Hi,
I'm trying to get MakeMaker to create a Makefile for me which should do
the following, but I fail in one part:
* Put my Perl modules to $prefix/sbin
Uhh, Perl modules in sbin? You sure?
Well, that's because of "historical" reasons, the orginal .pl file was
there, so I placed the modules there as well for a start. But I'm
happy to be convinced to place it somewhere else when I have sorted
out the other trouble...
* Put my Perl script to $prefix/sbin as well
* Put some binary file to $prefix/bin
The last step doesn't work since the binary files end up in $prefix/sbin
as well. I haven't found a way to tell MakeMaker to put real binaries in
a specific directories, despite I have set
INSTALLSITEBIN => '$(PREFIX)/bin'
in my Makefile.PL (INSTALLDIRS is 'site').
Am I asking MakeMaker here something unreasonable, or what the heck am I
doing wrong? ;-)
Posting to the wrong list for starters. :) MakeMaker is discussed on
makemaker@perl.org
My bad.
Without seeing the rest of the Makefile.PL there's not much which can be
done. Can you show us the whole file?
Sure; you will immediately notice that I'm not particular familiar
with MakeMaker and most of the settings are just playing around and
see what works :)
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
my @bin = ('bin/glite-iperfd');
WriteMakefile(
NAME => 'GLite::E2emonit::Iperf',
VERSION_FROM => 'lib/GLite/E2emonit/Iperf.pm',
EXE_FILES => [EMAIL PROTECTED],
NORECURS => 1, # don't recurse into sub-dirs to find
other Makefile.PL's
PREREQ_PM => {'Test::More' => 0.62,
'Test::Exception' => 0.23,
'Test::MockObject' => 1.07 },
INSTALLSITEARCH => '$(PREFIX)/sbin',
INSTALLARCHLIB => '$(PREFIX)/sbin',
INSTALLVENDORARCH => '',
INSTALLPRIVLIB => '$(PREFIX)/sbin',
INSTALLSITELIB => '$(PREFIX)/sbin',
INSTALLSCRIPT => '$(PREFIX)/sbin',
INSTALLSITEBIN => '$(PREFIX)/bin',
);
Note, the binary file I want to place in 'bin' is not mentioned here.
I originally had placed it in EXE_FILES entry, but realised that that
is not meant for binaries, but Perl scripts (at least that's how I
understand it). The 'glite-iperfd' btw is not a Perl script, but a
shell script.
MakeMaker just takes all files from ./bin (that's where also my binary
file is located) and places them into $prefix/sbin.
Cheers,
Florian.
