3 README.win32 - Customise and build Sys::Syslog with Win32 EventLog support
4

6DESCRIPTION
7
8 This package includes support for the Win32 Event log. This requires
9 building a message file and then compiling it and linking it into the
10 final .DLL produced by MakeMaker. The default message text file used
11 by Sys::Syslog is PerlLog.mc, located in the win32/ subdirectory.
12
13 If the message file is updated then you need to go in the win32/
14 subdirectory and run the "compile.pl" command to update the relevent
15 files. Note that Sys::Syslog::Win32 is built by this process.
16
17 The following files are in the win32 directory:
18
19 PerlLog.mc -- Message file, change this if you change anything.
20 compile.pl -- Compile the message file and produce Win32.pm and
21 PerlLog.RES. Requires that mc.exe and rc.exe are
22 in the path.
23
24 PerlLog.RES -- Precompiled resource file, used when building the DLL
25 Win32.pm -- Generated Win32 module for working with the resource file
26
27 When building win32/PerlLog.RES will be linked into the final XS file,
28 and win32/Win32.pm will be copied to lib/Sys/Syslog/Win32.pm, which will
29 then be installed by MakeMaker as per normal.
