Module::Build::XSUtil - A Module::Build class for building XS modules

Use in your Build.PL

use strict;
use warnings;
use Module::Build::XSUtil;

my $builder = Module::Build::XSUtil->new(
    dist_name            => 'Your-XS-Module',
    license              => 'perl',
    dist_author          => 'Your Name <[email protected]>',
    dist_version_from    => 'lib/Your/XS/Module',
    generate_ppport_h    => 'lib/Your/XS/ppport.h',
    generate_xshelper_h  => 'lib/Your/XS/xshelper.h',
    needs_compiler_c99   => 1,
);

$builder->create_build_script();

Use in custom builder module.

package builder::MyBuilder;
use strict;
use warnings;
use base 'Module::Build::XSUtil';

sub new {
    my ($class, %args) = @_;
    my $self = $class->SUPER::new(
        %args,
        generate_ppport_h    => 'lib/Your/XS/ppport.h',
        generate_xshelper_h  => 'lib/Your/XS/xshelper.h',
        needs_compiler_c99   => 1,
    );
    return $self;
}

Module::Build::XSUtil is subclass of Module::Build for support building XS modules.

This is a list of a new parameters in the Module::Build::new method:

• needs_compiler_c99

  This option checks C99 compiler's availability. If it's not available, Build.PL exits by 0.

• needs_compiler_cpp

  This option checks C++ compiler's availability. If it's not available, Build.PL exits by 0.

  In addition, append 'extra_compiler_flags' and 'extra_linker_flags' for C++.

• generate_ppport_h

  Genereate ppport.h by Devel::PPPort.

• generate_xshelper_h

  Genereate xshelper.h which is a helper header file to include EXTERN.h, perl.h, XSUB.h and ppport.h, and defines some portability stuff which are not supported by ppport.h.

  It is porting from Module::Install::XSUtil.

• cc_warnings

  Enable compiler warnings flag. It is enable by default.

• -g options

  If invoke Build.PL with '-g' option, It will build with debug options.
