Alien::TinyCCx

A Perl Alien module for the Tiny C Compiler with extended symbol table management. This Perl distribution distributes and contains the build steps necessary to ensure that the Tiny C Compiler is available on your system.

INSTALLATION FROM SOURCES

If you are installing this directly from the sources on github, here are the steps you should take after downloading the tarball:

 cpan Module::Build File::ShareDir File::Which
 git submodule init
 git submodule update

Then follow the installation instructions in the next section.

INSTALLATION

I assume that if you are installing this module, you are doing so from CPAN. The usual Module::Build incantation shold work:

 perl Build.PL
 ./Build
 ./Build test
 ./Build install

On Windows, you should omit the ./ part of the Build commands.

DEVELOPMENT

If you want to work on Alien::TCCx itself, you will need to work with a clone of this repository, as well as a clone of the tinycc subrepository. To set everything up, create a Build file and run the devsetup command:

 perl Build.PL
 ./Build devsetup

The devsetup command is essentially equivalent to

 git submodule init
 git submodule update
 cp git-pre-commit-hook.pl .git/hooks/pre-commit

The last bit, the commit hook, helps me keep the Changes file up-to-date. :-)

Also, devclean and devrealclean will restore the contents of src/ to their original state, and should be used instead of Build command clean and realclean.
