DynaLoader
SYNOPSIS
"mkbootstrap"
DESCRIPTION
Mkbootstrap typically gets called from an extension Make
file.
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 situa
tions.
If @DynaLoader::dl_resolve_using contains "-L*" or "-l*"
entries then Mkbootstrap will automatically add a dl_find_
file() call to the generated "*.bs" file.
