This PR is baby steps in making progress on #157
What this does:
Alien::Build
Alien::Build
. I beleive the benefits outweigh the negatives.cflags_static
andlibs_static
What this does not do:
In terms of reliability, these modules are already using Alien::Build (installtime) + Alien::Base (runtime):
http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Alien-curl+0.02
http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Alien-nasm+0.14
http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Alien-Libbz2+0.18
http://fast-matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Acme-Alien-DontPanic2%200.0500
http://fast-matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Acme-Ford-Prefect2%200.0500
In terms of Why? I would like to start migrating more Aliens to use
Alien::Build
and writing wholly new Aliens, and to do this I need support inAlien::Base
.
