More ReadGRIB: Makefile.PL hacking
I want to distribute a third party C program called wgrib.c with my module. The C code needs to be compiled on the target platform when the module is installed on the target platform. Then my Perl code will need to be able to use it. *this isn't done yet but so far...* I found some good hints from /perlXStut/
# First I added a directory named lib-wgrib/ and moved the C source there.
# Then I added this to the generated Makefile.PL:
WriteMakefile(
[...]
MYEXTLIB => 'lib-wgriblib$(LIB_EXT)/',
);
sub MY::postamble {
'
$(MYEXTLIB) : lib-wgrib/Makefile
cd lib-wgrib && $ (MAKE) $ (PASSTHRU)
';
}
# in lib-wgrib/ I created another Makefile.PL:
use 5.006;
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
WriteMakefile(
NAME => 'Geo::ReadGRIB::lib-wgrib',
SKIP => 'qw[all static static_lib dynamic dynamic_lib]',
clean => {'Files' => 'liblib-wgrib$(LIB_EXT)'},
);
sub MY::const_cccmd {
'
CCCMD = $(CC) and other stuf TBD...
';
}
The trick here is that the MY:: subroutines override the standard libs that write sections of the Makefile created. You can see the names of these subs in the comments in the Makefile.
Still working...
