version 2.38

=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
perldoc Alien::Build::Manual::Alien
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The goal of the L<Alien> namespace is to provide non-CPAN dependencies (so called "Alien" dependencies) for
|
|
CPAN modules. The history and intent of this idea is documented in the documentation-only L<Alien> module.
|
|
The C<Alien-Build> distribution provides a framework for building aliens. The intent is to fix bugs and
|
|
enhance the interface of a number of common tools so that all aliens may benefit. The distribution is broken
|
|
up into these parts:
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item The Alien Installer (configure / build-time)
|
|
|
|
L<Alien::Build> and L<alienfile> are used to detect and install aliens. They are further documented in
|
|
L<Alien::Build::Manual::AlienAuthor>.
|
|
|
|
=item The Alien Runtime (runtime)
|
|
|
|
L<Alien::Base> is the base class for aliens in the C<Alien-Build> system. Its use by Alien consumers
|
|
is documented in L<Alien::Build::Manual::AlienUser>.
|
|
|
|
=item The Plugin system (configure / build-time)
|
|
|
|
Because many packages are implemented using different tools, the detection, build and install logic
|
|
for a particular L<Alien> can vary a lot. As such, much of L<Alien::Build> is implemented as a
|
|
series of plugins that inherit from L<Alien::Build::Plugin>. An overview of building your own
|
|
plugins is documented in L<Alien::Build::Manual::PluginAuthor>.
