NAME

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::AlienBuild - Use Alien::Build with Dist::Zilla

VERSION

version 0.08

SYNOPSIS

[AlienBuild]

DESCRIPTION

This Dist::Zilla plugin is designed to help create Alien modules using the alienfile and Alien::Build recipe system with Alien::Base. The intent is that you will maintain your alienfile as you normally would, and this plugin will ensure the right prereqs are specified in the META.json and other things that are easy to get not quite right.

Specifically, this plugin:

adds prereqs

Adds the configure requirements to your dist configure requires. It adds the any requirements from your alienfile to your dist build requires.

adjusts Makefile.PL

Adjusts your Makefile.Pl to use Alien::Build::MM. If you are using ExtUtils::MakeMaker.

sets the mb_class for Build.PL

sets mb_class to Alien::Build::MB on the Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ModuleBuild plugin. If you are using Module::Build.

turn on dynamic prereqs

Which are used by most Alien::Build based Alien distributions.
