24          # Alien::Autotools will pull in:
25          #  - Alien::autoconf
26          #  - Alien::automake
27          #  - Alien::m4
28          #  - Alien::libtool
29          # all of which you will likely need.

31          plugin 'Build::Autoconf';
32          build [
33            '%{autoreconf} -vfi',
34            '%{configure}',
35            '%{make}',

38        };

DESCRIPTION

41       This distribution provides autoconf so that it can be used by other
42       Perl distributions that are on CPAN.  This is most commonly necessary
43       when creating other Aliens that target a autoconf project that does not
44       ship with a "configure" script.  Ideally you should complain to the
45       upstream developers, but if you are not able to convince them then you
46       have this option.  There are currently two such Aliens: Alien::libuv
47       and Alien::Hunspell.

METHODS

50   bin_dir
51        my @dirs = Alien::autoconf->bin_dir;
52
53       Returns a list of directories that need to be added to the "PATH" in
54       order to use "autoconf".
55

HELPERS

57       This Alien provides the following helpers which will execute the
58       corresponding command.  You want to use the helpers because they will
59       use the correct incantation on Windows.
