Hi, I searched for a good document on how to write a makefile but didn't find anything satisfactory. I would like to write something similar to what is written below.
I want that my_pgm.PL takes the specific modules that are specified in PM. note that it is better not to specify the directory of the modules since i might not want to take all modules in a directory and relevant subdirectories. my_pgm.PL takes some file paths as argument the first 2 ones are files that it reads from and the last 2 files are the files that it writes into. perl Makefile.PL Writing Makefile for Merge make nothing happens at compilation. In addition to your solution, any example of a makefile or a good tutorial on this is welcome. I used programming in perl but not very helpful to solve my problem look forward to your reply ------------------------------------------- use ExtUtils::MakeMaker; WriteMakefile( NAME => 'my_name', PM => { 'path_to_1stpmFile' => '1stpmFile.pm', 'path_to_2ndpmFile' => '2ndpmFile.pm', }, PL_FILES => { 'my_pgm.PL path_to_fileR1 path_to_fileR2 path_to_fileW1 path_to_fileW2' => 'my_pgm.PL' } ); --------------------------------- Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell?
