NAME

Alien::Build::Plugin::Probe::CBuilder - Probe for system libraries by guessing with ExtUtils::CBuilder

VERSION

version 0.60

SYNOPSIS

 use alienfile;
 plugin 'Probe::CBuilder' => (
   cflags => '-I/opt/libfoo/include',
   libs   => '-L/opt/libfoo/lib -lfoo',
 );

alternately:

 ues alienfile;
 plugin 'Probe::CBuilder' => (
   aliens => [ 'Alien::libfoo', 'Alien::libbar' ],
 );

DESCRIPTION

This plugin probes for compiler and linker flags using ExtUtils::CBuilder. This is a useful alternative to Alien::Build::Plugin::PkgConfig::Negotiate for packages that do not provide a pkg-config .pc file, or for when those .pc files may not be available. (For example, on FreeBSD, libarchive is a core part of the operating system, but doesn't include a .pc file which is usually provided when you install the libarchive package on Linux).

PROPERTIES
