NAME

       FFI::Build::MM - FFI::Build installer code for ExtUtils::MakeMaker

VERSION

       version 2.05

SYNOPSIS

       In your Makefile.PL:

        use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
        use FFI::Build::MM;

        my $fbmm = FFI::Build::MM->new;

        WriteMakefile($fbmm->mm_args(
          ABSTRACT     => 'My FFI extension',
          DISTNAME     => 'Foo-Bar-Baz-FFI',
          NAME         => 'Foo::Bar::Baz::FFI',
          VERSION_FROM => 'lib/Foo/Bar/Baz/FFI.pm',
          ...
        ));

        sub MY::postamble {
          $fbmm->mm_postamble;
        }

       Then put the C, C++ or Fortran files in "./ffi" for your runtime library and "./t/ffi" for
       your test time library.

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides a thin layer between FFI::Build and ExtUtils::MakeMaker.  Its
       interface is influenced by the design of Alien::Build::MM.  The idea is that for your
       distribution you throw some C, C++ or Fortran source files into a directory called "ffi"
       and these files will be compiled and linked into a library that can be used by your
       module.  There is a control file "ffi/*.fbx" which can be used to control the compiler and
       linker options.  (options passed directly into FFI::Build).  The interface for this file
       is still under development.

CONSTRUCTOR

   new
        my $fbmm = FFI::Build::MM->new;

       Create a new instance of FFI::Build::MM.

METHODS

   mm_args
        my %new_args = $fbmm->mm_args(%old_args);

       This method does two things:

       reads the arguments to determine sensible defaults (library name, install location, etc).
       adjusts the arguments as necessary and returns an updated set of arguments.

   mm_postamble
        my $postamble = $fbmm->mm_postamble;

       This returns the Makefile postamble used by ExtUtils::MakeMaker.  The synopsis above for
       how to invoke it properly.  It adds the following Make targets:

       fbx_build / ffi
           build the main runtime library in "./ffi".

       fbx_test / ffi-test
           Build the test library in "./t/ffi".

       fbx_clean / ffi-clean
           Clean any runtime or test libraries already built.

       Normally you do not need to build these targets manually, they will be built automatically
       at the appropriate stage.
