The\nintent is that you will maintain your [alienfile](https://metacpan.org/pod/alienfile) as you normally would,\nand this plugin will ensure the right prereqs are specified in the `META.json`\nand other things that are easy to get not quite right.\n\nSpecifically, this plugin:\n\n- adds prereqs\n\n    Adds the `configure` requirements to your dist `configure` requires.  It\n    adds the `any` requirements from your [alienfile](https://metacpan.org/pod/alienfile) to your dist `build`\n    requires.\n\n- adjusts Makefile.PL\n\n    Adjusts your `Makefile.PL` to use [Alien::Build::MM](https://metacpan.org/pod/Alien::Build::MM).  If you are using\n    [ExtUtils::MakeMaker](https://metacpan.org/pod/ExtUtils::MakeMaker).\n\n- sets the mb\\_class for Build.PL\n\n    sets mb\\_class to [Alien::Build::MB](https://metacpan.org/pod/Alien::Build::MB) on the [Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ModuleBuild](https://metacpan.org/pod/Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ModuleBuild)\n    plugin.  If you are using [Module::Build](https://metacpan.org/pod/Module::Build).\n\n- turn on dynamic prereqs\n\n    Which are used by most [Alien::Build](https://metacpan.org/pod/Alien::Build) based [Alien](https://metacpan.org/pod/Alien) distributions.\n\n- sets x\\_alienfile meta\n\n    Unless you turn this feature off using `alienfile_meta` below.\n\n# PROPERTIES\n\n## alienfile\\_meta\n\nAs of version 0.23, this plugin adds a special `x_alienfile` metadata to your\n`META.json` or `META.yml`.  This contains the `share` and `system` prereqs\nbased on your alienfile.  This may be useful for one day searching for Aliens\nwhich use another specific Alien during their build.  Note that by their nature,\n`share` and `system` prereqs are dynamic, so on some platforms they may\nactually be different.\n\nThis is on by default.  You can turn this off by setting this property to `0`.\n\n## clean\\_install\n\nSets the clean\\_install property on [Alien::Build::MM](https://metacpan.org/pod/Alien::Build::MM).\n\n## eumm\\_hash\\_var\n\nSets the variable name that is used in the Makefile.PL for its arguments.\nDefaults to `%WriteMakefileArgs`, and is required to begin with `%` or `$`.\nThis is useful when defining your own Makefile template with [Dist::Zilla::Plugin::MakeMaker::Custom](https://metacpan.org/pod/Dist::Zilla::Plugin::MakeMaker::Custom).\n\n# NOTES\n\nWhen defining your own Makefile.PL template (to use with\nDist::Zilla::Plugin::MakeMaker::Custom, for example,) you can specify\nwhere you want this module to insert its code by having this line\nin the template:\n\n```\n# ALIEN BUILD MM\n```\n\nAn example template to use would be this:\n\n```perl\nuse ExtUtils::MakeMaker ##{ $eumm_version ##};\n\nmy %args = (\n  NAME =\u003e \"My::Alien::Module\",\n##{ $plugin-\u003eget_default(qw(ABSTRACT AUTHOR LICENSE VERSION)) ##}\n##{ $plugin-\u003eget_prereqs(1) ##}\n);\n\n# ALIEN BUILD MM\n\nWriteMakefile(%args);\n```\n\nand a dist.ini using this template would include this:\n\n```\n[MakeMaker::Custom]\n# We need to manipulate %args on-the-fly if we set the version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker any lower.\neumm_version: 6.64\n\n[AlienBuild]\neumm_hash_var: %args\n```\n\n# SEE ALSO\n\n[Alien::Build](https://metacpan.org/pod/Alien::Build), [alienfile](https://metacpan.org/pod/alienfile), [Alien::Base](https://metacpan.org/pod/Alien::Base), [Alien::Build::MM](https://metacpan.org/pod/Alien::Build::MM), [Alien::Build::MB](https://metacpan.org/pod/Alien::Build::MB),\n[Dist::Zilla::Plugin::AlienBase::Doc](https://metacpan.org/pod/Dist::Zilla::Plugin::AlienBase::Doc)\n\n# AUTHOR\n\nAuthor: Graham Ollis \u003cplicease@cpan.org\u003e\n\nContributors:\n\nCurtis Jewell (CSJEWELL)\n\n# COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE\n\nThis software is copyright (c) 2017-2025 by Graham Ollis.\n\nThis is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under\nthe same terms as the Perl 5 programming language system itself.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fperlalien%2Fdist-zilla-plugin-alienbuild","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fperlalien%2Fdist-zilla-plugin-alienbuild","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fperlalien%2Fdist-zilla-plugin-alienbuild/lists"}
