NAME

6       Alien::Build::MM - Alien::Build installer code for ExtUtils::MakeMaker
7

VERSION

9       version 1.93
10

SYNOPSIS

12       In your "Makefile.PL":
13
14        use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
15        use Alien::Build::MM;
16
17        my $abmm = Alien::Build::MM->new;
18
19        WriteMakefile($abmm->mm_args(
20          ABSTRACT     => 'Discover or download and install libfoo',
21          DISTNAME     => 'Alien-Libfoo',
22          NAME         => 'Alien::Libfoo',
23          VERSION_FROM => 'lib/Alien/Libfoo.pm',
24          ...
25        ));
26
27        sub MY::postamble {
28          $abmm->mm_postamble(@_);
29        }
30
31        sub MY::install {
32          $abmm->mm_install(@_);
33        }
34
35       In your "lib/Alien/Libfoo.pm":
36
37        package Alien::Libfoo;
38        use base qw( Alien::Base );
39        1;
40
41       In your alienfile (needs to be named "alienfile" and should be in the
42       root of your dist):
43
44        use alienfile;
45
46        plugin 'PkgConfig' => 'libfoo';
47
48        share {
49          start_url 'http://libfoo.org';
50          ...
51        };
52

DESCRIPTION

54       This class allows you to use Alien::Build and Alien::Base with
55       ExtUtils::MakeMaker.  It load the alienfile recipe in the root of your
56       Alien dist, updates the prereqs passed into "WriteMakefile" if any are
57       specified by your alienfile or its plugins, and adds a postamble to the
58       "Makefile" that will download/build/test the alienized package as
59       appropriate.
60
61       The alienfile must be named "alienfile".
62
63       If you are using Dist::Zilla to author your Alien dist, you should
64       consider using the Dist::Zilla::Plugin::AlienBuild plugin.
65
66       I personally don't recommend it, but if you want to use Module::Build
67       instead, you can use Alien::Build::MB.
68

CONSTRUCTOR

70   new
71        my $abmm = Alien::Build::MM->new;
72
73       Create a new instance of Alien::Build::MM.
74

PROPERTIES

76   build
77        my $build = $abmm->build;
78
79       The Alien::Build instance.
80
81   alienfile_meta
82        my $bool = $abmm->alienfile_meta
83
84       Set to a false value, in order to turn off the x_alienfile meta
85
86   clean_install
87        my $bool = $abmm->clean_install;
88
89       Set to a true value, in order to clean the share directory prior to
90       installing.  If you use this you have to make sure that you install the
91       install handler in your "Makefile.PL":
92
93        $abmm = Alien::Build::MM->new(
94          clean_install => 1,
95        );
96
97        ...
98
99        sub MY::install {
100          $abmm->mm_install(@_);
101        }
102

METHODS

104   mm_args
105        my %args = $abmm->mm_args(%args);
106
107       Adjust the arguments passed into "WriteMakefile" as needed by
108       Alien::Build.
109
110   mm_postamble
111        my $postamble $abmm->mm_postamble;
112        my $postamble $abmm->mm_postamble($mm);
113
114       Returns the postamble for the "Makefile" needed for Alien::Build.  This
115       adds the following "make" targets which are normally called when you
116       run "make all", but can be run individually if needed for debugging.
117
118       alien_prefix
119           Determines the final install prefix ("%{.install.prefix}").
120
121       alien_version
122           Determine the perl_module_version
123           ("%{.runtime.perl_module_version}")
124
125       alien_download
126           Downloads the source from the internet.  Does nothing for a system
127           install.
128
129       alien_build
130           Build from source (if a share install).  Gather configuration (for
131           either system or share install).
132
133       alien_prop, alien_prop_meta, alien_prop_install, alien_prop_runtime
134           Prints the meta, install and runtime properties for the Alien.
135
136       alien_realclean, alien_clean
137           Removes the alien specific files.  These targets are executed when
138           you call the "realclean" and "clean" targets respectively.
139
140       alien_clean_install
141           Cleans out the Alien's share directory.  Caution should be used in
142           invoking this target directly, as if you do not understand what you
143           are doing you are likely to break your already installed Alien.
144
145   mm_install
146        sub MY::install {
147          $abmm->mm_install(@_);
148        }
149
150       EXPERIMENTAL
151
152       Adds an install rule to clean the final install dist directory prior to
153       installing.
