Alien::Build::Plugin::Build::Make(3)

NAME
Alien::Build::Plugin::Build::Make - Make plugin for Alien::Build

VERSION
version 2.84

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.

PROPERTIES

  make_type
The make type needed by the alienfile recipe:

dmake
    Sun's dmake.

nmake
    Microsoft's nmake. It comes with Visual C++.
