Alien::Libxml2 − Install the C libxml2 library on your system
version 0.19
In your Makefile.PL:
use
ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
use Alien::Base::Wrapper ();
WriteMakefile(
Alien::Base::Wrapper−>new('Alien::Libxml2')−>mm_args2(
# MakeMaker args
NAME => 'My::XS',
...
),
);
In your Build.PL:
use
Module::Build;
use Alien::Base::Wrapper qw( Alien::Libxml2 !export );
my $builder = Module::Build−>new(
...
configure_requires => {
'Alien::Libxml2' => '0',
...
},
Alien::Base::Wrapper−>mb_args,
...
);
$build−>create_build_script;
In your FFI::Platypus script or module:
use
FFI::Platypus;
use Alien::Libxml2;
my $ffi = FFI::Platypus−>new(
lib => [ Alien::Libxml2−>dynamic_libs ],
);
This module provides "libxml2" for other modules to use.
There was an older existing Alien::LibXML, but it uses the older Alien::Build::ModuleBuild and the author prefers this version which is based on the more robust alienfile system.
"libxml2" has some optional prereqs, including "zlib" and "iconv". For a "share" install you will want to make sure that these are installed prior to installing Alien::Libxml2 if you want to make use of features relying on them.
For a system install, you want to make sure the development packages for "libxml2", "zlib" and "iconv" are installed if "libxml2" has been configured to use them, otherwise XML::LibXML will not install as expected. If the tests for this module fail with a missing "iconv.h" or "zlib.h", then this is likely the reason.
Alien::LibXML
Older Alien for the same library.
XML::LibXML
Perl interface to "libxml2", which uses this Alien
