12 my $build = Alien::Build->load('./alienfile');
13 $build->load_requires('configure');
14 $build->set_prefix('/usr/local');
15 $build->set_stage('/foo/mystage'); # needs to be absolute
16 $build->load_requires($build->install_type);
17 $build->download;
18 $build->build;
19 # files are now in /foo/mystage, it is your job (or
20 # ExtUtils::MakeMaker, Module::Build, etc) to copy
21 # those files into /usr/local
22
24 This module provides tools for building external (non-CPAN)
25 dependencies for CPAN. It is mainly designed to be used at install
26 time of a CPAN client, and work closely with Alien::Base which is used
27 at runtime.
28
29 This is the detailed documentation for the Alien::Build class. If you
30 are starting out you probably want to do so from one of these
31 documents:
32
33 Alien::Build::Manual::Alien
34 A broad overview of "Alien-Build" and its ecosystem.
35
36 Alien::Build::Manual::AlienUser
37 For users of an "Alien::libfoo" that is implemented using
38 Alien::Base. (The developer of "Alien::libfoo" should provide the
39 documentation necessary, but if not, this is the place to start).
40
41 Alien::Build::Manual::AlienAuthor
42 If you are writing your own Alien based on Alien::Build and
43 Alien::Base.
44
45 Alien::Build::Manual::FAQ
46 If you have a common question that has already been answered, like
47 "How do I use alienfile with some build system".
48
49 Alien::Build::Manual::PluginAuthor
50 This is for the brave souls who want to write plugins that will
51 work with Alien::Build + alienfile.
52
53 Note that you will not usually create a Alien::Build instance directly,
54 but rather be using a thin installer layer, such as Alien::Build::MM
55 (for use with ExtUtils::MakeMaker) or Alien::Build::MB (for use with
56 Module::Build). One of the goals of this project is to remain
57 installer agnostic.
58
60 new
61 my $build = Alien::Build->new;
62
63 This creates a new empty instance of Alien::Build. Normally you will
64 want to use "load" below to create an instance of Alien::Build from an
65 alienfile recipe.
66
67 load
68 my $build = Alien::Build->load($alienfile);
69
70 This creates an Alien::Build instance with the given alienfile recipe.
71
72 resume
73 my $build = Alien::Build->resume($alienfile, $root);
74
75 Load a checkpointed Alien::Build instance. You will need the original
76 alienfile and the build root (usually "_alien"), and a build that had
77 been properly checkpointed using the "checkpoint" method below.
78
80 There are three main properties for Alien::Build. There are a number
81 of properties documented here with a specific usage. Note that these
82 properties may need to be serialized into something primitive like JSON
83 that does not support: regular expressions, code references of blessed
84 objects.
85
86 If you are writing a plugin (Alien::Build::Plugin) you should use a
87 prefix like "plugin_name" (where name is the name of your plugin) so
88 that it does not interfere with other plugin or future versions of
89 Alien::Build. For example, if you were writing
90 "Alien::Build::Plugin::Fetch::NewProtocol", please use the prefix
91 "plugin_fetch_newprotocol":
92
93 sub init
94 {
95 my($self, $meta) = @_;
96
97 $meta->prop( plugin_fetch_newprotocol_foo => 'some value' );
98
99 $meta->register_hook(
100 some_hook => sub {
101 my($build) = @_;
102 $build->install_prop->{plugin_fetch_newprotocol_bar} = 'some other value';
103 $build->runtime_prop->{plugin_fetch_newprotocol_baz} = 'and another value';
104 }
105 );
106 }
107
108 If you are writing a alienfile recipe please use the prefix "my_":
109
110 use alienfile;
111
112 meta_prop->{my_foo} = 'some value';
113
114 probe sub {
115 my($build) = @_;
116 $build->install_prop->{my_bar} = 'some other value';
117 $build->install_prop->{my_baz} = 'and another value';
118 };
119
120 Any property may be used from a command:
121
122 probe [ 'some command %{.meta.plugin_fetch_newprotocol_foo}' ];
123 probe [ 'some command %{.install.plugin_fetch_newprotocol_bar}' ];
124 probe [ 'some command %{.runtime.plugin_fetch_newprotocol_baz}' ];
125 probe [ 'some command %{.meta.my_foo}' ];
126 probe [ 'some command %{.install.my_bar}' ];
127 probe [ 'some command %{.runtime.my_baz}' ];
128
129 meta_prop
130 my $href = $build->meta_prop;
131 my $href = Alien::Build->meta_prop;
132
133 Meta properties have to do with the recipe itself, and not any
134 particular instance that probes or builds that recipe. Meta properties
135 can be changed from within an alienfile using the "meta_prop"
136 directive, or from a plugin from its "init" method (though should NOT
137 be modified from any hooks registered within that "init" method). This
138 is not strictly enforced, but if you do not follow this rule your
139 recipe will likely be broken.
140
141 arch
142 This is a hint to an installer like Alien::Build::MM or
143 Alien::Build::MB, that the library or tool contains architecture
144 dependent files and so should be stored in an architecture
145 dependent location. If not specified by your alienfile then it
146 will be set to true.
147
148 destdir
149 Use the "DESTDIR" environment variable to stage your install before
150 copying the files into "blib". This is the preferred method of
151 installing libraries because it improves reliability. This
152 technique is supported by "autoconf" and others.
153
154 destdir_filter
155 Regular expression for the files that should be copied from the
156 "DESTDIR" into the stage directory. If not defined, then all files
157 will be copied.
158
159 destdir_ffi_filter
160 Same as "destdir_filter" except applies to "build_ffi" instead of
161 "build".
162
163 env Environment variables to override during the build stage.
164
165 env_interpolate
166 Environment variable values will be interpolated with helpers.
167 Example:
168
169 meta->prop->{env_interpolate} = 1;
170 meta->prop->{env}->{PERL} = '%{perl}';
171
172 local_source
173 Set to true if source code package is available locally. (that is
174 not fetched over the internet). This is computed by default based
175 on the "start_url" property. Can be set by an alienfile or plugin.
176
177 platform
178 Hash reference. Contains information about the platform beyond
179 just $^O.
180
181 compiler_type
182 Refers to the type of flags that the compiler accepts. May be
183 expanded in the future, but for now, will be one of:
184
185 microsoft
186 On Windows when using Microsoft Visual C++
187
188 unix
189 Virtually everything else, including gcc on windows.
190
191 The main difference is that with Visual C++ "-LIBPATH" should
192 be used instead of "-L", and static libraries should have the
193 ".LIB" suffix instead of ".a".
194
195 system_type
196 $^O is frequently good enough to make platform specific logic
197 in your alienfile, this handles the case when $^O can cover
198 platforms that provide multiple environments that Perl might
199 run under. The main example is windows, but others may be
200 added in the future.
201
202 unix
203 vms
204 windows-activestate
205 windows-microsoft
206 windows-mingw
207 windows-strawberry
208 windows-unknown
209
210 Note that "cygwin" and "msys" are considered "unix" even though
211 they run on windows!
212
213 out_of_source
214 Build in a different directory from the where the source code is
215 stored. In autoconf this is referred to as a "VPATH" build.
216 Everyone else calls this an "out-of-source" build. When this
217 property is true, instead of extracting to the source build root,
218 the downloaded source will be extracted to an source extraction
219 directory and the source build root will be empty. You can use the
220 "extract" install property to get the location of the extracted
221 source.
222
223 network
224 True if a network fetch is available. This should NOT be set by an
225 alienfile or plugin. This is computed based on the
226 "ALIEN_INSTALL_NETWORK" environment variables.
227
228 start_url
229 The default or start URL used by fetch plugins.
230
231 install_prop
232 my $href = $build->install_prop;
233
234 Install properties are used during the install phase (either under
235 "share" or "system" install). They are remembered for the entire
236 install phase, but not kept around during the runtime phase. Thus they
237 cannot be accessed from your Alien::Base based module.
238
239 autoconf_prefix
240 The prefix as understood by autoconf. This is only different on
241 Windows Where MSYS is used and paths like "C:/foo" are represented
242 as "/C/foo" which are understood by the MSYS tools, but not by
243 Perl. You should only use this if you are using
244 Alien::Build::Plugin::Autoconf in your alienfile.
245
246 download
247 The location of the downloaded archive (tar.gz, or similar) or
248 directory.
249
250 env Environment variables to override during the build stage.
251
252 extract
253 The location of the last source extraction. For a "out-of-source"
254 build (see the "out_of_source" meta property above), this will only
255 be set once. For other types of builds, the source code may be
256 extracted multiple times, and thus this property may change.
257
258 old Hash containing information on a previously installed Alien of the
259 same name, if available. This may be useful in cases where you
260 want to reuse the previous install if it is still sufficient.
261
262 prefix
263 The prefix for the previous install. Versions prior to 1.42
264 unfortunately had this in typo form of "preifx".
265
266 runtime
267 The runtime properties from the previous install.
268
269 patch
270 Directory with patches.
271
272 prefix
273 The install time prefix. Under a "destdir" install this is the
274 same as the runtime or final install location. Under a
275 non-"destdir" install this is the "stage" directory (usually the
276 appropriate share directory under "blib").
277
278 root
279 The build root directory. This will be an absolute path. It is
280 the absolute form of "./_alien" by default.
281
282 stage
283 The stage directory where files will be copied. This is usually
284 the root of the blib share directory.
285
286 system_probe_class
287 After the probe step this property may contain the plugin class
288 that performed the system probe. It shouldn't be filled in
289 directly by the plugin (instead if should use the hook property
290 "probe_class", see below). This is optional, and not all probe
291 plugins will provide this information.
292
293 system_probe_instance_id
294 After the probe step this property may contain the plugin instance
295 id that performed the system probe. It shouldn't be filled in
296 directly by the plugin (instead if should use the hook property
297 "probe_instance_id", see below). This is optional, and not all
298 probe plugins will provide this information.
299
300 plugin_instance_prop
301 my $href = $build->plugin_instance_prop($plugin);
302
303 This returns the private plugin instance properties for a given plugin.
304 This method should usually only be called internally by plugins
305 themselves to keep track of internal state. Because the content can be
306 used arbitrarily by the owning plugin because it is private to the
307 plugin, and thus is not part of the Alien::Build spec.
308
309 runtime_prop
310 my $href = $build->runtime_prop;
311
312 Runtime properties are used during the install and runtime phases
313 (either under "share" or "system" install). This should include
314 anything that you will need to know to use the library or tool during
315 runtime, and shouldn't include anything that is no longer relevant once
316 the install process is complete.
317
318 alien_build_version
319 The version of Alien::Build used to install the library or tool.
320
321 alt Alternate configurations. If the alienized package has multiple
322 libraries this could be used to store the different compiler or
323 linker flags for each library.
324
325 cflags
326 The compiler flags
327
328 cflags_static
329 The static compiler flags
330
331 command
332 The command name for tools where the name my differ from platform
333 to platform. For example, the GNU version of make is usually
334 "make" in Linux and "gmake" on FreeBSD.
335
336 ffi_name
337 The name DLL or shared object "name" to use when searching for
338 dynamic libraries at runtime. This is passed into FFI::CheckLib,
339 so if your library is something like "libarchive.so" or
340 "archive.dll" you would set this to "archive". This may be a
341 string or an array of strings.
342
343 ffi_checklib
344 This property contains two sub properties:
345
346 share
347 $build->runtime_prop->{ffi_checklib}->{share} = [ ... ];
348
349 Array of additional FFI::CheckLib flags to pass in to
350 "find_lib" for a "share" install.
351
352 system
353 Array of additional FFI::CheckLib flags to pass in to
354 "find_lib" for a "system" install.
355
356 Among other things, useful for specifying the
357 "try_linker_script" flag:
358
359 $build->runtime_prop->{ffi_checklib}->{system} = [ try_linker_script => 1 ];
360
361 install_type
362 The install type. Is one of:
363
364 system
365 For when the library or tool is provided by the operating
366 system, can be detected by Alien::Build, and is considered
367 satisfactory by the "alienfile" recipe.
368
369 share
370 For when a system install is not possible, the library source
371 will be downloaded from the internet or retrieved in another
372 appropriate fashion and built.
373
374 libs
375 The library flags
376
377 libs_static
378 The static library flags
379
380 perl_module_version
381 The version of the Perl module used to install the alien (if
382 available). For example if Alien::curl is installing "libcurl"
383 this would be the version of Alien::curl used during the install
384 step.
385
386 prefix
387 The final install root. This is usually they share directory.
388
389 version
390 The version of the library or tool
391
392 hook_prop
393 my $href = $build->hook_prop;
394
395 Hook properties are for the currently running (if any) hook. They are
396 used only during the execution of each hook and are discarded after.
397 If no hook is currently running then "hook_prop" will return "undef".
398
399 name
400 The name of the currently running hook.
401
402 version (probe)
403 Probe and PkgConfig plugins may set this property indicating the
404 version of the alienized package. Not all plugins and
405 configurations may be able to provide this.
406
407 probe_class (probe)
408 Probe and PkgConfig plugins may set this property indicating the
409 plugin class that made the probe. If the probe results in a system
410 install this will be propagated to "system_probe_class" for later
411 use.
412
413 probe_instance_id (probe)
414 Probe and PkgConfig plugins may set this property indicating the
415 plugin instance id that made the probe. If the probe results in a
416 system install this will be propagated to
417 "system_probe_instance_id" for later use.
418
420 checkpoint
421 $build->checkpoint;
422
423 Save any install or runtime properties so that they can be reloaded on
424 a subsequent run in a separate process. This is useful if your build
425 needs to be done in multiple stages from a "Makefile", such as with
426 ExtUtils::MakeMaker. Once checkpointed you can use the "resume"
427 constructor (documented above) to resume the probe/build/install]
428 process.
429
430 root
431 my $dir = $build->root;
432
433 This is just a shortcut for:
434
435 my $root = $build->install_prop->{root};
436
437 Except that it will be created if it does not already exist.
438
439 install_type
440 my $type = $build->install_type;
441
442 This will return the install type. (See the like named install
443 property above for details). This method will call "probe" if it has
444 not already been called.
445
446 set_prefix
447 $build->set_prefix($prefix);
448
449 Set the final (unstaged) prefix. This is normally only called by
450 Alien::Build::MM and similar modules. It is not intended for use from
451 plugins or from an alienfile.
452
453 set_stage
454 $build->set_stage($dir);
455
456 Sets the stage directory. This is normally only called by
457 Alien::Build::MM and similar modules. It is not intended for use from
458 plugins or from an alienfile.
459
460 requires
461 my $hash = $build->requires($phase);
462
463 Returns a hash reference of the modules required for the given phase.
464 Phases include:
465
466 configure
467 These modules must already be available when the alienfile is read.
468
469 any These modules are used during either a "system" or "share" install.
470
471 share
472 These modules are used during the build phase of a "share" install.
473
474 system
475 These modules are used during the build phase of a "system"
476 install.
477
478 load_requires
479 $build->load_requires($phase);
480
481 This loads the appropriate modules for the given phase (see "requires"
482 above for a description of the phases).
483
484 probe
485 my $install_type = $build->probe;
486
487 Attempts to determine if the operating system has the library or tool
488 already installed. If so, then the string "system" will be returned
489 and a system install will be performed. If not, then the string
490 "share" will be installed and the tool or library will be downloaded
491 and built from source.
492
493 If the environment variable "ALIEN_INSTALL_TYPE" is set, then that will
494 force a specific type of install. If the detection logic cannot
495 accommodate the install type requested then it will fail with an
496 exception.
497
498 download
499 $build->download;
500
501 Download the source, usually as a tarball, usually from the internet.
502
503 Under a "system" install this does not do anything.
504
505 fetch
506 my $res = $build->fetch;
507 my $res = $build->fetch($url, %options);
508
509 Fetch a resource using the fetch hook. Returns the same hash structure
510 described below in the hook documentation.
511
512 [version 2.39]
513
514 As of Alien::Build 2.39, these options are supported:
515
516 http_headers
517 my $res = $build->fetch($url, http_headers => [ $key1 => $value1, $key2 => $value 2, ... ]);
518
519 Set the HTTP request headers on all outgoing HTTP requests. Note
520 that not all protocols or fetch plugins support setting request
521 headers, but the ones that do not should issue a warning if you try
522 to set request headers and they are not supported.
523
524 decode
525 my $decoded_res = $build->decode($res);
526
527 Decode the HTML or file listing returned by "fetch". Returns the same
528 hash structure described below in the hook documentation.
529
530 prefer
531 my $sorted_res = $build->prefer($res);
532
533 Filter and sort candidates. The preferred candidate will be returned
534 first in the list. The worst candidate will be returned last. Returns
535 the same hash structure described below in the hook documentation.
536
537 extract
538 my $dir = $build->extract;
539 my $dir = $build->extract($archive);
540
541 Extracts the given archive into a fresh directory. This is normally
542 called internally to Alien::Build, and for normal usage is not needed
543 from a plugin or alienfile.
544
545 build
546 $build->build;
547
548 Run the build step. It is expected that "probe" and "download" have
549 already been performed. What it actually does depends on the type of
550 install:
551
552 share
553 The source is extracted, and built as determined by the alienfile
554 recipe. If there is a "gather_share" that will be executed last.
555
556 system
557 The "gather_system" hook will be executed.
558
559 test
560 $build->test;
561
562 Run the test phase
563
564 clean_install
565 $build->clean_install
566
567 Clean files from the final install location. The default
568 implementation removes all files recursively except for the "_alien"
569 directory. This is helpful when you have an old install with files
570 that may break the new build.
571
572 For a non-share install this doesn't do anything.
573
574 system
575 $build->system($command);
576 $build->system($command, @args);
577
578 Interpolates the command and arguments and run the results using the
579 Perl "system" command.
580
581 log
582 $build->log($message);
583
584 Send a message to the log. By default this prints to "STDOUT".
585
586 meta
587 my $meta = Alien::Build->meta;
588 my $meta = $build->meta;
589
590 Returns the meta object for your Alien::Build class or instance. The
591 meta object is a way to manipulate the recipe, and so any changes to
592 the meta object should be made before the "probe", "download" or
593 "build" steps.
594
596 prop
597 my $href = $build->meta->prop;
598
599 Meta properties. This is the same as calling "meta_prop" on the class
600 or Alien::Build instance.
601
602 add_requires
603 Alien::Build->meta->add_requires($phase, $module => $version, ...);
604
605 Add the requirement to the given phase. Phase should be one of:
606
607 configure
608 any
609 share
610 system
611
612 interpolator
613 my $interpolator = $build->meta->interpolator;
614 my $interpolator = Alien::Build->interpolator;
615
616 Returns the Alien::Build::Interpolate instance for the Alien::Build
617 class.
618
619 has_hook
620 my $bool = $build->meta->has_hook($name);
621 my $bool = Alien::Build->has_hook($name);
622
623 Returns if there is a usable hook registered with the given name.
624
625 register_hook
626 $build->meta->register_hook($name, $instructions);
627 Alien::Build->meta->register_hook($name, $instructions);
628
629 Register a hook with the given name. $instruction should be either a
630 code reference, or a command sequence, which is an array reference.
631
632 default_hook
633 $build->meta->default_hook($name, $instructions);
634 Alien::Build->meta->default_hook($name, $instructions);
635
636 Register a default hook, which will be used if the alienfile does not
637 register its own hook with that name.
638
639 around_hook
640 $build->meta->around_hook($hook, $code);
641 Alien::Build->meta->around_hook($name, $code);
642
643 Wrap the given hook with a code reference. This is similar to a Moose
644 method modifier, except that it wraps around the given hook instead of
645 a method. For example, this will add a probe system requirement:
646
647 $build->meta->around_hook(
648 probe => sub {
649 my $orig = shift;
650 my $build = shift;
651 my $type = $orig->($build, @_);
652 return $type unless $type eq 'system';
653 # also require a configuration file
654 if(-f '/etc/foo.conf')
655 {
656 return 'system';
657 }
658 else
659 {
660 return 'share';
661 }
662 },
663 );
664
665 apply_plugin
666 Alien::Build->meta->apply_plugin($name);
667 Alien::Build->meta->apply_plugin($name, @args);
668
669 Apply the given plugin with the given arguments.
670
672 Alien::Build responds to these environment variables:
673
674 ALIEN_INSTALL_NETWORK
675 If set to true (the default), then network fetch will be allowed.
676 If set to false, then network fetch will not be allowed.
677
678 What constitutes a local vs. network fetch is determined based on
679 the "start_url" and "local_source" meta properties. An alienfile
680 or plugin "could" override this detection (possibly
681 inappropriately), so this variable is not a substitute for properly
682 auditing of Perl modules for environments that require that.
683
684 ALIEN_INSTALL_TYPE
685 If set to "share" or "system", it will override the system
686 detection logic. If set to "default", it will use the default
687 setting for the alienfile. The behavior of other values is
688 undefined.
689
690 Although the recommended way for a consumer to use an Alien::Base
691 based Alien is to declare it as a static configure and build-time
692 dependency, some consumers may prefer to fallback on using an Alien
693 only when the consumer itself cannot detect the necessary package.
694 In some cases the consumer may want the user to opt-in to using an
695 Alien before requiring it.
696
697 To keep the interface consistent among Aliens, the consumer of the
698 fallback opt-in Alien may fallback on the Alien if the environment
699 variable "ALIEN_INSTALL_TYPE" is set to any value. The rationale is
700 that by setting this environment variable the user is aware that
701 Alien modules may be installed and have indicated consent. The
702 actual implementation of this, by its nature would have to be in
703 the consuming CPAN module.
704
705 ALIEN_BUILD_LOG
706 The default log class used. See Alien::Build::Log and
707 Alien::Build::Log::Default.
708
709 ALIEN_BUILD_RC
710 Perl source file which can override some global defaults for
711 Alien::Build, by, for example, setting preload and postload
712 plugins.
713
714 ALIEN_BUILD_PKG_CONFIG
715 Override the logic in Alien::Build::Plugin::PkgConfig::Negotiate
716 which chooses the best "pkg-config" plugin.
717
718 ALIEN_BUILD_PRELOAD
719 semicolon separated list of plugins to automatically load before
720 parsing your alienfile.
721
722 ALIEN_BUILD_POSTLOAD
723 semicolon separated list of plugins to automatically load after
724 parsing your alienfile.
725
726 DESTDIR
727 This environment variable will be manipulated during a destdir
728 install.
729
730 PKG_CONFIG
731 This environment variable can be used to override the program name
732 for "pkg-config" when using the command line plugin:
733 Alien::Build::Plugin::PkgConfig::CommandLine.
734
735 ftp_proxy, all_proxy
736 If these environment variables are set, it may influence the
737 Download negotiation plugin
738 Alien::Build::Plugin::Downaload::Negotiate. Other proxy variables
739 may be used by some Fetch plugins, if they support it.
740
742 The intent of the "Alien-Build" team is to support as best as possible
743 all Perls from 5.8.4 to the latest production version. So long as they
744 are also supported by the Perl toolchain.

771 Alien::Base was originally written by Joel Berger, the rest of this
772 project would not have been possible without him getting the project
773 started. Thanks to his support I have been able to augment the
774 original Alien::Base system with a reliable set of tools (Alien::Build,
775 alienfile, Test::Alien), which make up this toolset.
776
777 The original Alien::Base is still copyright (c) 2012-2020 Joel Berger.
778 It has the same license as the rest of the Alien::Build and related
779 tools distributed as "Alien-Build". Joel Berger thanked a number of
780 people who helped in in the development of Alien::Base, in the
781 documentation for that module.
782
783 I would also like to acknowledge the other members of the PerlAlien
784 github organization, Zakariyya Mughal (sivoais, ZMUGHAL) and mohawk
785 (ETJ). Also important in the early development of Alien::Build were
786 the early adopters Chase Whitener (genio, CAPOEIRAB, author of
787 Alien::libuv), William N. Braswell, Jr (willthechill, WBRASWELL, author
788 of Alien::JPCRE2 and Alien::PCRE2) and Ahmad Fatoum (a3f, ATHREEF,
789 author of Alien::libudev and Alien::LibUSB).
790
791 The Alien ecosystem owes a debt to Dan Book, who goes by Grinnz on IRC,
792 for answering question about how to use Alien::Build and friends.
