Alien::Build::Plugin::Build::Make
Make plugin for Alien::Build
SYNOPSIS
use alienfile;
# For a recipe that requires GNU Make
plugin 'Build::Make' => 'gmake';
DESCRIPTION
By default Alien::Build provides a helper for the make
that is used by Perl and ExtUtils::MakeMaker itself.
This is handy, because it is the one make that you can mostly guarantee that you will have. Unfortunately it may be
a make
that isn't supported by the library or tool that you are trying to alienize. This is mostly a problem on
Windows, where the supported make
s for years were Microsoft's nmake
and Sun's dmake
, which many open source
projects do not use. This plugin will alter the alienfile recipe to use a different make
. It may (as in the
case of gmake
/ Alien::gmake) automatically download and install an alienized version of that make
if it
is not already installed.
This plugin should NOT be used with other plugins that replace the make
helper, like
Alien::Build::Plugin::Build::CMake, Alien::Build::Plugin::Build::Autoconf,
Alien::Build::Plugin::Build::MSYS. This plugin is intended instead for projects that use vanilla makefiles of
a specific type.
This plugin is for now distributed separately from Alien::Build, but the intention is for it to soon become a core plugin for Alien::Build.
