Re: [Po4a-devel]Some details
I've been reading a little about ExtUtils::MakeMaker and
I've seen that there's another project (Module::Build) that aims to
replace this. It's here: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Module-Build/
I also found this introductory article, that tells the advantages of
Module::Build, and some small steps for migrating from
ExtUtils::MakeMaker, http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2003/02/12/module1.html
This aims to be completely perl-based, so there aren't intermediate
Makefiles and it's used this way:
perl Build.PL
./Build
./Build test
./Build install
It's very similar to the current process, but it frees the Makefile name.
This way we could have the main Makefile call this script, and do all the
other things (and we could forget about the bootstrap, because this main
Makefile would do it all).
I think it could be a good enhancement. If you like the idea but don't
have the time to watch it, I could try to test it.
The right solution would be to get the manpage and mo file generation out of
the regular Makefile, and include them properly to the Perl build system.
If you want to look at this issue, you're more than welcome.
Thanks in advance, Mt.
