ExtUtils::Mkbootstrap(3pm)                      Perl Programmers Reference Guide                      ExtUtils::Mkbootstrap(3pm)



NAME
       ExtUtils::Mkbootstrap - make a bootstrap file for use by DynaLoader

SYNOPSIS
       "Mkbootstrap"

DESCRIPTION
       Mkbootstrap typically gets called from an extension Makefile.

       There is no "*.bs" file supplied with the extension. Instead, there may be a *_BS file which has code for the special
       cases, like posix for berkeley db on the NeXT.

       This file will get parsed, and produce a maybe empty @DynaLoader::dl_resolve_using array for the current architecture.
       That will be extended by $BSLOADLIBS, which was computed by ExtUtils::Liblist::ext(). If this array still is empty, we do
       nothing, else we write a .bs file with an @DynaLoader::dl_resolve_using array.

       The *_BS file can put some code into the generated "*.bs" file by placing it in $bscode. This is a handy 'escape'
       mechanism that may prove useful in complex situations.

       If @DynaLoader::dl_resolve_using contains "-L*" or "-l*" entries then Mkbootstrap will automatically add a dl_findfile()
       call to the generated "*.bs" file.
