NAME Alien::Build::Plugin::Build::Make - Make plugin for Alien::Build VERSION version 0.02 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 makes 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.
