NAME

       ExtUtils::LibBuilder - A tool to build C libraries.

SYNOPSIS

           use ExtUtils::LibBuilder;
           my $libbuilder = ExtUtils::LibBuilder->new( %options );

METHODS

       Supports all the method from ExtUtils::CBuilder. The following three methods were adapted
       to be used in standalone C libraries.

   new
       This method creates a new ExtUtils::LibBuilder object. While it supports all
       "ExtUtils::CBuilder" methods some might work slightly differently (namely the two below).

       You can supply to the constructor any option recognized by "ExtUtils::CBuilder"
       constructor. None of them will be used by "LibBuilder".

   link
          $libbuilder -> link( objects     => [ "foo.o", "bar.o" ],
                               module_name => "foobar",
                               lib_file    => "libfoobar$libbuilder->{libext}");

       Options to the link method are the same as the "CBuilder" counterpart. Note that the
       result is a standalone C Library and not a bundle to be loaded by Perl.

       Also, note that you can use the "libext" key to retrieve from the object the common
       library extension on the running system (including the dot).

   link_executable
         $libbuilder->link_executable( objects => ["main.o"],
                                       extra_linker_flags => "-L. -lfoobar",
                                       exe_file => "foobarcmd$libbuilder->{exeext}");

       The "link_executable" needs, as "extra_linker_flags" options, the name of the library and
       the search path. Future versions might include better handling on the library files.

       Also, note that you can use the "exeext" key to retrieve from the object the common
       executable extension on the running system (including the dot).
