49 Fixed:
50
51 - Impose deterministic order on cpp-definition options.
52 Heretofore, ExtUtils::CBuilder put cpp-definition options
53 into the cc command line in non-deterministic order. This
54 produced noise when diffing build logs.

222 - handle c compiler and c++ compiler separately
223 (adds requirement for IPC::Cmd) [Jens Rehsack]

227 get unique file name for checking for compiler
228 [Jens Rehsack]
229
230 - Code base modernization and substantial code coverage improvments
231 [Jim Keenan]

304
305 - No changes from 0.25_01

308
309 - Changed test library to Test::More
310
311 - Added tests for have_compiler
312
313 - Skips tests that need a compiler if have_compiler is false
314
315 - have_compiler will try to compile in the current directory
316 if compiling in tmpdir fails for whatever reason
317
3180.25 - Fri Jun 26 16:18:13 EDT 2009
319
320 - Slight diagnostic improvements in link.t
321
3220.24_01 - Sun Mar 8 14:50:10 2009
323
324 - On Windows, don't generate "mt" command when CRT is statically
325 linked. [Jan Dubois]
326
327 - On Cygwin, examine $Config{useshrplib} to see whether we're
328 supposed to be linking with a shared perl library or not. [Reini
329 Urban]
330
331 - In link_executable() on Cygwin, trust $Config{ld} rather than using
332 $Config{cc} for linking. [Reini Urban]
333

335
3360.24 - Fri Aug 15 22:01:48 2008
337
338 - Added 'gnu' and 'gnukfreebsd' as Unix variants. [Niko Tyni]
339
340 - Brought in some VMS fixes from bleadperl: "Correct and complete
341 CBuilder's handling of external libraries when linking on VMS."
342 [Craig Berry]
343
3440.23 - Sat Apr 19 22:28:03 2008
345
346 - Fixed some problems (some old, some new) with Strawberry Perl on
347 Windows. [Alberto Simo~es]
348
349 - Will now install in the core perl lib directory when the user's
350 perl is new enough to have us in core. [Yi Ma Mao]
351
3520.22 - Fri Feb 8 21:52:21 2008
353
354 - Replaced the split_like_shell() method on Windows with a
355 near-no-op, which is probably more correct and has the benefit of
356 not messing up UNC paths. [John R. LoVerso, see
357 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=26545]
358
359 - Fixed extra_compiler_flags on Windows, they were being
360 ignored. [Robert May]
361
3620.21 - Tue Oct 30 06:46:01 2007
363
364 - Clean up perl_src path using Cwd::realpath(). Only affects usage
365 as part of the perl core.
366
367 - Protect $., $@, $!, $^E, and $? from any clobbering that might
368 occur in our DESTROY method. [Zefram]
369
370 - From bleadperl, a patch to clean up debug symbol files (.pdb for
371 VC++, .tds for BCC) when running have_compiler(). [Steve Hay &
372 Steve Peters]
373
3740.19 - Sun May 13 14:29:18 2007
375
376 - When building as part of the perl core (so this is irrelevant for
377 people downloading from CPAN) we now try a little harder to find
378 the perl sources. [Jos Boumans]
379
380 - Fixed a part of the manifest thingy that got broken on 64-bit
381 Windows platforms in version 0.18. [Steve Hay, Jan Dubois]
382
3830.18 - Mon Mar 26 21:29:09 2007
384
385 - Various OS/2 fixes:
386 + Put .LIB file near .DEF file
387 + Got library-file building working better
388 + Handled libperl_overrides better
389 [Ilya Zakharevich]
390
391 - On Windows: embed manifest files in DLLs built with Module-Build
392 when using VC8. [Steve Hay]
393
394 - Added a workaround for a config error on dec_osf: the linker is
395 $Config{cc}, not $Config{ld}. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
396
397 - Borland's compiler "response files" will not pass through macro
398 definitions that contain quotes. The quotes get stripped and there
399 seems to be no way to escape them. So we leave macros on the
400 command line. [Randy W. Sims]
401
4020.18 Sat Mar 25 13:35:47 CST 2006
403
404 - Yet more fixes for arg_defines() on VMS. [Craig A. Berry and John
405 E. Malmberg]
406
4070.17 Wed Mar 15 22:46:15 CST 2006
408
409 - When we're being run from an uninstalled perl distribution
410 (e.g. one that's in the process of being built and tested), we
411 search for perl first in the current working directory. [Randy
412 Sims]
413
414 - More fixing of the arg_defines() method on VMS. [Craig A. Berry and
415 John E. Malmberg]
416
4170.16 Mon Mar 13 17:08:21 CST 2006
418
419 - Fix quoting of command line arguments on Windows. [Yitzchak
420 Scott-Thoennes]
421
422 - Provided a custom arg_defines() on VMS that does essentially the
423 same thing for /define that version 0.14 did for /include. [Craig
424 A. Berry]
425
426 - Documented the existing 'quiet' parameter, which silences the
427 printing of system() commands. [Suggested by Yitzchak
428 Scott-Thoennes]
429
4300.15 Mon Oct 3 17:10:32 CDT 2005
431
432 - Several OS/2 fixes have been made, including: 1) adding the
433 necessary version string to DLLs, 2) passing the executable's name
434 to 'ldopts' without the .exe extension, 3) avoiding calling 'env'
435 via the 'shrpenv' thingy, since it triggers a fork() bug. [Ilya
436 Zakharevich]
437
438 - Integrate a couple cleanup-related changes from bleadperl that
439 somehow never got into this copy. [Steve Hay]
440
441 - Added a new 'defines' parameter to compile(), which gives a
a9ccbcd7 442 platform-independent way to specify various -Dfoo=bar (or the
71b9be80
DG
443 equivalent) compiler defines. [Randy W. Sims]
444
4450.14 Mon Sep 19 13:40:37 CDT 2005
446
447 - Several fixes have been made for VMS, including: 1) there can only
448 be one /include qualifier, so merge multiple /includes into one; 2)
449 make sure the executable is named the same way that dynaloader will
450 look for it; 3) make sure the option files for the exported symbols
451 and the PERLSHR image are passed properly to the linker. [John
452 E. Malmberg]
453
4540.13 Wed Aug 24 20:05:59 CDT 2005
455
456 - Several temporary files weren't being cleaned up during testing,
457 because the 'cleanup' mechanism was never properly implemented.
458 This is now fixed. [Steve Hay]
459
4600.12 Mon May 30 16:40:10 CDT 2005
461
462 - In order to integrate into the perl core, patches were contributed
463 that a) put a $VERSION variable in each .pm file, b) add a 'quiet'
464 parameter to new() to shut up some of the command-echoing, c)
465 checks for the perl source headers in the CORE/ directory in the
466 perl source tree, not in the post-installation location, and d)
467 adjusts the CWD when running the regression tests under the perl
468 core. [Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes]
469
470 - Various parts of the code were looking for the CORE/ directory in
471 $Config{archlib}, $Config{installarchlib}, and $Config{archlibexp}.
472 Only the latter is correct, so we use that everywhere now.
473 [Curt Tilmes]
474
475 - For Unix-ish platforms, link_executable() will now prefer
476 $Config{cc} to $Config{ld}, because that typically works
477 better. [Jarkko Hietaniemi and H.Merijn Brand]
478
479 - Prelinking (invoking ExtUtils::Mksymlists to create options-files)
480 is now only done when we're building dynamic libraries. [Yitzchak
481 Scott-Thoennes]
482
4830.11 Tue Apr 5 20:58:41 CDT 2005
484
485 - Added a licensing statement to CBuilder.pm. [Spotted by Chip
486 Salzenberg]
487
4880.10 Mon Mar 14 20:18:19 CST 2005
489
490 - Split out a few simple routines that format how compile switches
491 are formatted, so that we can override them for platforms like VMS
492 where they're very different.
493
494 - Fix compile() and link() on VMS. [Help from Michael Schwern and
495 Peter Prymmer]
496
4970.09 Tue Feb 8 17:57:41 CST 2005
498
499 - Fixed a broken link_executable() method on cygwin - it now uses
500 'gcc' instead of $Config{ld} for the linking, because the latter is
501 actually a shell script which calls a perl script which calls gcc
502 in a way that only works for creating shared libraries, not
503 executables.
504
5050.08 Tue Jan 18 21:54:11 CST 2005
506
507 - Fixed a testing error in which I had the prototype wrong for the
508 main() function. [Jose Pedro Oliveira]
509
5100.07 Wed Jan 12 21:50:34 CST 2005
511
512 - Added the link_executable() method, which provides the ability to
513 create standalone executables. This is NOT yet implemented on
514 Windows, and therefore the tests for it are skipped on Win32.
515 [Alberto Manuel Brandao Simoes]
516
517 - Integrated the latest split_like_shell() for Windows from
518 Module::Build (really need to find a better home for this code...),
519 which now does a much better job of handling quotes and backslashes
520 and so on. [Randy Sims]
521
522 - Fixed a couple of Windows problems related to the output-file name
523 in link(), and some clobbering of the 'include_dirs' parameter to
524 compile(). [Randy Sims]
525
5260.06 Mon Dec 27 22:51:36 CST 2004
527
528 - Fixed a bug on Unix environments in which our work-around for
529 shell-commands like "FOO=BAR cc" (which is supposed to be turned
530 into "env FOO=BAR cc" to actually work) wasn't being called.
531
5320.05 Wed Oct 13 23:09:09 CDT 2004
533
534 - Fixed a bug in split_like_shell() in which leading whitespace was
535 creating an empty word, manifesting as something like "gcc - no
536 such file or directory" during tests. [Spotted by Warren L. Dodge]
537
538 - Incorporate another split_like_shell() fix from Module::Build.
539
5400.04 Sun Oct 10 00:31:08 CDT 2004
541
542 - Changed the split_like_shell() method to use the shellwords()
543 function from Text::ParseWords (a core module since 5.0), which
544 does a much better job than the split() we were using.
545
546
