Module::Build::Platform::MacOS(3perl)

Module::Build::Platform::MacOS3perl

Builder class for macos platforms

Overview

The sole purpose of this module is to inherit from "Module::Build::Base" and override a few methods. Please see Module::Build for the docs.

Overridden Methods

new()

MacPerl doesn't define $Config{sitelib} or $Config{sitearch} for some reason, but $Config{installsitelib} and $Config{installsitearch} are there. So we copy the install variables to the other location

make_executable()

On MacOS we set the file type and creator to MacPerl so it will run with a double-click.

dispatch()

Because there's no easy way to say "./Build test" on MacOS, if dispatch is called with no arguments and no @ARGV a dialog box will pop up asking what action to take and any extra arguments.

Default action is "test".

ACTION_realclean()

Need to unlock the Build program before deleting.
