Yes, thanks Randy, $self->{DIR} in MM is the one. Unfortunately it's not
possible to override MM::init_dirscan(), and I don't see any other
overridable target in MM_Unix immediately following init_dirscan() so I
can adjust $self->{DIR}.
If I pass DIR to Makefile, I've to repeat what init_dirscan does,
because I don't want mod_perl build to lose the dropin-n-build
functionality. So I've ended up with something like this in the top
use File::Spec ();
use DirHandle ();
my @mf_dirs = ();
for my $dir (@extra_makefile_dirs,
grep !/^\.\.?$/, grep {-d} DirHandle->new('.')->read) {
next if -l $dir; # no symlinks per MakeMaker
push @mf_dirs, $dir if -f File::Spec->catfile($dir, "Makefile.PL");
}
ModPerl::MM::WriteMakefile(
NAME => 'mod_perl',
VERSION => $VERSION,
DIR => \@mf_dirs,
...
not sure whether it's the right way to go, but it works.
Since docs/src/api/mod_perl-2.0/Makefile.PL is then called with ../blib
as the build target I've to rewrite .. into ../../../.. to get back to
the top blib. Should I change Makefile.PL: MY::paththru to give a
different argument?
The current build system wasn't designed for reaching dirs which are not
immediate children of the top dir, unless I create Makefile.PLs in every
dir on the way to docs/src/api/mod_perl-2.0/Makefile.PL, I'm not sure
what's the best way to go...
