VERSION

version 0.001

SYNOPSIS

use Alien::Libgit2;

# For XS consumers
my $cflags = Alien::Libgit2->cflags;
my $libs   = Alien::Libgit2->libs;

# For FFI consumers (FFI::Platypus, Git::Libgit2)
my @libs = Alien::Libgit2->dynamic_libs;

DESCRIPTION

Alien::Libgit2 provides the C library libgit2 for use by other CPAN modules that need to link against it.

It first checks whether a system libgit2 (>= 1.5) is available via pkg-config. If not, it builds libgit2 from a bundled source tarball using CMake. No network access is required during install.
