NAME

       Alien::Build::Plugin::Build::CMake - CMake plugin for Alien::Build

VERSION

       version 2.80

SYNOPSIS

        use alienfile;

        share {
          plugin 'Build::CMake';
          build [
            # this is the default build step, if you do not specify one.
            [ '%{cmake}',
                @{ meta->prop->{plugin_build_cmake}->{args} },
                # ... put extra cmake args here ...
                '%{.install.extract}'
            ],
            '%{make}',
            '%{make} install',
          ];
        };

DESCRIPTION

       This plugin helps build alienized projects that use "cmake".  The intention is to make
       this a core Alien::Build plugin if/when it becomes stable enough.

       This plugin provides a meta property "plugin_build_cmake.args" which may change over time
       but for the moment includes:

        -G %{cmake_generator}                          \
        -DCMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE:BOOL=true    \
        -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=%{.install.prefix} \
        -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR:PATH=lib                \
        -DCMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM:PATH=%{make}

       This plugin supports out-of-source builds via the meta property "out_of_source".

METHODS

   cmake_generator
       Returns the "cmake" generator according to your Perl's "make".

   is_dmake
       Returns true if your Perls "make" appears to be "dmake".

HELPERS

   cmake
       This plugin replaces the default "cmake" helper with the one that comes from
       Alien::cmake3.

   cmake_generator
       This is the appropriate "cmake" generator to use based on the make used by your Perl.
       This is frequently "Unix Makefiles".  One place where it may be different is if your
       Windows Perl uses "nmake", which comes with Visual C++.

   make
       This plugin may replace the default "make" helper if the default "make" is not supported
       by "cmake".  This is most often an issue with older versions of Strawberry Perl which used
       "dmake".  On Perls that use "dmake", this plugin will search for GNU Make in the PATH, and
       if it can't be found will fallback on using Alien::gmake.
