DESCRIPTION
This class allows you to use Alien::Build and Alien::Base with
ExtUtils::MakeMaker. It load the alienfile recipe in the root of your
Alien dist, updates the prereqs passed into "WriteMakefile" if any are
specified by your alienfile or its plugins, and adds a postamble to the
"Makefile" that will download/build/test the alienized package as
appropriate.
The alienfile must be named "alienfile".
If you are using Dist::Zilla to author your Alien dist, you should
consider using the Dist::Zilla::Plugin::AlienBuild plugin.
I personally don't recommend it, but if you want to use Module::Build
instead, you can use Alien::Build::MB.
CONSTRUCTOR
new
my $abmm = Alien::Build::MM->new;
Create a new instance of Alien::Build::MM.
PROPERTIES
build
my $build = $abmm->build;
The Alien::Build instance.
alienfile_meta
my $bool = $abmm->alienfile_meta
Set to a false value, in order to turn off the x_alienfile meta
clean_install
my $bool = $abmm->clean_install;
Set to a true value, in order to clean the share directory prior to
installing. If you use this you have to make sure that you install the
install handler in your "Makefile.PL":
$abmm = Alien::Build::MM->new(
clean_install => 1,
);
...
sub MY::install {
$abmm->mm_install(@_);
}
METHODS
mm_args
my %args = $abmm->mm_args(%args);
Adjust the arguments passed into "WriteMakefile" as needed by
Alien::Build.
mm_postamble
my $postamble $abmm->mm_postamble;
my $postamble $abmm->mm_postamble($mm);
Returns the postamble for the "Makefile" needed for Alien::Build. This
adds the following "make" targets which are normally called when you
run "make all", but can be run individually if needed for debugging.
alien_prefix
Determines the final install prefix ("%{.install.prefix}").
alien_version
Determine the perl_module_version
("%{.runtime.perl_module_version}")
alien_download
Downloads the source from the internet. Does nothing for a system
install.
alien_build
Build from source (if a share install). Gather configuration (for
either system or share install).
alien_prop, alien_prop_meta, alien_prop_install, alien_prop_runtime
Prints the meta, install and runtime properties for the Alien.
alien_realclean, alien_clean
Removes the alien specific files. These targets are executed when
you call the "realclean" and "clean" targets respectively.
alien_clean_install
Cleans out the Alien's share directory. Caution should be used in
invoking this target directly, as if you do not understand what you
are doing you are likely to break your already installed Alien.
mm_install
sub MY::install {
$abmm->mm_install(@_);
}
EXPERIMENTAL
Adds an install rule to clean the final install dist directory prior to
installing.
