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

VERSION
       version 2.80

SYNOPSIS
        use alienfile;

        share {
          plugin 'Build::CMake';
          build [
            # this is the default build step, if you do not specify one.
            [ '%{cmake}',
                @{ meta->prop->{plugin_build_cmake}->{args} },
                # ... put extra cmake args here ...
                '%{.install.extract}'
            ],
            '%{make}',
            '%{make} install',
          ];
        };

DESCRIPTION
       This plugin helps build alienized projects that use "cmake".  The
       intention is to make this a core Alien::Build plugin if/when it becomes
       stable enough.

       This plugin provides a meta property "plugin_build_cmake.args" which
       may change over time but for the moment includes:

        -G %{cmake_generator}                          \
        -DCMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE:BOOL=true    \
        -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=%{.install.prefix} \
        -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR:PATH=lib                \
        -DCMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM:PATH=%{make}

       This plugin supports out-of-source builds via the meta property
       "out_of_source".

METHODS
   cmake_generator
       Returns the "cmake" generator according to your Perl's "make".

   is_dmake
       Returns true if your Perls "make" appears to be "dmake".

HELPERS
   cmake
       This plugin replaces the default "cmake" helper with the one that comes
       from Alien::cmake3.

   cmake_generator
       This is the appropriate "cmake" generator to use based on the make used
       by your Perl.  This is frequently "Unix Makefiles".  One place where it
       may be different is if your Windows Perl uses "nmake", which comes with
       Visual C++.

   make
       This plugin may replace the default "make" helper if the default "make"
       is not supported by "cmake".  This is most often an issue with older
       versions of Strawberry Perl which used "dmake".  On Perls that use
       "dmake", this plugin will search for GNU Make in the PATH, and if it
       can't be found will fallback on using Alien::gmake.
