Alien::Build::MM − Alien::Build installer code for ExtUtils::MakeMaker
version 2.80
In your "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(@_);
}
sub MY::install {
$abmm−>mm_install(@_);
}
In your "lib/Alien/Libfoo.pm":
package
Alien::Libfoo;
use parent qw( Alien::Base );
1;
In your alienfile (needs to be named "alienfile" and should be in the root of your dist):
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.
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 $bool = $abmm−>clean_install;
Set to a true value, in order to clean the share directory prior to installing. If you use this you have to make sure that you install the install handler in your "Makefile.PL":
$abmm =
Alien::Build::MM−>new(
clean_install => 1,
);
...
sub MY::install {
$abmm−>mm_install(@_);
}
my %args = $abmm−>mm_args(%args);
Adjust the arguments passed into "WriteMakefile" as needed by Alien::Build.
my $postamble
$abmm−>mm_postamble;
my $postamble $abmm−>mm_postamble($mm);
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.
alien_prefix
Determines the final install prefix ("%{.install.prefix}").
alien_version
Determine the perl_module_version ("%{.runtime.perl_module_version}")
alien_download
Downloads the source from the internet. Does nothing for a system install.
alien_build
Build from source (if a share install). Gather configuration (for either system or share install).
alien_prop, alien_prop_meta, alien_prop_install, alien_prop_runtime
Prints the meta, install and runtime properties for the Alien.
alien_realclean, alien_clean
Removes the alien specific files. These targets are executed when you call the "realclean" and "clean" targets respectively.
alien_clean_install
Cleans out the Alien’s share directory. Caution should be used in invoking this target directly, as if you do not understand what you are doing you are likely to break your already installed Alien.
sub MY::install
{
$abmm−>mm_install(@_);
}
EXPERIMENTAL
Adds an install rule to clean the final install dist directory prior to installing.
