Alien::Box2D - Build and make available Box2D library - http://box2d.org/
Version 0.1
Alien::Box2D during its installation does one of the following:
Builds ODE binaries from source codes and installs dev files (headers: *.h, static library: *.a) into share directory of Alien::Box2D distribution.
Later you can use Alien::Box2D in your module that needs to link with libode like this:
# Sample Build.pl use Module::Build; use Alien::Box2D; my $build = Module::Build->new( module_name => 'Any::Box2D::Module', # + other params build_requires => { 'Alien::Box2D' => 0, # + others modules }, configure_requires => { 'Alien::Box2D' => 0, # + others modules }, extra_compiler_flags => Alien::Box2D->config('cflags'), extra_linker_flags => Alien::Box2D->config('libs'), )->create_build_script;
NOTE: Alien::Box2D is required only for building not for using 'Any::Box2D::Module'.
In short Alien::Box2D can be used to detect and get configuration settings from an already installed Box2D. It offers also an option to download Box2D source codes and build binaries from scratch.
