Methods to Produce the Makefile

ExtUtils::MM_Unix has some additional methods that are called in sequence to produce a Makefile. The list of methods is specified in the array @ExtUtils::MakeMaker::MM_Sections, one method per section. The routines are all called the same way and so are just listed here. Each method returns the string to be put into its section of the Makefile.

The methods are called in the order that they are listed in the following table, reading down the columns:

post_initialize	top_targets	realclean
const_config	linkext	dist_basics
constants	dlsyms	dist_core
const_loadlibs	dynamic	dist_dir
const_cccmd	dynamic_bs	dist_test
tool_autosplit	dynamic_lib	dist_ci
tool_xsubpp	static	install
tools_other	static_lib	force
dist	installpm	perldepend
macro	installpm_x	makefile
depend	manifypods	staticmake ...
