NAME

Alien::Build::Plugin::Build::MSYS - MSYS plugin for Alien::Build

VERSION

version 0.21

SYNOPSIS

use alienfile;
plugin 'Build::MSYS' => ();

DESCRIPTION

This plugin sets up the MSYS environment for your build on Windows. It does not do anything on non-windows platforms. MSYS provides the essential tools for building software that is normally expected in a UNIX or POSIX environment. This like sh, awk and make. To provide MSYS, this plugin uses Alien::MSYS.

HELPERS

make

%{make}

On windows the default %{make} helper is replace with the make that comes with Alien::MSYS. This is almost certainly what you want, as most unix style make projects will not build with nmake or dmake typically used by Perl on Windows.
