Now the installation fails in because the test 20-xgboost_command.t can't execute xgboost command because it lacks the executable flag.

I'm going to revert back to use %{cp} helper that preserves this.
The library seems to work fine without the executable flag.

After this I'm going to make a new release because there are a lot of fails in CPAN Testers (see Matrix

XGBoost works on windows (see: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/tqchen/xgboost). It's using MSVC but at least this package should support Strawberry Perl

I'm not able to make a working system install.
When I return 'system' from probe phase then the installed Alien::XGBoost module has dynamic_libs empty.
I've tried with this gather phase:

probe sub {
   ($library) = FFI::CheckLib::find_lib_or_die(lib => 'xgboost',
       verify => sub {
            my($name, $libpath) = @_;
            my $platypus = FFI::Platypus->new;
            $platypus->lib($libpath);
            # This function was defined recently
            my $f = $platypus->function('XGDMatrixCreateFromMat_omp', [] => 'int'); 
        }
    );
    return (defined $library ? 'system' : 'share');
};

sys {
    gather sub {
         my ($build) = @_;
         $build->runtime_prop->{dynamic} = $library
    };
};

XGBoost CMake fails without OpenMP support. This is a known issue and there is a pull request in progress dmlc/xgboost#2613

I'm going to wait to the pull request being merged. But if it's not merged by October 1st, I'll add a check in the alienfile.

This was detected thanks to CPAN Testers!! See for example: Perl 5.27.3 FreeBSD or better the full matrix

I'm unable to install the Alien::XGBoost library using the default installation of strawberry perl on windows 10. I'm using the 64-bit version of strawberry perl. When installing Alien::XGBoost, I receive an error on line 49 in the commandsequence.pm file as shown below.
