| README.win32 - Customise and build Sys::Syslog with Win32 EventLog support |
| |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| |
| This package includes support for the Win32 Event log. This requires |
| building a message file and then compiling it and linking it into the |
| final .DLL produced by MakeMaker. The default message text file used |
| by Sys::Syslog is PerlLog.mc, located in the win32/ subdirectory. |
| |
| If the message file is updated then you need to go in the win32/ |
| subdirectory and run the "compile.pl" command to update the relevent |
| files. Note that Sys::Syslog::Win32 is built by this process. |
| |
| The following files are in the win32 directory: |
| |
| PerlLog.mc -- Message file, change this if you change anything. |
| compile.pl -- Compile the message file and produce Win32.pm and |
| PerlLog.RES. Requires that mc.exe and rc.exe are |
| in the path. |
| |
| PerlLog.RES -- Precompiled resource file, used when building the DLL |
| Win32.pm -- Generated Win32 module for working with the resource file |
| |
| When building win32/PerlLog.RES will be linked into the final XS file, |
| and win32/Win32.pm will be copied to lib/Sys/Syslog/Win32.pm, which will |
| then be installed by MakeMaker as per normal. |
