Alien::Build::Plugin::Build::Make(3)       User Contributed Perl Documentation


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

VERSION
       version 2.80

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.

       gmake
           GNU Make.

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

       umake
           Any UNIX "make"  Usually either BSD or GNU Make.

HELPERS
   make
        %{make}

       This plugin may change the make helper used by your alienfile recipe.
