NAME

Module::Install::XSUtil - Utility functions for XS modules

VERSION

This document describes Module::Install::XSUtil version 0.19.

SYNOPSIS

    # in Makefile.PL
    use inc::Module::Install;

    # Enables C compiler warnings
    cc_warnings;

    # Uses ppport.h
    # No need to include it. It's created here.
    use_ppport 3.19;


    # Sets C pre-processor macros.
    cc_define q{-DUSE_SOME_FEATURE=42};

    # Sets paths for header files
    cc_include_paths 'include'; # all the header files are in include/

    # Sets paths for source files
    cc_src_paths 'src'; # all the XS and C source files are in src/

    # Installs header files
    install_headers; # all the header files in @cc_include_paths

    # This is a special version of requires().
    # If XS::SomeFeature provides header files,
    # this will add its include paths into INC
    requies_xs 'XS::SomeFeature';

DESCRIPTION

Module::Install::XSUtil provides a set of utilities to setup distributions which include or depend on XS module.

See XS::MRO::Compat and Method::Cumulative for example.

FUNCTIONS

cc_available

Returns true if a C compiler is available. If one passes --xs to Makefile.PL, this command returns true, and If one passes --pp, it returns false.

This uses ExtUtils::CBuilder.

requires_xs $module => ?$version

Does requires() and setup include paths and libraries for what $module provides.

use_ppport ?$version

Create ppport.h using Devel::PPPort::WriteFile().

This command calls configure_requires 'Devel::PPPort' => $version and adds -DUSE_PPPORT to MakeMaker's DEFINE.

cc_warnings

Enables C compiler warnings.

cc_define @macros

Sets cpp macros as compiler options.

cc_src_paths @source_paths

Sets source file directories which include *.xs or *.c.

cc_include_paths @include_paths

Sets include paths for a C compiler.

install_headers ?@header_files

Declares providing header files, extracts functions from these header files, and adds these functions to MakeMaker's FUNCLIST.

If @header_files are omitted, all the header files in include paths will be installed.

cc_append_to_inc @include_paths

Low level API.

cc_append_to_libs @libraries

Low level API.

cc_append_to_ccflags @ccflags

Low level API.

cc_append_to_funclist @funclist

Low level API.

OPTIONS

Under the control of this module, Makefile.PL accepts -g option, which sets MakeMaker's OPTIMIE -g (or something like). It will disable optimization and enable some debugging features.

DEPENDENCIES

Perl 5.5.3 or later.

NOTE

In Makefile.PL, you might want to use author_requires, which is provided by Module::Install::AuthorReauires, in order to tell co-developers that they need to install this plugin.

    author_requires 'Module::Install::XSUtil';

BUGS

No bugs have been reported.

Please report any bugs or feature requests to the author.
