NAME

       Alien::Build::Plugin::Build::Make - Make plugin for Alien::Build

VERSION

       version 2.80

SYNOPSIS

        use alienfile;
        # For a recipe that requires GNU Make
        plugin 'Build::Make' => 'gmake';

DESCRIPTION

       By default Alien::Build provides a helper for the "make" that is used by Perl and ExtUtils::MakeMaker
       itself.  This is handy, because it is the one make that you can mostly guarantee that you will have.
       Unfortunately it may be a "make" that isn't supported by the library or tool that you are trying to
       alienize.  This is mostly a problem on Windows, where the supported "make"s for years were Microsoft's
       "nmake" and Sun's "dmake", which many open source projects do not use.  This plugin will alter the
       alienfile recipe to use a different "make".  It may (as in the case of "gmake" / Alien::gmake)
       automatically download and install an alienized version of that "make" if it is not already installed.

       This plugin should NOT be used with other plugins that replace the "make" helper, like
       Alien::Build::Plugin::Build::CMake, Alien::Build::Plugin::Build::Autoconf,
       Alien::Build::Plugin::Build::MSYS.  This plugin is intended instead for projects that use vanilla
       makefiles of a specific type.

       This plugin is for now distributed separately from Alien::Build, but the intention is for it to soon
       become a core plugin for Alien::Build.

PROPERTIES

   make_type
       The make type needed by the alienfile recipe:

       dmake
           Sun's dmake.

       gmake

       nmake
