NAME
Module::Install::CheckLib - A Module::Install extension to check that a
library is available
SYNOPSIS
# In Makefile.PL
use inc::Module::Install;
checklibs lib => 'jpeg', header => 'jpeglib.h';
The Makefile.PL will exit unless library or header is found.
DESCRIPTION
Module::Install::CheckLib is a Module::Install extension that integrates
Devel::CheckLib so that CPAN authors may stipulate which particular C
library and its headers they want available and to exit the
"Makefile.PL" gracefully if they aren't.
The author specifies which C libraries, etc, they want available.
Devel::CheckLib is copied to the "inc/" directory along with the
Module::Install files.
On the module user side, the bundled "inc/" Devel::CheckLib determines
whether the current environment is supported or not and will exit
accordingly.
COMMANDS
This plugin adds the following Module::Install command:
"checklibs"
Requires a list of parameters. These are passed directly to
Devel::CheckLib "check_lib_or_exit" function. Please consult the
documentation for Devel::CheckLib for more details on what these
parameters are.
This is generally the function one should use in Makefile.PL, as it
exits gracefully and plays nice with CPAN Testers.
"assertlibs"
The same as "checklibs" but uses Devel::CheckLib "assert_lib"
instead. "assert_lib" dies instead of exiting gracefully. It is
provided for completeness, please use "checklibs".
By default, the module skips calls to Devel::CheckLibs subroutines when
called from the author side. The extra option "run_checks_as_author" can
be given to both "checklibs" and "assertlibs" to enable those checks
even in author mode.
Example:
checklibs lib => libfoo, run_checks_as_author => 1;
