NAME
ExtUtils::CppGuess - guess C++ compiler and flags
SYNOPSIS
With Extutils::MakeMaker:
use ExtUtils::CppGuess;
my $guess = ExtUtils::CppGuess->new;
WriteMakefile
( # MakeMaker args,
$guess->makemaker_options,
);
With Module::Build:
my $guess = ExtUtils::CppGuess->new;
my $build = Module::Build->new
( # Module::Build arguments
$guess->module_build_options,
);
$build->create_build_script;
DESCRIPTION
"ExtUtils::CppGuess" attempts to guess the system's C++ compiler that is
compatible with the C compiler that your perl was built with.
It can generate the necessary options to the Module::Build constructor
or to ExtUtils::MakeMaker's "WriteMakefile" function.
METHODS
new
Creates a new "ExtUtils::CppGuess" object. Takes the path to the C
compiler as the "cc" argument, but falls back to the value of
$Config{cc}, which should be what you want anyway.
You can specify "extra_compiler_flags" and "extra_linker_flags" (as
strings) which will be merged in with the auto-detected ones.
module_build_options
Returns the correct options to the constructor of "Module::Build". These
are:
extra_compiler_flags
extra_linker_flags
makemaker_options
Returns the correct options to the "WriteMakefile" function of
"ExtUtils::MakeMaker". These are:
CCFLAGS
dynamic_lib => { OTHERLDFLAGS => ... }
If you specify the extra compiler or linker flags in the constructor,
they'll be merged into "CCFLAGS" or "OTHERLDFLAGS" respectively.
is_gcc
Returns true if the detected compiler is in the gcc family.
is_msvc
Returns true if the detected compiler is in the MS VC family.
add_extra_compiler_flags
Takes a string as argument that is added to the string of extra compiler
flags.
add_extra_linker_flags
Takes a string as argument that is added to the string of extra linker
flags.
