Perl bindings for the CommonMark C library

This module is a wrapper around libcmark, the official CommonMark C library.

Installation of libcmark

Please note that the libcmark API isn't stable yet. This version of the Perl bindings is known to work with version 0.23.0. But there's no guarantee that it can be compiled with later versions. Also note that upgrading libcmark may require recompilation of the Perl module. For the time being, the version of the Perl bindings is kept in sync with the lowest supported libcmark version.

curl -LJO https://github.com/jgm/cmark/archive/0.23.0.tar.gz
tar xzf cmark-0.23.0.tar.gz
cd cmark-0.23.0
make [INSTALL_PREFIX=/prefix]
make test
make install

See the libcmark README for details.

Installation from a CPAN tarball

If libcmark is in a standard location:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

Otherwise:

perl Makefile.PL \
    INC="-I/prefix/include" \
    LIBS="-L/prefix/lib -lcmark"
make
make test
make install

See the documentation of ExtUtils::MakeMaker for additional options. The PERL_MM_OPT environment variable is especially useful.

export PERL_MM_OPT='INC="-I..." LIBS="-L... -lcmark"'

Build from a repository checkout

You need Dist::Zilla with the external plugin MakeMaker::Awesome. Then you can build and test with dzil:

dzil test
dzil build
