NAME

Alien::IUP - Building, finding and using iup + related libraries - http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/iup/

VERSION

SYNOPSIS

IMPORTANT: This module is not a perl binding for iup + related libraries; it is just a helper module. The real perl binding is implemented by IUP module, which is using Alien::IUP to locate iup + related libraries on your system (or build it from source codes).

Alien::IUP installation comprise of:

  • Downloading iup & co. source code tarballs

  • Building iup & co. binaries from source codes (note: static libraries are build)

  • Installing libs and dev files (*.h, *.a) into share directory of Alien::IUP distribution - share directory is usually something like this: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.18/auto/share/dist/Alien-IUP

Later on you can use Alien::IUP in your module that needs to link with iup and/or related libs like this:

# Sample Makefile.pl
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
use Alien::IUP;

WriteMakefile(
  NAME         => 'Any::IUP::Module',
  VERSION_FROM => 'lib/Any/IUP/Module.pm',
  LIBS         => Alien::IUP->config('LIBS'),
  INC          => Alien::IUP->config('INC'),
  # + additional params
);

IMPORTANT: As Alien::IUP builds static libraries the modules using Alien::IUP (e.g. IUP) need to have Alien::IUP just for building, not for later use. In other words Alien:IUP is just "build dependency" not "run-time dependency".

METHODS

config()

This function is the main public interface to this module.

Alien::IUP->config('LIBS');

Returns a string like: '-L/path/to/iupdir/lib -liup -lim -lcd'

Alien::IUP->config('INC');

Returns a string like: '-I/path/to/iupdir/include'

Alien::IUP->config('PREFIX');

Returns a string like: '/path/to/iupdir' (note: if using the already installed iup config('PREFIX') returns undef)

havelib()

Checks the presence of given iup related libraries.

Alien::IUP->havelib('iupim');
#or
Alien::IUP->havelib('iupim', 'iupcd', 'iupcontrols');

Parameter(s): One or more iup related lib names - e.g. iup, cd, im, iupcd, iupim, iupcontrols, iup_pplot, iupimglib, iupgl, iupole.

Returns: 1 if all libs specified as a param are available; 0 otherwise.
