Alien::Build::Plugin::Probe::CBuilder(3)   User Contributed Perl Documentation


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

VERSION
       version 2.80

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

   libs

   program
