It load the alienfile recipe in the root of your Alien dist, updates the prereqs passed into \f(CW\*(C`WriteMakefile\*(C'\fR if any are specified by your alienfile or its plugins, and adds a postamble to the \f(CW\*(C`Makefile\*(C'\fR that will download/build/test the alienized package as appropriate. .PP The alienfile must be named \f(CW\*(C`alienfile\*(C'\fR. .PP If you are using Dist::Zilla to author your Alien dist, you should consider using the Dist::Zilla::Plugin::AlienBuild plugin. .PP I personally don't recommend it, but if you want to use Module::Build instead, you can use Alien::Build::MB. .SH "CONSTRUCTOR" .IX Header "CONSTRUCTOR" .SS "new" .IX Subsection "new" .Vb 1 \& my $abmm = Alien::Build::MM\->new; .Ve .PP Create a new instance of Alien::Build::MM. .SH "PROPERTIES" .IX Header "PROPERTIES" .SS "build" .IX Subsection "build" .Vb 1 \& my $build = $abmm\->build; .Ve .PP The Alien::Build instance. .SS "alienfile_meta" .IX Subsection "alienfile_meta" .Vb 1 \& my $bool = $abmm\->alienfile_meta .Ve .PP Set to a false value, in order to turn off the x_alienfile meta .SS "clean_install" .IX Subsection "clean_install" .Vb 1 \& my $bool = $abmm\->clean_install; .Ve .PP Set to a true value, in order to clean the share directory prior to installing.

Does nothing for a system install. .IP "alien_build" 4 .IX Item "alien_build" Build from source (if a share install). Gather configuration (for either system or share install). .IP "alien_prop, alien_prop_meta, alien_prop_install, alien_prop_runtime" 4 .IX Item "alien_prop, alien_prop_meta, alien_prop_install, alien_prop_runtime" Prints the meta, install and runtime properties for the Alien. .IP "alien_realclean, alien_clean" 4 .IX Item "alien_realclean, alien_clean" Removes the alien specific files. These targets are executed when you call the \f(CW\*(C`realclean\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`clean\*(C'\fR targets respectively. .IP "alien_clean_install" 4 .IX Item "alien_clean_install" Cleans out the Alien's share directory. Caution should be used in invoking this target directly, as if you do not understand what you are doing you are likely to break your already installed Alien. .SS "mm_install" .IX Subsection "mm_install" .Vb 3 \& sub MY::install { \& $abmm\->mm_install(@_); \& } .Ve .PP \&\fB\s-1EXPERIMENTAL\s0\fR .PP Adds an install rule to clean the final install dist directory prior to installing. .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" Alien::Build, Alien::Base, Alien, Dist::Zilla::Plugin::AlienBuild, Alien::Build::MB .SH "AUTHOR" .IX Header "AUTHOR" Author: Graham Ollis <plicease@cpan.org> .PP Contributors: .PP Diab Jerius (\s-1DJERIUS\s0) .PP Roy Storey (\s-1KIWIROY\s0) .PP Ilya Pavlov .PP David Mertens (run4flat) .PP Mark Nunberg (mordy, mnunberg) .PP Christian Walde (Mithaldu) .PP Brian Wightman (MidLifeXis) .PP Zaki Mughal (zmughal) .PP mohawk (mohawk2, \s-1ETJ\s0) .PP Vikas N Kumar (vikasnkumar) .PP Flavio Poletti (polettix) .PP Salvador Fandiño (salva) .PP Gianni Ceccarelli (dakkar) .PP Pavel Shaydo (zwon, trinitum) .PP Kang-min Liu (劉康民, gugod) .PP Nicholas Shipp (nshp) .PP Juan Julián Merelo Guervós (\s-1JJ\s0) .PP Joel Berger (\s-1JBERGER\s0) .PP Petr Písař (ppisar) .PP Lance Wicks (\s-1LANCEW\s0) .PP Ahmad Fatoum (a3f, \s-1ATHREEF\s0) .PP José Joaquín Atria (\s-1JJATRIA\s0) .PP Duke Leto (\s-1LETO\s0) .PP Shoichi Kaji (\s-1SKAJI\s0) .PP Shawn Laffan (\s-1SLAFFAN\s0) .PP Paul Evans (leonerd, \s-1PEVANS\s0) .PP Håkon Hægland (hakonhagland, \s-1HAKONH\s0) .PP nick nauwelaerts (\s-1INPHOBIA\s0) .PP Florian Weimer .SH "COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE" .IX Header "COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE" This software is copyright (c) 2011\-2022 by Graham Ollis. .PP This is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as the Perl 5 programming language system itself.
