NAME

    Alien::Build::MB - Alien::Build installer class for Module::Build

VERSION

    version 0.09

SYNOPSIS

    In your Build.PL:

     use Alien::Build::MB;
     
     Alien::Build::MB->new(
       module_name => 'Alien::MyLibrary',
       ...
     );

DESCRIPTION

    This is a Module::Build subclass that uses Alien::Build to help create
    Alien distributions. The author recommends Alien::Build::MM, which uses
    ExtUtils::MakeMaker instead. The primary rationale for this class, is
    to prove independence from any particular installer, so that other
    installers may be added in the future if they become available. If you
    really do prefer to work with Module::Build though, this may be the
    installer for you!

CONSTRUCTOR

 new

     my $abmb = Alien::Build::MB->new(%args);

    Takes the usual Module::Build arguments.

PROPERTIES

    All Alien::Build::MB specific properties have a alien_ prefix.

 alien_alienfile_meta

    If true (the default), then extra meta will be stored in x_alienfile
    which includes the share and system prereqs.

METHODS

 alien_build

     my $build = $abmb->alien_build;

    Returns a freshly deserialized instance of Alien::Build. If you make
    any changes to this object's install_prop or runtime_prop properties be
    sure that you also call $build->checkpoint!

ACTIONS

    These actions should automatically be called during the normal install
    process. For debugging you may want to call them separately.

 ACTION_alien_download

     ./Build alien_download

    Downloads the package from the internet. For a system install this does
    not do anything.

 ACTION_alien_build

     ./Build alien_build

    Build the package from source.

 ACTION_alien_test

     ./Build alien_test

    Run the package tests, if there are any.
