Alien::Build::Plugin::Build::Copy(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation
NAME
Alien::Build::Plugin::Build::Copy - Copy plugin for Alien::Build
VERSION
version 2.80
SYNOPSIS
use alienfile;
plugin 'Build::Copy';
DESCRIPTION
This plugin copies all of the files from the source to the staging
prefix. This is mainly useful for software packages that are provided
as binary blobs. It works on both Unix and Windows using the
appropriate commands for those platforms without having worry about the
platform details in your alienfile.
If you want to filter add or remove files from what gets installed you
can use a "before" hook.
build {
...
before 'build' => sub {
# remove or modify files
};
plugin 'Build::Copy';
...
};
Some packages might have binary blobs on some platforms and require
build from source on others. In that situation you can use "if"
statements with the appropriate logic in your alienfile.
configure {
# normally the Build::Copy plugin will insert itself
# as a config requires, but since it is only used
# on some platforms, you will want to explicitly
# require it in your alienfile in case you build your
# alien dist on a platform that doesn't use it.
requires 'Alien::Build::Plugin::Build::Copy';
};
build {
...
if($^O eq 'linux')
{
start_url 'http://example.com/binary-blob-linux.tar.gz';
plugin 'Download';
plugin 'Extract' => 'tar.gz';
plugin 'Build::Copy';
}
else
{
start_url 'http://example.com/source.tar.gz';
plugin 'Download';
plugin 'Extract' => 'tar.gz';
plugin 'Build::Autoconf';
}
};
