NAME

ExtUtils::Builder::AutoDetect::C - compiler configuration, derived from perl's configuration

VERSION

version 0.016

SYNOPSIS

 my $planner = ExtUtils::Builder::Planner->new;
 $planner->load_module('ExtUtils::Builder::AutoDetect::C', '0.001',
	profile => '@Perl',
	type    => 'loadable-object',
 );
 $planner->compile('foo.c', 'foo.o', include_dirs => ['.']);
 $planner->link([ 'foo.o' ], 'foo.so', libraries => ['foo']);
 my $plan = $planner->materialize;
 $plan->run(['foo.so']);

DESCRIPTION

This module is a ExtUtils::Builder::Planner::Extension that facilitates compiling object.

METHODS

add_methods(%options)

This adds two delegate methods to the planner, compile and link. It takes named arguments that will be prefixed to the named arguments for all delegate calls. In practice, it's mainly useful with the config, profile and type arguments.

If your $planner has a config delegate, that will be used as default value for config.

This is usually not called directly, but through ExtUtils::Builder::Planner's load_module method.

link(\@sources, $target, %options)

type

This works the same as with compile.

config

This works the same as with compile.

profile

This works the same as with compile.

libraries

A list of libraries to link to. E.g. ['z'].

library_dirs

A list of directories to find libraries in. E.g. ['/opt/my-app/lib/'].

extra_args

A list of additional arguments to the linker.

DELEGATES

compile($source, $target, %options)

This compiles $source to $target. It takes the following optional arguments:

type

The type of the final product. This must be one of:

• executable

  An executable to be run. This is the default.

• static-library

  A static library to link against.

• dynamic-library

  A dynamic library to link against.

• loadable-object

  A loadable extension. On most platforms this is the same as a dynamic library, but some (Mac) make a distinction between these two.

config

A Perl configuration to take hints from, must be an ExtUtils::Config compatible object.

profile

A profile to be used when compiling and linking. One profile comes with this distribution: '@Perl', which sets up the appropriate things to compile/link with libperl.

include_dirs

A list of directories to add to the include path, e.g. ['include', '.'].

define

A hash of preprocessor defines, e.g. {DEBUG => 1, HAVE_FEATURE => 0 }

extra_args

A list of additional arguments to the compiler.
