NAME

Alien::premake5 - Build or find premake5

SYNOPSIS

use Alien::premake5;
use Env qw( @PATH );

unshift @ENV, Alien::premake5->bin_dir;
my $premake = Alien::premake5->exe;
system $premake, 'gmake';

DESCRIPTION

Premake is a build tool that allows a software project to be described with a single common build script, which can then be used to generate project files for building under a wide variety of build environments.

Alien::premake5 uses Alien::Build to make it easier to use premake in a Perl application or project.

This distribution will find an available version of premake5, or attempt to build one from source.

METHODS

• exe

    my $premake = Alien::premake5->exe;
  

  Returns the name of the premake executable. Currently, this should be premake5.

  When using the executable compiled by this distribution, you will need to make sure that the directories returned by bin_dir are added to your PATH environment variable. For more info, check the documentation of Alien::Build.

HELPERS

• premake5

  The %{premake5} string will be interpolated by Alien::Build into the name of the premake5 executable (as returned by exe);
