6 ExtUtils::LibBuilder - A tool to build C libraries.
7
9 use ExtUtils::LibBuilder;
10 my $libbuilder = ExtUtils::LibBuilder->new( %options );
11
13 Supports all the method from ExtUtils::CBuilder. The following three
14 methods were adapted to be used in standalone C libraries.
15
16 new
17 This method creates a new ExtUtils::LibBuilder object. While it
18 supports all "ExtUtils::CBuilder" methods some might work slightly
19 differently (namely the two below).
20
21 You can supply to the constructor any option recognized by
22 "ExtUtils::CBuilder" constructor. None of them will be used by
23 "LibBuilder".
24
25 link
26 $libbuilder -> link( objects => [ "foo.o", "bar.o" ],
27 module_name => "foobar",
28 lib_file => "libfoobar$libbuilder->{libext}");
29
30 Options to the link method are the same as the "CBuilder" counterpart.
31 Note that the result is a standalone C Library and not a bundle to be
32 loaded by Perl.
33
34 Also, note that you can use the "libext" key to retrieve from the
35 object the common library extension on the running system (including
36 the dot).
37
38 link_executable
39 $libbuilder->link_executable( objects => ["main.o"],
40 extra_linker_flags => "-L. -lfoobar",
41 exe_file => "foobarcmd$libbuilder->{exeext}");
42
43 The "link_executable" needs, as "extra_linker_flags" options, the name
44 of the library and the search path. Future versions might include
45 better handling on the library files.
46
47 Also, note that you can use the "exeext" key to retrieve from the
48 object the common executable extension on the running system (including
49 the dot).
