1 Revision history for Perl extension ExtUtils::CBuilder.
7 - New location of libperl on Win32 when building core (RT #126632)
13 - Use warnings/strict on all modules.
19 - Impose deterministic order on cpp-definition options.
20 Heretofore, ExtUtils::CBuilder put cpp-definition options
21 into the cc command line in non-deterministic order. This
22 produced noise when diffing build logs.
23 Make this order deterministic. (RT #124106)
27 - Add tests for ascii-betical order in t/04-base.t.
33 - Added missing 'use Config' from 'android.pm' (thanks Debian community)

292 - On Windows, don't generate "mt" command when CRT is statically

296 supposed to be linking with a shared perl library or not. [Reini
299 - In link_executable() on Cygwin, trust $Config{ld} rather than using

312 0.23 - Sat Apr 19 22:28:03 2008
314 - Fixed some problems (some old, some new) with Strawberry Perl on
315 Windows. [Alberto Simo~es]
317 - Will now install in the core perl lib directory when the user's
318 perl is new enough to have us in core. [Yi Ma Mao]
320 0.22 - Fri Feb 8 21:52:21 2008
322 - Replaced the split_like_shell() method on Windows with a
323 near-no-op, which is probably more correct and has the benefit of
324 not messing up UNC paths. [John R. LoVerso, see
325 http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=26545]
327 - Fixed extra_compiler_flags on Windows, they were being
328 ignored. [Robert May]
330 0.21 - Tue Oct 30 06:46:01 2007
332 - Clean up perl_src path using Cwd::realpath(). Only affects usage
333 as part of the perl core.
335 - Protect $., $@, $!, $^E, and $? from any clobbering that might
336 occur in our DESTROY method. [Zefram]
338 - From bleadperl, a patch to clean up debug symbol files (.pdb for
339 VC++, .tds for BCC) when running have_compiler(). [Steve Hay &
342 0.19 - Sun May 13 14:29:18 2007
344 - When building as part of the perl core (so this is irrelevant for
345 people downloading from CPAN) we now try a little harder to find
346 the perl sources. [Jos Boumans]
348 - Fixed a part of the manifest thingy that got broken on 64-bit
349 Windows platforms in version 0.18. [Steve Hay, Jan Dubois]
351 0.18 - Mon Mar 26 21:29:09 2007
353 - Various OS/2 fixes:
354 + Put .LIB file near .DEF file
355 + Got library-file building working better
356 + Handled libperl_overrides better
359 - On Windows: embed manifest files in DLLs built with Module-Build
360 when using VC8. [Steve Hay]
362 - Added a workaround for a config error on dec_osf: the linker is
363 $Config{cc}, not $Config{ld}. [Jarkko Hietaniemi]
365 - Borland's compiler "response files" will not pass through macro
366 definitions that contain quotes. The quotes get stripped and there
367 seems to be no way to escape them. So we leave macros on the
368 command line. [Randy W. Sims]
370 0.18 Sat Mar 25 13:35:47 CST 2006
372 - Yet more fixes for arg_defines() on VMS. [Craig A. Berry and John
375 0.17 Wed Mar 15 22:46:15 CST 2006
377 - When we're being run from an uninstalled perl distribution
378 (e.g. one that's in the process of being built and tested), we
379 search for perl first in the current working directory. [Randy
382 - More fixing of the arg_defines() method on VMS. [Craig A. Berry and
385 0.16 Mon Mar 13 17:08:21 CST 2006
387 - Fix quoting of command line arguments on Windows. [Yitzchak
390 - Provided a custom arg_defines() on VMS that does essentially the
391 same thing for /define that version 0.14 did for /include. [Craig
394 - Documented the existing 'quiet' parameter, which silences the
395 printing of system() commands. [Suggested by Yitzchak
398 0.15 Mon Oct 3 17:10:32 CDT 2005
400 - Several OS/2 fixes have been made, including: 1) adding the
401 necessary version string to DLLs, 2) passing the executable's name
402 to 'ldopts' without the .exe extension, 3) avoiding calling 'env'
403 via the 'shrpenv' thingy, since it triggers a fork() bug. [Ilya
406 - Integrate a couple cleanup-related changes from bleadperl that
407 somehow never got into this copy. [Steve Hay]
409 - Added a new 'defines' parameter to compile(), which gives a
410 platform-independent way to specify various -Dfoo=bar (or the
411 equivalent) compiler defines. [Randy W. Sims]
413 0.14 Mon Sep 19 13:40:37 CDT 2005
415 - Several fixes have been made for VMS, including: 1) there can only
416 be one /include qualifier, so merge multiple /includes into one; 2)
417 make sure the executable is named the same way that dynaloader will
418 look for it; 3) make sure the option files for the exported symbols
419 and the PERLSHR image are passed properly to the linker. [John
422 0.13 Wed Aug 24 20:05:59 CDT 2005
424 - Several temporary files weren't being cleaned up during testing,
425 because the 'cleanup' mechanism was never properly implemented.
426 This is now fixed. [Steve Hay]
428 0.12 Mon May 30 16:40:10 CDT 2005
430 - In order to integrate into the perl core, patches were contributed
431 that a) put a $VERSION variable in each .pm file, b) add a 'quiet'
432 parameter to new() to shut up some of the command-echoing, c)
433 checks for the perl source headers in the CORE/ directory in the
434 perl source tree, not in the post-installation location, and d)
435 adjusts the CWD when running the regression tests under the perl
436 core. [Yitzchak Scott-Thoennes]
438 - Various parts of the code were looking for the CORE/ directory in
439 $Config{archlib}, $Config{installarchlib}, and $Config{archlibexp}.
440 Only the latter is correct, so we use that everywhere now.
443 - For Unix-ish platforms, link_executable() will now prefer
444 $Config{cc} to $Config{ld}, because that typically works
445 better. [Jarkko Hietaniemi and H.Merijn Brand]
447 - Prelinking (invoking ExtUtils::Mksymlists to create options-files)
448 is now only done when we're building dynamic libraries. [Yitzchak
451 0.11 Tue Apr 5 20:58:41 CDT 2005
453 - Added a licensing statement to CBuilder.pm. [Spotted by Chip
456 0.10 Mon Mar 14 20:18:19 CST 2005
458 - Split out a few simple routines that format how compile switches
459 are formatted, so that we can override them for platforms like VMS
460 where they're very different.
462 - Fix compile() and link() on VMS. [Help from Michael Schwern and
465 0.09 Tue Feb 8 17:57:41 CST 2005
467 - Fixed a broken link_executable() method on cygwin - it now uses
468 'gcc' instead of $Config{ld} for the linking, because the latter is
469 actually a shell script which calls a perl script which calls gcc
470 in a way that only works for creating shared libraries, not
473 0.08 Tue Jan 18 21:54:11 CST 2005
475 - Fixed a testing error in which I had the prototype wrong for the
476 main() function. [Jose Pedro Oliveira]
478 0.07 Wed Jan 12 21:50:34 CST 2005
480 - Added the link_executable() method, which provides the ability to
481 create standalone executables. This is NOT yet implemented on
482 Windows, and therefore the tests for it are skipped on Win32.
483 [Alberto Manuel Brandao Simoes]
485 - Integrated the latest split_like_shell() for Windows from
486 Module::Build (really need to find a better home for this code...),
487 which now does a much better job of handling quotes and backslashes
488 and so on. [Randy Sims]
490 - Fixed a couple of Windows problems related to the output-file name
491 in link(), and some clobbering of the 'include_dirs' parameter to
492 compile(). [Randy Sims]
494 0.06 Mon Dec 27 22:51:36 CST 2004
496 - Fixed a bug on Unix environments in which our work-around for
497 shell-commands like "FOO=BAR cc" (which is supposed to be turned
498 into "env FOO=BAR cc" to actually work) wasn't being called.
500 0.05 Wed Oct 13 23:09:09 CDT 2004
502 - Fixed a bug in split_like_shell() in which leading whitespace was
503 creating an empty word, manifesting as something like "gcc - no
504 such file or directory" during tests. [Spotted by Warren L. Dodge]
506 - Incorporate another split_like_shell() fix from Module::Build.
508 0.04 Sun Oct 10 00:31:08 CDT 2004
510 - Changed the split_like_shell() method to use the shellwords()
511 function from Text::ParseWords (a core module since 5.0), which
512 does a much better job than the split() we were using.
515 0.03 Fri May 14 23:12:23 CDT 2004
517 - Fixed minor problems with the Build.PL file, the module names
520 - The VMS module declared itself with the wrong package name.
523 0.02 Fri Feb 20 10:17:40 CST 2004
525 - Fixed a bug in .../Platform/Windows.pm, in which compile() was
526 ignoring an 'include_dirs' argument. [Randy Sims]
528 - Fixed a bug in .../Platform/Windows.pm, in which output files were
529 being created in the root directory \ when they should be created
530 in the current directory. [Randy Sims]
533 0.01 Mon Jan 12 08:12:35 CST 2004
535 - Original release, taken from Module::Build's C-building code, with
536 patching help from Randy Sims.
