NAME
Alien::CMake - Build and make available CMake library -
VERSION
Version 0.11
SYNOPSIS
Alien::CMake during its installation does one of the following:
* Builds *CMake* binaries from source codes and installs dev files
(headers: *.h, static library: *.a) into *share* directory of
Alien::CMake distribution.
Later you can use Alien::CMake in your module that needs to link with
*libode* like this:
# Sample Build.pl
use Module::Build;
use Alien::CMake;
my $build = Module::Build->new(
module_name => 'Any::CMake::Module',
# + other params
build_requires => {
'Alien::CMake' => 0,
# + others modules
},
configure_requires => {
'Alien::CMake' => 0,
# + others modules
},
extra_compiler_flags => Alien::CMake->config('cflags'),
extra_linker_flags => Alien::CMake->config('libs'),
)->create_build_script;
NOTE: Alien::CMake is required only for building not for using
'Any::CMake::Module'.
DESCRIPTION
Please consider using Alien::cmake3 instead. It uses newer Alien
technology and is more reliable. In particular, this module will
download very old binaries for some platforms (some from the 2.x
series). In addition Alien::cmake3 will build from source if binaries
are not available for your platform. Also Alien::cmake3 integrates more
naturally with alienfile and Alien::Build.
In short "Alien::CMake" can be used to detect and get configuration
settings from an already installed CMake. It offers also an option to
download CMake source codes and build binaries from scratch.
METHODS
config()
This function is the main public interface to this module:
Alien::CMake->config('prefix');
Alien::CMake->config('version');
Alien::CMake->config('libs');
Alien::CMake->config('cflags');
bin_dir()
For compatability with Alien::Base, this will return the path containing
"cmake" or empty list if it is already in the "PATH".
