wml::mod::MakeMaker - A Makefile generator

       The first three attributes are mandatory.

       package
           The name of the package

       version
           Its version number

       modules
           List of modules to build and install. This is a space separated list  of  filenames.  Modules  should
           reside in a sub-directory to be compliant with actual file hierarchy. For instance, the declaration

                modules="math/log.tmpl math/exp.tmpl"

           tells  that  after  compilation, there are two modules which are "math/log.tmpl" and "math/exp.tmpl".
           This modules will be installed to "LibDir/include/math/log.tmpl" and "LibDir/include/math/exp.tmpl".

           These modules will then be called in a WML file by

               #use tmpl::math::log
               #use tmpl::math::exp

           Source files for these modules are obtained by replacing the suffix by .src.

       src-ext
           Defines an alternate suffix for the source files.

       man-ext
           Section number of the manual in which man files are put. Default is 3.

       extradistfiles
           Space separated list of files to include in  a  distribution.  By  default,  all  source  files  plus
           MakeMaker.wml, Makefile.wml,  README and shtool are included in a distribution.

       This include file provides an easy way to write a Makefile to distribute your own WML modules. It is
       inspired by the "ExtUtils::MakeMaker" Perl module.

   Defaulttargetsmakeall
           This is the default target. It will build all include files and their documentation.

       makeinstall
           Install include files and documentation in the locations given by ``wml -V2''.

       makeclean
           Remove files generated by make.

       makedistclean
           Like makeclean, plus remove the Makefile too.

       makedist
           Build  a  distribution.  Should  only be used by the module maintainer.  If there is a MANIFEST file,
           then the list of files to include is taken from this file. Otherwise the tarball contains all  source
           files, plus MakeMaker.wml, Makefile.wml, shtool and README if these files exist.

   Overridingdefaulttargets
       To  build  the  Makefile,  all  targets  are put in separate buffers during pass 3, and those buffers are
       diverted by pass 5. You can override this defaukt target by redefining buffer contents.  Buffer names are
       explicit:

           MK_ALL MK_INSTALL MK_CLEAN MK_DISTCLEAN MK_CONFIG MK_RELEASE

   Definingnewtargets
       The MK_USER is empty and devoted to this task.

        <write-makefile
           package="log"
           version="3.14"
           modules="math/log.tmpl"
           source-ext="exp"
        >

       This  will  build  the tmpl::math::log include module from the math/log.exp source file. This source file
       will also produce the tmpl::math::log(3) manpage.

       wml::mod::MakeMaker - A Makefile generator

       Please do _not_ use a ".wml" suffix for your modules, they should be reserved for  official  WML  modules
       shipped with WML. You may instead put your initials or anything else.
