NAME

Alien::Role::Alt - (Deprecated) Alien::Base role that supports alternates

VERSION

version 0.05

SYNOPSIS

From your alienfile

 use alienfile;
 
 plugin 'PkgConfig' => (
   pkg_name => [ 'libfoo', 'libbar', ],
 );

Then in your base class:

 package Alien::Libfoo;
 
 use base qw( Alien::Base );
 use Role::Tiny::With qw( with );
 
 with 'Alien::Role::Alt';
 
 1;

Then you can use it:

 use Alien::Libfoo;
 
 my $cflags = Alien::Libfoo->alt('foo1')->cflags;
 my $libs   = Alien::Libfoo->alt('foo1')->libs;

DESCRIPTION

NOTE: The capabilities that used to be provided by this role have been moved into Alien::Base's core class. This is an empty role provided for compatibility only. New code should not be using this class.

Some packages come with multiple libraries, and multiple .pc files to use with them. This Role::Tiny role can be used with Alien::Base to access different configurations.

METHODS

alt

 my $new_alien = $old_alien->alt($alt_name);

Returns an Alien::Base instance with the alternate configuration.
