NAME

ExtUtils::AutoConf - A module to implement some of AutoConf macros in pure perl.

VERSION

Version 0.00_002

ABSTRACT

With this module I pretend to simulate some of the tasks AutoConf macros do. To detect a command, to detect a library, etc.

SYNOPSIS

use ExtUtils::AutoConf;

ExtUtils::AutoConf->check_cc();

ExtUtils::AutoConf->check_lib("ncurses", "tgoto");

FUNCTIONS

check_cc

This function checks if you have a running C compiler.

check_lib

This function is used to check if a specific library includes some function. Call it with the library name (without the lib portion), and the name of the function you want to test:

ExtUtils::AutoConf->check_lib("z", "gzopen");

It returns 1 if the function exist, 0 otherwise.

A lot. Portability is a pain, and I just have a Linux machine. <Patches welcome>.

Please report any bugs or feature requests to bug-extutils-autoconf@rt.cpan.org, or through the web interface at http://rt.cpan.org. I will be notified, and then you'll automatically be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes.
