Alien::Build::MM - Alien::Build installer code for ExtUtils::MakeMaker
version 1.61_01
In your Makefile.PL:
Makefile.PL
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker; use Alien::Build::MM; my $abmm = Alien::Build::MM->new; WriteMakefile($abmm->mm_args( ABSTRACT => 'Discover or download and install libfoo', DISTNAME => 'Alien-Libfoo', NAME => 'Alien::Libfoo', VERSION_FROM => 'lib/Alien/Libfoo.pm', ... )); sub MY::postamble { $abmm->mm_postamble; }
In your lib/Alien/Libfoo.pm:
lib/Alien/Libfoo.pm
package Alien::Libfoo; use base qw( Alien::Base ); 1;
In your alienfile (needs to be named alienfile and should be in the root of your dist):
alienfile
use alienfile; plugin 'PkgConfig' => 'libfoo'; share { start_url 'http://libfoo.org'; ... };
This class allows you to use Alien::Build and Alien::Base with ExtUtils::MakeMaker. It load the alienfile recipe in the root of your Alien dist, updates the prereqs passed into WriteMakefile if any are specified by your alienfile or its plugins, and adds a postamble to the Makefile that will download/build/test the alienized package as appropriate.
WriteMakefile
Makefile
The alienfile must be named alienfile.
If you are using Dist::Zilla to author your Alien dist, you should consider using the Dist::Zilla::Plugin::AlienBuild plugin.
I personally don't recommend it, but if you want to use Module::Build instead, you can use Alien::Build::MB.
my $abmm = Alien::Build::MM->new;
Create a new instance of Alien::Build::MM.
my $build = $abmm->build;
The Alien::Build instance.
my $bool = $abmm->alienfile_meta
Set to a false value, in order to turn off the x_alienfile meta
my %args = $abmm->mm_args(%args);
Adjust the arguments passed into WriteMakefile as needed by Alien::Build.
my $postamble $abmm->mm_postamble;
Returns the postamble for the Makefile needed for Alien::Build. This adds the following make targets which are normally called when you run make all, but can be run individually if needed for debugging.
make
make all
Determines the final install prefix (%{.install.prefix}).
%{.install.prefix}
Determine the perl_module_version (%{.runtime.perl_module_version})
%{.runtime.perl_module_version}
Downloads the source from the internet. Does nothing for a system install.
Build from source (if a share install). Gather configuration (for either system or share install).
Prints the meta, install and runtime properties for the Alien.
