It is mainly designed to be used at install time of a CPAN client, and work closely with L which is used at runtime. This is the detailed documentation for the L class. If you are starting out you probably want to do so from one of these documents: =over 4 =item L For users of an C that is implemented using L. (The developer of C I provide the documentation necessary, but if not, this is the place to start). =item L If you are writing your own L based on L and L. =item L If you have a common question that has already been answered, like "How do I use L with some build system". =item L This is for the brave souls who want to write plugins that will work with L + L. =back Note that you will usually not usually create a L instance directly, but rather be using a thin installer layer, such as L (for use with L). One of the goals of this project is to remain installer agnostic. =head1 CONSTRUCTOR =head2 new my $build = Alien::Build->new; This creates a new empty instance of L. Normally you will want to use C below to create an instance of L from an L recipe. =head1 PROPERTIES There are three main properties for L. There are a number of properties documented here with a specific usage. Note that these properties may need to be serialized into something primitive like JSON that does not support: regular expressions, code references of blessed objects. If you are writing a plugin (L) you should use a prefix like "plugin_I" (where I is the name of your plugin) so that it does not interfere with other plugin or future versions of L. For example, if you were writing C, please use the prefix C: sub init { my($self, $meta) = @_; $meta->prop( plugin_fetch_newprotocol_foo => 'some value' ); $meta->register_hook( some_hook => sub { my($build) = @_; $build->install_prop->{plugin_fetch_newprotocol_bar} = 'some other value'; $build->runtime_prop->{plugin_fetch_newprotocol_baz} = 'and another value'; } ); } If you are writing a L recipe please use the prefix C: use alienfile; meta_prop->{my_foo} = 'some value'; probe sub { my($build) = @_; $build->install_prop->{my_bar} = 'some other value'; $build->install_prop->{my_baz} = 'and another value'; }; Any property may be used from a command: probe [ 'some command %{.meta.plugin_fetch_newprotocol_foo}' ]; probe [ 'some command %{.install.plugin_fetch_newprotocol_bar}' ]; probe [ 'some command %{.runtime.plugin_fetch_newprotocol_baz}' ]; probe [ 'some command %{.meta.my_foo}' ]; probe [ 'some command %{.install.my_bar}' ]; probe [ 'some command %{.runtime.my_baz}' ]; =head2 meta_prop my $href = $build->meta_prop; my $href = Alien::Build->meta_prop; Meta properties have to do with the recipe itself, and not any particular instance that probes or builds that recipe. Meta properties can be changed from within an L using the C directive, or from a plugin from its C method (though should NOT be modified from any hooks registered within that C method). This is not strictly enforced, but if you do not follow this rule your recipe will likely be broken. =over =item arch This is a hint to an installer like L or L, that the library or tool contains architecture dependent files and so should be stored in an architecture dependent location. If not specified by your L then it will be set to true. =item destdir Use the C environment variable to stage your install before copying the files into C. This is the preferred method of installing libraries because it improves reliability. This technique is supported by C and others. =item destdir_filter Regular expression for the files that should be copied from the C into the stage directory. If not defined, then all files will be copied. =item destdir_ffi_filter Same as C except applies to C instead of C. =item env Environment variables to override during the build stage. =item env_interpolate Environment variable values will be interpolated with helpers. Example: meta->prop->{env_interpolate} = 1; meta->prop->{env}->{PERL} = '%{perl}'; =item local_source Set to true if source code package is available locally. (that is not fetched over the internet). This is computed by default based on the C property. Can be set by an L or plugin. =item platform Hash reference. Contains information about the platform beyond just C<$^O>. =over 4 =item compiler_type Refers to the type of flags that the compiler accepts. May be expanded in the future, but for now, will be one of: =over 4 =item microsoft On Windows when using Microsoft Visual C++ =item unix Virtually everything else, including gcc on windows. =back The main difference is that with Visual C++ C<-LIBPATH> should be used instead of C<-L>, and static libraries should have the C<.LIB> suffix instead of C<.a>. =item system_type C<$^O> is frequently good enough to make platform specific logic in your L, this handles the case when $^O can cover platforms that provide multiple environments that Perl might run under. The main example is windows, but others may be added in the future. =over 4 =item unix =item vms =item windows-activestate =item windows-microsoft =item windows-mingw =item windows-strawberry =item windows-unknown =back Note that C and C are considered C even though they run on windows! =back =item out_of_source Build in a different directory from the where the source code is stored. In autoconf this is referred to as a "VPATH" build. Everyone else calls this an "out-of-source" build. When this property is true, instead of extracting to the source build root, the downloaded source will be extracted to an source extraction directory and the source build root will be empty. You can use the C install property to get the location of the extracted source. =item network True if a network fetch is available. This should NOT be set by an L or plugin. This is computed based on the C environment variables. =item start_url The default or start URL used by fetch plugins. =back =head2 install_prop my $href = $build->install_prop; Install properties are used during the install phase (either under C or C install). They are remembered for the entire install phase, but not kept around during the runtime phase. Thus they cannot be accessed from your L based module. =over =item autoconf_prefix The prefix as understood by autoconf. This is only different on Windows Where MSYS is used and paths like C are represented as C which are understood by the MSYS tools, but not by Perl. You should only use this if you are using L in your L. =item download The location of the downloaded archive (tar.gz, or similar) or directory. =item env Environment variables to override during the build stage. =item extract The location of the last source extraction. For a "out-of-source" build (see the C meta property above), this will only be set once. For other types of builds, the source code may be extracted multiple times, and thus this property may change. =item old Hash containing information on a previously installed Alien of the same name, if available. This may be useful in cases where you want to reuse the previous install if it is still sufficient. =over 4 =item prefix The prefix for the previous install. =item runtime The runtime properties from the previous install. =back =item patch Directory with patches. =item prefix The install time prefix. Under a C install this is the same as the runtime or final install location. Under a non-C install this is the C directory (usually the appropriate share directory under C). =item root The build root directory. This will be an absolute path. It is the absolute form of C<./_alien> by default. =item stage The stage directory where files will be copied. This is usually the root of the blib share directory. =back =head2 runtime_prop my $href = $build->runtime_prop; Runtime properties are used during the install and runtime phases (either under C or C install). This should include anything that you will need to know to use the library or tool during runtime, and shouldn't include anything that is no longer relevant once the install process is complete. =over 4 =item alien_build_version The version of L used to install the library or tool. =item alt Alternate configurations. If the alienized package has multiple libraries this could be used to store the different compiler or linker flags for each library. =item cflags The compiler flags =item cflags_static The static compiler flags =item command The command name for tools where the name my differ from platform to platform. For example, the GNU version of make is usually C in Linux and C on FreeBSD. =item ffi_name The name DLL or shared object "name" to use when searching for dynamic libraries at runtime. This is passed into L, so if your library is something like C or C you would set this to C. This may be a string or an array of strings. =item install_type The install type. Is one of: =over 4 =item system For when the library or tool is provided by the operating system, can be detected by L, and is considered satisfactory by the C recipe. =item share For when a system install is not possible, the library source will be downloaded from the internet or retrieved in another appropriate fashion and built. =back =item libs The library flags =item libs_static The static library flags =item perl_module_version The version of the Perl module used to install the alien (if available). For example if L is installing C this would be the version of L used during the install step. =item prefix The final install root. This is usually they share directory. =item version The version of the library or tool =back =head2 hook_prop my $href = $build->hook_prop; Hook properties are for the currently running (if any) hook. They are used only during the execution of each hook and are discarded after. If no hook is currently running then C will return C. =over 4 =item name The name of the currently running hook. =back =head1 METHODS =head2 load my $build = Alien::Build->load($alienfile); This creates an L instance with the given L recipe. =head2 checkpoint $build->checkpoint; Save any install or runtime properties so that they can be reloaded on a subsequent run. This is useful if your build needs to be done in multiple stages from a C, such as with L. =head2 resume my $build = Alien::Build->resume($alienfile, $root); Load a checkpointed L instance. You will need the original L and the build root (usually C<_alien>). =head2 root my $dir = $build->root; This is just a shortcut for: my $root = $build->install_prop->{root}; Except that it will be created if it does not already exist. =head2 install_type my $type = $build->install_type; This will return the install type. (See the like named install property above for details). This method will call C if it has not already been called. =head2 set_prefix $build->set_prefix($prefix); Set the final (unstaged) prefix. This is normally only called by L and similar modules. It is not intended for use from plugins or from an L. =head2 set_stage $build->set_stage($dir); Sets the stage directory. This is normally only called by L and similar modules. It is not intended for use from plugins or from an L. =head2 requires my $hash = $build->requires($phase); Returns a hash reference of the modules required for the given phase. Phases include: =over 4 =item configure These modules must already be available when the L is read. =item any These modules are used during either a C or C install. =item share These modules are used during the build phase of a C install. =item system These modules are used during the build phase of a C install. =back =head2 load_requires $build->load_requires($phase); This loads the appropriate modules for the given phase (see C above for a description of the phases). =head2 probe my $install_type = $build->probe; Attempts to determine if the operating system has the library or tool already installed. If so, then the string C will be returned and a system install will be performed. If not, then the string C will be installed and the tool or library will be downloaded and built from source. If the environment variable C is set, then that will force a specific type of install. If the detection logic cannot accommodate the install type requested then it will fail with an exception. =head2 download $build->download; Download the source, usually as a tarball, usually from the internet. Under a C install this does not do anything. =head2 fetch my $res = $build->fetch; my $res = $build->fetch($url); Fetch a resource using the fetch hook. Returns the same hash structure described below in the hook documentation. =head2 decode my $decoded_res = $build->decode($res); Decode the HTML or file listing returned by C. Returns the same hash structure described below in the hook documentation. =head2 prefer my $sorted_res = $build->prefer($res); Filter and sort candidates. The preferred candidate will be returned first in the list. The worst candidate will be returned last. Returns the same hash structure described below in the hook documentation. =head2 extract my $dir = $build->extract; my $dir = $build->extract($archive); Extracts the given archive into a fresh directory. This is normally called internally to L, and for normal usage is not needed from a plugin or L. =head2 build $build->build; Run the build step. It is expected that C and C have already been performed. What it actually does depends on the type of install: =over 4 =item share The source is extracted, and built as determined by the L recipe. If there is a C that will be executed last. =item system The C hook will be executed. =back =head2 test $build->test; Run the test phase =head2 system $build->system($command); $build->system($command, @args); Interpolates the command and arguments and run the results using the Perl C command. =head2 log $build->log($message); Send a message to the log. By default this prints to C. =head2 meta my $meta = Alien::Build->meta; my $meta = $build->meta; Returns the meta object for your L class or instance. The meta object is a way to manipulate the recipe, and so any changes to the meta object should be made before the C, C or C steps. =head1 META METHODS =head2 prop my $href = $build->meta->prop; Meta properties. This is the same as calling C on the class or L instance. =head2 add_requires Alien::Build->meta->add_requires($phase, $module => $version, ...); Add the requirement to the given phase. Phase should be one of: =over 4 =item configure =item any =item share =item system =back =head2 interpolator my $interpolator = $build->meta->interpolator; my $interpolator = Alien::Build->interpolator; Returns the L instance for the L class. =head2 has_hook my $bool = $build->meta->has_hook($name); my $bool = Alien::Build->has_hook($name); Returns if there is a usable hook registered with the given name. =head2 register_hook $build->meta->register_hook($name, $instructions); Alien::Build->meta->register_hook($name, $instructions); Register a hook with the given name. C<$instruction> should be either a code reference, or a command sequence, which is an array reference. =head2 default_hook $build->meta->default_hook($name, $instructions); Alien::Build->meta->default_hook($name, $instructions); Register a default hook, which will be used if the L does not register its own hook with that name. =head2 around_hook $build->meta->around_hook($hook, $code); Alien::Build->meta->around_hook($name, $code); Wrap the given hook with a code reference. This is similar to a L method modifier, except that it wraps around the given hook instead of a method. For example, this will add a probe system requirement: $build->meta->around_hook( probe => sub { my $orig = shift; my $build = shift; my $type = $orig->($build, @_); return $type unless $type eq 'system'; # also require a configuration file if(-f '/etc/foo.conf') { return 'system'; } else { return 'share'; } }, ); =head2 apply_plugin Alien::Build->meta->apply_plugin($name); Alien::Build->meta->apply_plugin($name, @args); Apply the given plugin with the given arguments. =head1 ENVIRONMENT L responds to these environment variables: =over 4 =item ALIEN_INSTALL_NETWORK If set to true (the default), then network fetch will be allowed. If set to false, then network fetch will not be allowed. What constitutes a local vs. network fetch is determined based on the C and C meta properties. An L or plugin C override this detection (possibly inappropriately), so this variable is not a substitute for properly auditing of Perl modules for environments that require that. =item ALIEN_INSTALL_TYPE If set to C or C, it will override the system detection logic. If set to C, it will use the default setting for the L. The behavior of other values is undefined. =item ALIEN_BUILD_RC Perl source file which can override some global defaults for L, by, for example, setting preload and postload plugins. =item ALIEN_BUILD_PKG_CONFIG Override the logic in L which chooses the best C plugin. =item ALIEN_BUILD_PRELOAD semicolon separated list of plugins to automatically load before parsing your L. =item ALIEN_BUILD_PRELOAD semicolon separated list of plugins to automatically load after parsing your L. =item DESTDIR This environment variable will be manipulated during a destdir install. =item PKG_CONFIG This environment variable can be used to override the program name for C for some PkgConfig plugins: L. =item ftp_proxy, all_proxy If these environment variables are set, it may influence the Download negotiation plugin L. Other proxy variables may be used by some Fetch plugins, if they support it. =back =head1 SUPPORT The intent of the C team is to support as best as possible all Perls from 5.8.1 to the latest production version. So long as they are also supported by the Perl toolchain. Please feel encouraged to report issues that you encounter to the project GitHub Issue tracker: =over 4 =item L =back Better if you can fix the issue yourself, please feel encouraged to open pull-request on the project GitHub: =over 4 =item L =back If you are confounded and have questions, join us on the C<#native> channel on irc.perl.org. The C developers frequent this channel and can probably help point you in the right direction.

Thanks to his support I have been able to augment the original L system with a reliable set of tools (L, L, L), which make up this toolset. The original L is still copyright (c) 2012-2017 Joel Berger. It has the same license as the rest of the Alien::Build and related tools distributed as C. Joel Berger thanked a number of people who helped in in the development of L, in the documentation for that module. I would also like to acknowledge the other members of the Perl5-Alien github organization, Zakariyya Mughal (sivoais, ZMUGHAL) and mohawk (ETJ). Also important in the early development of L were the early adopters Chase Whitener (genio, CAPOEIRAB, author of L), William N. Braswell, Jr (willthechill, WBRASWELL, author of L and L) and Ahmad Fatoum (a3f, ATHREEF, author of L and L). =head1 AUTHOR Author: Graham Ollis Eplicease@cpan.orgE Contributors: Diab Jerius (DJERIUS) Roy Storey Ilya Pavlov David Mertens (run4flat) Mark Nunberg (mordy, mnunberg) Christian Walde (Mithaldu) Brian Wightman (MidLifeXis) Zaki Mughal (zmughal) mohawk (mohawk2, ETJ) Vikas N Kumar (vikasnkumar) Flavio Poletti (polettix) Salvador Fandiño (salva) Gianni Ceccarelli (dakkar) Pavel Shaydo (zwon, trinitum) Kang-min Liu (劉康民, gugod) Nicholas Shipp (nshp) Juan Julián Merelo Guervós (JJ) Joel Berger (JBERGER) Petr Pisar (ppisar) Lance Wicks (LANCEW) Ahmad Fatoum (a3f, ATHREEF) José Joaquín Atria (JJATRIA) Duke Leto (LETO) Shoichi Kaji (SKAJI) =head1 COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is copyright (c) 2017 by Graham Ollis.
