get the host name. | |
4211 | The program should probably not presume that the domain is or isn't | |
4212 | there already. | |
4213 | ||
4214 | pidtype (pidtype.U): | |
635aebb7 | 4215 | This variable defines PIDTYPE to be something like pid_t, int, |

4297 | rd_nodata (nblock_io.U): | |
4298 | This variable holds the return code from read() when no data is | |
4299 | present. It should be -1, but some systems return 0 when O_NDELAY is | |
4300 | used, which is a shame because you cannot make the difference between | |
209e5c0a | 4301 | no data and an EOF.. Sigh! |

4350 | to put publicly scripts for the package in question. It is either | |
4351 | the same directory as for binaries, or a special one that can be | |
4352 | mounted across different architectures, like /usr/share. Programs | |
4353 | must be prepared to deal with ~name expansion. | |
4354 | ||
4355 | scriptdirexp (scriptdir.U): | |
4356 | This variable is the same as scriptdir, but is filename expanded | |
4357 | at configuration time, for programs not wanting to bother with it. | |
4358 | ||
4359 | sed (Loc.U): | |

781b178c JH |
4435 | sh (sh.U): |
4436 | This variable contains the full pathname of the shell used | |
4437 | on this system to execute Bourne shell scripts. Usually, this will be | |
4438 | /bin/sh, though it's possible that some systems will have /bin/ksh, | |

4440 | D:/bin/sh.exe. | |
1d896104 | 4441 | This unit comes before Options.U, so you can't set sh with a '-D' |
781b178c | 4442 | option, though you can override this (and startsh) |
1d896104 | 4443 | with '-O -Dsh=/bin/whatever -Dstartsh=whatever' |
781b178c JH |

635aebb7 | 4463 | 'perl' executable where it will be able to find the installed libperl.so. |
781b178c JH |
4464 | One way to do this on some systems is to set the environment variable |
4465 | LD_RUN_PATH to the directory that will be the final location of the | |
4466 | shared libperl.so. The makefile can use this with something like | |
4467 | $shrpenv $(CC) -o perl perlmain.o $libperl $libs | |
4468 | Typical values are | |
4469 | shrpenv="env LD_RUN_PATH=$archlibexp/CORE" | |
4470 | or | |
4471 | shrpenv='' | |
4472 | See the main perl Makefile.SH for actual working usage. | |
4473 | Alternatively, we might be able to use a command line option such | |
c68a00c0 | 4474 | as -R $archlibexp/CORE (Solaris) or -Wl,-rpath |

5bf26616 | 4984 | This variable is used internally by Configure to determine the |
781b178c JH |
4985 | full pathname (if any) of the uname program. After Configure runs, |
4986 | the value is reset to a plain "uname" and is not useful. | |
4987 | ||
4988 | uniq (Loc.U): | |
5bf26616 | 4989 | This variable is used internally by Configure to determine the |
781b178c JH |
4990 | full pathname (if any) of the uniq program. After Configure runs, |
4991 | the value is reset to a plain "uniq" and is not useful. | |

5003 | use64bitall (use64bits.U): |
5004 | This variable conditionally defines the USE_64_BIT_ALL symbol, | |
5005 | and indicates that 64-bit integer types should be used | |
5006 | when available. The maximal possible | |
5007 | 64-bitness is employed: LP64 or ILP64, meaning that you will | |
5008 | be able to use more than 2 gigabytes of memory. This mode is | |
5009 | even more binary incompatible than USE_64_BIT_INT. You may not | |
5010 | be able to run the resulting executable in a 32-bit CPU at all or | |
5011 | you may need at least to reboot your OS to 64-bit mode. | |
5012 | ||
5013 | use64bitint (use64bits.U): | |
5014 | This variable conditionally defines the USE_64_BIT_INT symbol, | |
aaacdc8b | 5015 | and indicates that 64-bit integer types should be used |
c890dc6c JH |
5016 | when available. The minimal possible 64-bitness |
5017 | is employed, just enough to get 64-bit integers into Perl. | |
5018 | This may mean using for example "long longs", while your memory | |
5019 | may still be limited to 2 gigabytes. | |
781b178c | 5020 | |
5440bc8e JH |
5021 | usecrosscompile (Cross.U): |
5022 | This variable conditionally defines the USE_CROSS_COMPILE symbol, | |

5046 | ||
269a7913 | 5047 | usekernprocpathname (usekernprocpathname.U): |
2982a345 NC |
5048 | This variable, indicates that we can use sysctl with |
5049 | KERN_PROC_PATHNAME to get a full path for the executable, and hence | |
5050 | convert $^X to an absolute path. | |
5051 | ||
5bf26616 | 5052 | uselargefiles (uselfs.U): |
1baac590 JH |

781b178c JH |
5070 | usemultiplicity (usemultiplicity.U): |
5071 | This variable conditionally defines the MULTIPLICITY symbol, | |
5072 | and indicates that Perl should be built to use multiplicity. | |
5073 | ||
5074 | usemymalloc (mallocsrc.U): | |
5075 | This variable contains y if the malloc that comes with this package | |
5076 | is desired over the system's version of malloc. People often include | |
47e01c32 | 5077 | special versions of malloc for efficiency, but such versions are often |
781b178c JH |
5078 | less portable. See also mallocsrc and mallocobj. |
5079 | If this is 'y', then -lmalloc is removed from $libs. | |
5080 | ||
5081 | usenm (usenm.U): | |
5082 | This variable contains 'true' or 'false' depending whether the | |
5083 | nm extraction is wanted or not. | |

ae60cb46 NC |
5085 | usensgetexecutablepath (usensgetexecutablepath.U): |
5086 | This symbol, if defined, indicates that we can use _NSGetExecutablePath | |
5087 | and realpath to get a full path for the executable, and hence convert | |
5088 | $^X to an absolute path. | |
5089 | ||
781b178c JH |
5090 | useopcode (Extensions.U): |
5091 | This variable holds either 'true' or 'false' to indicate | |
5092 | whether the Opcode extension should be used. The sole | |
5093 | use for this currently is to allow an easy mechanism | |
5094 | for users to skip the Opcode extension from the Configure | |
5095 | command line. | |
5096 | ||
5097 | useperlio (useperlio.U): | |
5098 | This variable conditionally defines the USE_PERLIO symbol, | |
5099 | and indicates that the PerlIO abstraction should be | |
5100 | used throughout. | |
5101 | ||
5102 | useposix (Extensions.U): | |
5103 | This variable holds either 'true' or 'false' to indicate | |
5104 | whether the POSIX extension should be used. The sole | |
5105 | use for this currently is to allow an easy mechanism | |
5106 | for hints files to indicate that POSIX will not compile | |
5107 | on a particular system. | |
5108 | ||
9514c62b JH |
5109 | usereentrant (usethreads.U): |
5110 | This variable conditionally defines the USE_REENTRANT_API symbol, | |
5111 | which indicates that the thread code may try to use the various | |
5112 | _r versions of library functions. This is only potentially | |
5113 | meaningful if usethreads is set and is very experimental, it is | |
5114 | not even prompted for. | |
5115 | ||
df4c34dc | 5116 | userelocatableinc (bin.U): |
88fe16b2 NC |
5117 | This variable is set to true to indicate that perl should relocate |
5118 | @INC entries at runtime based on the path to the perl binary. | |
5119 | Any @INC paths starting ".../" are relocated relative to the directory | |
5120 | containing the perl binary, and a logical cleanup of the path is then | |
5121 | made around the join point (removing "dir/../" pairs) | |
5122 | ||

5123 | usesfio (d_sfio.U): |
5124 | This variable is set to true when the user agrees to use sfio. | |
5125 | It is set to false when sfio is not available or when the user | |
47e01c32 | 5126 | explicitly requests not to use sfio. It is here primarily so |
781b178c JH |
5127 | that command-line settings can override the auto-detection of |
5128 | d_sfio without running into a "WHOA THERE". | |
5129 | ||
5130 | useshrplib (libperl.U): | |
40814d06 MB |
5131 | This variable is set to 'true' if the user wishes |
5132 | to build a shared libperl, and 'false' otherwise. | |
781b178c | 5133 | |
df4c34dc MB |
5134 | usesitecustomize (d_sitecustomize.U): |
5135 | This variable is set to true when the user requires a mechanism that | |
5136 | allows the sysadmin to add entries to @INC at runtime. This variable | |
5137 | being set, makes perl run '$sitelib/sitecustomize.pl' at startup. | |
5138 | ||
781b178c JH |
5139 | usesocks (usesocks.U): |
5140 | This variable conditionally defines the USE_SOCKS symbol, | |
5141 | and indicates that Perl should be built to use SOCKS. | |

5150 | ||
781b178c JH |
5151 | usevfork (d_vfork.U): |
5152 | This variable is set to true when the user accepts to use vfork. | |
5153 | It is set to false when no vfork is available or when the user | |
47e01c32 | 5154 | explicitly requests not to use vfork. |
781b178c JH |
5155 | |
5156 | usrinc (usrinc.U): | |
5157 | This variable holds the path of the include files, which is | |

5328 | This may be useful for making a test installation of a new | |
5329 | version without disturbing the existing installation. | |
5330 | Setting versiononly is equivalent to setting installperl's -v option. | |
5331 | In particular, the non-versioned scripts and programs such as | |
5332 | a2p, c2ph, h2xs, pod2*, and perldoc are not installed | |
5333 | (see INSTALL for a more complete list). Nor are the man | |
5334 | pages installed. | |
5335 | Usually, this is undef. | |

5341 | voidflags (voidflags.U): | |
5342 | This variable contains the eventual value of the VOIDFLAGS symbol, | |
5343 | which indicates how much support of the void type is given by this | |
5344 | compiler. See VOIDFLAGS for more info. | |

5346 | xlibpth (libpth.U): | |
5347 | This variable holds extra path (space-separated) used to find | |
5348 | libraries on this platform, for example CPU-specific libraries | |
5349 | (on multi-CPU platforms) may be listed here. | |

5363 | zip (Loc.U): | |
5bf26616 | 5364 | This variable is used internally by Configure to determine the |
781b178c JH |
5365 | full pathname (if any) of the zip program. After Configure runs, |
5366 | the value is reset to a plain "zip" and is not useful. | |
