ExtUtils::CppGuess (3pm)

With Extutils::MakeMaker:

    use ExtUtils::CppGuess;

    my $guess = ExtUtils::CppGuess->new;

    WriteMakefile
      ( # MakeMaker args,
        $guess->makemaker_options,
        );

With Module::Build:

my $guess = ExtUtils::CppGuess->new;

my $build = Module::Build->new ( # Module::Build arguments $guess->module_build_options, ); $build->create_build_script;

\*(C`ExtUtils::CppGuess\*(C' attempts to guess the system's \*(C+ compiler that is compatible with the C compiler that your perl was built with.

It can generate the necessary options to the Module::Build constructor or to ExtUtils::MakeMaker's \*(C`WriteMakefile\*(C' function.

new

Creates a new \*(C`ExtUtils::CppGuess\*(C' object. Takes the path to the C compiler as the \*(C`cc\*(C' argument, but falls back to the value of $Config{cc}, which should be what you want anyway.

You can specify \*(C`extra_compiler_flags\*(C' and \*(C`extra_linker_flags\*(C' (as strings) which will be merged in with the auto-detected ones.

module_build_options

Returns the correct options to the constructor of \*(C`Module::Build\*(C'. These are:

extra_compiler_flags extra_linker_flags

makemaker_options

Returns the correct options to the \*(C`WriteMakefile\*(C' function of \*(C`ExtUtils::MakeMaker\*(C'. These are:

CCFLAGS dynamic_lib => { OTHERLDFLAGS => ... }

If you specify the extra compiler or linker flags in the constructor, they'll be merged into \*(C`CCFLAGS\*(C' or \*(C`OTHERLDFLAGS\*(C' respectively.

is_gcc

Returns true if the detected compiler is in the gcc family.

is_msvc

Returns true if the detected compiler is in the \s-1MS\s0 \s-1VC\s0 family.

add_extra_compiler_flags

Takes a string as argument that is added to the string of extra compiler flags.

add_extra_linker_flags

Takes a string as argument that is added to the string of extra linker flags.
