Alien::FFI

Build and make available libffi

SYNOPSIS

In your Makefile.PL:

use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
use Alien::Base::Wrapper ();

WriteMakefile(
  Alien::Base::Wrapper->new('Alien::FFI')->mm_args2(
    # MakeMaker args
    NAME => 'My::XS',
    ...
  ),
);

In your Build.PL:

use Module::Build;
use Alien::Base::Wrapper qw( Alien::FFI !export );

my $builder = Module::Build->new(
  ...
  configure_requires => {
    'Alien::FFI' => '0',
    ...
  },
  Alien::Base::Wrapper->mb_args,
  ...
);

$build->create_build_script;

DESCRIPTION

This distribution installs libffi so that it can be used by other Perl distributions. If already installed for your operating system, and it can be found, this distribution will use the libffi that comes with your operating system, otherwise it will download it from the Internet, build and install it for you.
