- This is a CPAN distribution of the venerable MakeMaker module. It has been
- backported to work with Perl 5.005_03 and up.
-
- If you do not have a make program, several can be found...
-
- Most Unixen: The make utility which comes with your operating system
- should work fine. If you don't have one, GNU make is recommended,
- most others (Sun, BSD, etc...) will work fine as well.
-
- Windows: nmake or dmake will work. GNU make will *not*.

-
- VMS: MMS or the free MadGoat MaKe utility (MMK) will work.

-
- If all else fails there is a pure Perl version of make available on
- CPAN which should work on most Unixen.

-
- PLEASE NOTE: This distribution does not include the xsubpp or typemap
- programs. They are extremely specific to your version or Perl, so
- MakeMaker will simply use the one which came with your copy of Perl.
- Do not delete your old ExtUtils/ directory. An upgraded version of xsubpp
- can be found in the ExtUtils::ParseXS module.
-
- Known Good Systems:
-
- Every stable MakeMaker release is tested at least on:
-
- MacOS X
- Linux/x86
- ActivePerl on Windows 98
- Cygwin on Windows 98
- OpenVMS
-
- Covering the major portability flavors MakeMaker has to cover.
- (I'm always on the lookout for DJGPP, Solaris, *BSD and OS/2 users)
-
-
- Known Problems:
-
- (See http://rt.cpan.org for a full list of open problems.)
-
- ActivePerl likely broken if installed in C:\Program Files or other
- prefix with a space in the name.
-
- Using the MMS utility on VMS causes lots of extra newlines. Unknown
- why this is so, might be a bug in MMS. Problem not seen with MMK.
-
- MacOS Classic is likely broken.

- See TODO for details.
