NAME

6       Alien::Build::Plugin::Probe::Vcpkg - Probe for system libraries using
7       Vcpkg
8

VERSION

10       version 2.38
11

SYNOPSIS

13        use alienfile;
14
15        plugin 'Probe::Vcpkg' => 'libffi';
16

DESCRIPTION

18       This plugin probe can be used to find "system" packages using
19       Microsoft's "Vcpkg" package manager for Visual C++ builds of Perl.
20       "Vcpkg" is a package manager for Visual C++ that includes a number of
21       open source packages.  Although "Vcpkg" does also support Linux and
22       macOS, this plugin does not support finding "Vcpkg" packages on those
23       platforms.  For more details on "Vcpkg", see the project github page
24       here:
25
26       <https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg>
27
28       Here is the quick start guide for getting Alien::Build to work with
29       "Vpkg":
30
31        # install Vcpkg
32        C:\> git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
33        C:\> cd vcpkg
34        C:\vcpkg> .\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
35        C:\vcpkg> .\vcpkg integrate install
36
37        # update PATH to include the bin directory
38        # so that .DLL files can be found by Perl
39        C:\vcpkg> path c:\vcpkg\installed\x64-windows\bin;%PATH%
40
41        # install the packages that you want
42        C:\vcpkg> .\vcpkg install libffi
43
44        # install the alien that uses it
45        C:\vcpkg> cpanm Alien::FFI
46
47       If you are using 32 bit build of Perl, then substitute "x86-windows"
48       for "x64-windows".  If you do not want to add the "bin" directory to
49       the "PATH", then you can use "x64-windows-static" instead, which will
50       provide static libraries.  (As of this writing static libraries for 32
51       bit Windows are not available).  The main downside to using
52       "x64-windows-static" is that Aliens that require dynamic libraries for
53       FFI will not be installable.
54
55       If you do not want to install "Vcpkg" user wide (the "integrate
56       install" command above), then you can use the "PERL_WIN32_VCPKG_ROOT"
57       environment variable instead:
58
59        # install Vcpkg
60        C:\> git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
61        C:\> cd vcpkg
62        C:\vcpkg> .\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
63        C:\vcpkg> set PERL_WIN32_VCPKG_ROOT=c:\vcpkg
64

PROPERTIES

66   name
67       Specifies the name of the Vcpkg.  This should not be used with the
68       "lib" property below, choose only one.
69
70       This is the default property, so these two are equivalent:
71
72        plugin 'Probe::Vcpkg' => (name => 'foo');
73
74       and
75
76        plugin 'Probe::Vcpkg' => 'foo';
77
78   lib
79       Specifies the list of libraries that make up the Vcpkg.  This should
80       not be used with the "name" property above, choose only one.  Note that
81       using this detection method, the version number of the package will not
82       be automatically determined (since multiple packages could potentially
83       make up the list of libraries), so you need to determine the version
84       number another way if you need it.
85
86       This must be an array reference.  Do not include the ".lib" extension.
87
88        plugin 'Probe::Vcpkg' => (lib => ['foo','bar']);
89
90   ffi_name
91       Specifies an alternate ffi_name for finding dynamic libraries.
