I am using PL_FILES => { foo/bar.PL => foo/bar }, and foo/bar.PL uses a
lateral file (say, ugh.txt) on the distro to build the script foo/bar.
How can I force the dependency, so make knows it should rebuild foo/bar
when I change ugh.txt?
You should be able to add the dep in a postamble.
sub MY::postamble {
return qq[
foo/bar.PL :: ugh.txt
$(NOOP)
];
}
Unfortunately it is not working. Tried also foo/bar :: ugh.txt but
foo/bar is not rebuilt when I change ugh.txt
Ahh, it needs to be added as a dependency on the original statement. That is:
foo/bar :: foo/bar.PL pm_to_blib
$(PERLRUNINST) foo/bar.PL foo/bar
has to be changed to
foo/bar :: foo/bar.PL pm_to_blib ugh.txt
$(PERLRUNINST) foo/bar.PL foo/bar
Unfortunately the only way to do this is to override processPL() and do a s///
on the output of $self->SUPER::processPL.
package MY;
sub processPL {
my $self = shift;
my $make = $self->SUPER::processPL(@_);
$make =~ s{pm_to_blib}{pm_to_blib ugh.txt};
return $make;
}
This simple s/// will break if you have more than one PL file. Repairing it
is left as an exercise for the reader.
