NAME

6       Alien::Build::MB - Alien::Build installer class for Module::Build
7

VERSION

9       version 0.09
10

SYNOPSIS

12       In your Build.PL:
13
14        use Alien::Build::MB;
15
16        Alien::Build::MB->new(
17          module_name => 'Alien::MyLibrary',
18          ...
19        );
20

DESCRIPTION

22       This is a Module::Build subclass that uses Alien::Build to help create
23       Alien distributions.  The author recommends Alien::Build::MM, which
24       uses ExtUtils::MakeMaker instead.  The primary rationale for this
25       class, is to prove independence from any particular installer, so that
26       other installers may be added in the future if they become available.
27       If you really do prefer to work with Module::Build though, this may be
28       the installer for you!

CONSTRUCTOR

31   new
32        my $abmb = Alien::Build::MB->new(%args);
33
34       Takes the usual Module::Build arguments.
35

PROPERTIES

37       All Alien::Build::MB specific properties have a "alien_" prefix.
38
39   alien_alienfile_meta
40       If true (the default), then extra meta will be stored in "x_alienfile"
41       which includes the "share" and "system" prereqs.
42

METHODS

44   alien_build
45        my $build = $abmb->alien_build;
46
47       Returns a freshly deserialized instance of Alien::Build.  If you make
48       any changes to this object's "install_prop" or "runtime_prop"
49       properties be sure that you also call "$build->checkpoint"!
50

ACTIONS

52       These actions should automatically be called during the normal install
53       process.  For debugging you may want to call them separately.
54
55   ACTION_alien_download
56        ./Build alien_download
57
58       Downloads the package from the internet.  For a system install this
59       does not do anything.
60
61   ACTION_alien_build
62        ./Build alien_build
63
64       Build the package from source.
65
66   ACTION_alien_test
67        ./Build alien_test
68
69       Run the package tests, if there are any.
