NAME
       Alien::Build::Plugin::Probe::CBuilder - Probe for system libraries by
       guessing with ExtUtils::CBuilder

VERSION
       version 1.89

SYNOPSIS
        use alienfile;
        plugin 'Probe::CBuilder' => (
          cflags => '-I/opt/libfoo/include',
          libs   => '-L/opt/libfoo/lib -lfoo',
        );

       alternately:

        ues alienfile;
        plugin 'Probe::CBuilder' => (
          aliens => [ 'Alien::libfoo', 'Alien::libbar' ],
        );

DESCRIPTION
       This plugin probes for compiler and linker flags using
       ExtUtils::CBuilder.  This is a useful alternative to
       Alien::Build::Plugin::PkgConfig::Negotiate for packages that do not
       provide a pkg-config ".pc" file, or for when those ".pc" files may not
       be available.  (For example, on FreeBSD, "libarchive" is a core part of
       the operating system, but doesn't include a ".pc" file which is usually
       provided when you install the "libarchive" package on Linux).

PROPERTIES
   options
       Any extra options that you want to have passed into the constructor to
       ExtUtils::CBuilder.

   cflags
       The compiler flags.

   libs
       The linker flags

   program
       The program to use in the test.

   version
       This is a regular expression to parse the version out of the output
       from the test program.

   aliens
       List of aliens to query fro compiler and linker flags.

   lang
       The programming language to use.  One of either "C" or "C++".
