87 =head1 NAME
89 Configure.pl - Parrot's configuration script
91 =head1 SYNOPSIS
93 % perl Configure.pl [options]
95 or:
97 % perl Configure.pl --file=/path/to/configuration/directives
99 =head1 DESCRIPTION
101 This is Parrot's configuration program. It should be run to create
102 the necessary system-specific files before building Parrot.
104 We now offer two interfaces to configuration:
106 =over 4
108 =item * Command-Line Interface
110 All configuration options are placed on the command-line. You may request
111 interactive configuration with the C<--ask> option. You may not use the
112 C<--file> option, as that is reserved for the Configuration-File interface.
114 =item * Configuration-File Interface
116 All configuration options are placed in a special configuration file whose
117 full path is invoked on the command-line as
118 C<--file=/path/to/configuration/directives> as the sole command-line option.
119 You may not request interactive configuration. For specific instructions, see
120 L</"CONFIGURATION-FILE INTERFACE"> below.
122 =back
124 =head2 General Options
126 =over 4
128 =item C<--help>
130 Prints out a description of the options and exits.
132 =item C<--version>
134 Prints out the version number of Configure.pl and exits.
136 =item C<--verbose>
138 Tells Configure.pl to output extra information about the configuration data it
139 is setting.
141 =item C<--verbose=2>
143 Tells Configure.pl to output information about i<every> setting added or
144 changed.
146 =item C<--verbose-step={N|regex}>
148 Run C<--verbose=2> for step number C<N> or matching description.
150 =item C<--fatal>
152 Tells Configure.pl to halt completely if any configuration step fails.
154 =item C<--fatal-step={init::alpha,inter::beta,auto::gamma}>
156 Tells Configure.pl to halt completely if any configuration step in
157 comma-delimited string individually fails.
159 =item C<--nomanicheck>
161 Tells Configure.pl not to run the MANIFEST check.
163 =item C<--prefix>
165 Sets the location where parrot will be installed.
167 =item C<--ask>
169 This turns on the user prompts during configuration. Available only in
170 Command-Line interface. Not available in Configuration-File interface.
172 =item C<--test>
174 Run certain tests along with F<Configure.pl>:
176 =over 4
178 =item C<--test=configure>
180 Run tests found in F<t/configure/> I<before> beginning configuration. These
181 tests demonstrate that Parrot's configuration tools will work properly once
182 configuration has begun.
184 =item C<--test=build>
186 Run tests found in F<t/steps/>, F<t/postconfigure/> and F<t/pharness>.
188 =item C<--test>
190 Run the tests described in C<--test=configure>, conduct configuration, then
191 run the tests described in C<--test=build>.
193 =back
195 =item C<--configure_trace>
197 Store the results of each configuration step in a Storable F<.sto> file on
198 disk, for later analysis by F<Parrot::Configure::Trace> methods.
200 =item Operating system-specific configuration options
202 =over 4
204 =item C<--hintsfile=filename>
206 Use filename as the hints file.
208 =item C<--darwin_no_fink>
210 On Darwin, do not probe for Fink libraries.
212 =item C<--darwin_no_macports>
214 On Darwin, do not probe for Macports libraries.
216 =back
218 =back
220 =head2 Compile Options
222 =over 4
224 =item C<--debugging=0>
226 Debugging is turned on by default. Use this to disable it.
228 =item C<--parrot_is_shared>
230 Link parrot dynamically.
232 =item C<--m=32>
234 Create a 32-bit executable on 64-architectures like x86_64. This
235 option appends C<-m32> to compiler and linker programs and does
236 C<s/lib64/lib/g> on link flags.
238 This option is experimental. See F<config/init/defaults.pm> for more.
240 =item C<--profile>
242 Turn on profiled compile (gcc only for now)
244 =item C<--cage>
246 [CAGE] compile includes many additional warnings
248 =item C<--optimize>
250 Add Perl 5's C<$Config{optimize}> to the compiler flags.
252 =item C<--optimize=flags>
254 Add C<flags> to the compiler flags.
256 =item C<--inline>
258 Tell Configure that the compiler supports C<inline>.
260 =item C<--cc=(compiler)>
262 Specify which compiler to use.
264 =item C<--ccflags=(flags)>
266 Use the given compiler flags.
268 =item C<--ccwarn=(flags)>
270 Use the given compiler warning flags.
272 =item C<--cxx=(compiler)>
274 Specify which C++ compiler to use (for ICU).
276 =item C<--libs=(libs)>
278 Use the given libraries.
280 =item C<--link=(linker)>
282 Specify which linker to use.
284 =item C<--linkflags=(flags)>
286 Use the given linker flags
288 =item C<--ld=(linker)>
290 Specify which loader to use for shared libraries.
292 =item C<--ldflags=(flags)>
294 Use the given loader flags for shared libraries
296 =item C<--disable-rpath>
298 Specify that rpath should not be included in linking flags. With this
299 configuration option, you must append the library build directory
300 (usually blib/lib) to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable (or your
301 platform equivalent). This option is primarily used for building Linux
302 packages.
304 =item C<--lex=(lexer)>
306 Specify which lexer to use.
308 =item C<--yacc=(parser)>
310 Specify which parser to use.
312 =item C<--define=val1[,val2]>
314 Generate "#define PARROT_DEF_VAL1 1" ... entries in has_header.h. Currently
315 needed to use inet_aton for systems that lack inet_pton:
317 --define=inet_aton
319 =item C<--no-line-directives>
321 Disables the creation of C #line directives when generating C from PMCs and
322 ops. Useful when debugging internals.
324 =back
326 =head2 Parrot Options
328 =over 4
330 =item C<--intval=(type)>
332 Use the given type for C<INTVAL>.
334 =item C<--floatval=(type)>
336 Use the given type for C<FLOATVAL>.
338 =item C<--opcode=(type)>
340 Use the given type for opcodes.
342 =item C<--ops=(files)>
344 Use the given ops files.
346 =item C<--cgoto=0>
348 Don't build cgoto core. This is recommended when you are short of memory.
350 =item C<--jitcapable>
352 Use JIT system.
354 =item C<--buildframes>
356 Dynamically build NCI call frames.
358 =item C<--execcapable>
360 Use JIT to emit a native executable.
362 =back
364 =head2 International Components For Unicode (ICU) Options
366 =over 4
368 =item C<--icu-config=/path/to/icu-config>
370 Use the specified icu-config script to determine the necessary ICU options.
372 Use --icu-config=none to disable the autodetect feature. Parrot will then be
373 build without ICU.
375 B<Note:> If you specify another ICU option than --icu-config, the autodetection
376 functionality will be disabled.
378 =item C<--icushared=(linkeroption)>
380 Linker command to link against ICU library.
382 E.g.
384 --icushared='-L /opt/openoffice/program -licudata -licuuc'
386 (The libs in openoffice are actually version 2.2 and do not work)
388 =item C<--icuheaders=(header_dir)>
390 Location of ICU header files without the /unicode suffix.
392 E.g.
394 --icuheaders='/home/lt/icu/'
396 =back
398 =head2 Other Options
400 =over 4
402 =item C<--maintainer>
404 Use this option if you want imcc's parser and lexer files to be generated.
405 Needs a working parser and lexer.
407 =back
409 =head1 CONFIGURATION-FILE INTERFACE
411 In the Configuration-File interface, unlike the Command-Line interface, you
412 may delete configuration steps or run them in an order different from that
413 listed in Parrot::Configure::Step::List.
415 A configuration file is a plain-text file located somewhere in or under your
416 top-level Parrot directory. Unless indicated otherwise, all lines in this
417 file must have no leading whitespace. As in Perl 5, lines beginning with C<#>
418 marks are comments and are ignored during parsing of the file. Unlike Perl 5,
419 you may not begin comments in the middle of a line.
421 The configuration file must contain these three sections:
423 =over 4
425 =item * variables
427 =over 4
429 =item *
431 Section begins with line C<=variables> and must be followed by at least one
432 blank line. All other content in this section is optional.
434 =item *
436 Section may contain one or more I<key=value> pairs which assign strings to
437 variables much in the way that you would do in a shell script wrapping around
438 F<Configure.pl>.
440 =variables
442 CC=/usr/bin/gcc
443 CX=/usr/bin/g++
445 So if you typically invoked F<Configure.pl> by wrapping it in a shell script
446 for the purpose of setting environmental variables used in options, like this:
448 CC="/usr/bin/gcc"
449 CX="/usr/bin/g++"
450 /usr/local/bin/perl Configure.pl \
451 --cc="$CC" \
452 --cxx="$CX" \
453 --link="$CX" \
454 --ld="$CX"
456 ... you would now place the assignments to C<CC> and C<CX> in the
457 I<=variables> section of the configuration file (as above).
459 =back
461 =item * general
463 =over 4
465 =item *
467 Section begins with line C<=general> and must be followed by at least one
468 blank line. All other content in this section is optional.
470 =item *
472 This section is the location recommended for listing options whose impact is
473 not conceptually limited to a single step. It is also the location where the
474 variables defined in the I<=variables> section are assigned to particular
475 Parrot configuration options. Entries in this section must be either
476 I<option=value> pairs or be options which will be assigned a true value.
478 cc=$CC
479 cxx=$CX
480 link=$CX
481 ld=/usr/bin/g++
482 verbose
484 Note that when the value is a variable defined in the I<=variables> section,
485 it must be preceded by a C<$> sign.
487 =item *
489 You I<may> list options here which are I<conceptually> limited to a single
490 configuration step. For example, if you wished to skip validation of the
491 F<MANIFEST> during configuration and to configure without ICU, you I<could>,
492 in this section, say:
494 nomanicheck
495 without-icu
497 However, as we shall quickly see, it's conceptually clearer to place these
498 values next to those configuration steps that actually use them.
500 =back
502 =item * steps
504 =over 4
506 =item *
508 Section begins with line C<=steps> and must be followed by at least one
509 blank line, in turn followed by the list of configuration steps, followed by
510 another blank line followed by a line C<=cut> (just like POD).
512 =item *
514 The order in which you list the steps is the order in which they will be
515 executed. If you delete a step from the canonical list or comment a step out,
516 it will not be executed.
519 auto::snprintf
520 # auto::perldoc
521 auto::ctags
524 In the above example, step C<auto::perldoc> will be completely skipped. You
525 will not see it listed as C<....skipped> in F<Configure.pl>'s output; it will
526 simply not be there at all.
528 =item *
530 This is the recommended location to call options whose impact is
531 I<conceptually> limited to a single configuration step. Type the
532 configuration step's name, type a whitespace, type the option (with no leading
533 C<-->) and repeat as needed for additional step-specific options.
535 init::manifest nomanicheck
538 =item *
540 This is also the location to call options whose impact is limited to one step
541 at a time but which may be applied to more than one configuration step. The
542 C<fatal-step> and C<verbose-step> options are the best examples of this case.
543 Rather than requesting verbose output from all configuration steps, you may,
544 for example, wish to designate only a few steps for verbose output:
547 init::hints verbose-step
548 init::headers
549 inter::progs fatal-step
551 auto::gcc verbose-step
554 In the above example, F<Configure.pl> will grind to a halt if C<inter::progs>
555 does not complete successfully. You will get verbose output only from
556 C<init::hints> and C<auto::gcc>; the other 60+ steps will be terse.
558 =item *
560 Nothing prevents you from listing general options anywhere in this section.
562 init::manifest nomanicheck cc=$CC ld=/usr/bin/g++ verbose
563 init::defaults
566 That will work -- but why would you want to do something that messy?

574 Ignoring leading whitespace, this is an example of a correctly formed
575 configuration file.
