Alien::Libxml2 - Install the C libxml2 library on your system

version 0.17

In your Makefile.PL:

use ExtUtils::MakeMaker; use Alien::Base::Wrapper (); WriteMakefile( Alien::Base::Wrapper->new(Alien::Libxml2)->mm_args2( # MakeMaker args NAME => My::XS, … ), );

In your Build.PL:

use Module::Build; use Alien::Base::Wrapper qw( Alien::Libxml2 !export ); my $builder = Module::Build->new( … configure_requires => { Alien::Libxml2 => 0, … }, Alien::Base::Wrapper->mb_args, … ); $build->create_build_script;

In your FFI::Platypus script or module:

use FFI::Platypus; use Alien::Libxml2; my $ffi = FFI::Platypus->new( lib => [ Alien::Libxml2->dynamic_libs ], );

This module provides libxml2 for other modules to use.

There was an older existing Alien::LibXML, but it uses the older Alien::Build::ModuleBuild and the author prefers this version which is based on the more robust alienfile system.

libxml2 has some optional prereqs, including zlib and iconv. For a share install you will want to make sure that these are installed prior to installing Alien::Libxml2 if you want to make use of features relying on them.

For a system install, you want to make sure the development packages for libxml2, zlib and iconv are installed if libxml2 has been configured to use them, otherwise XML::LibXML will not install as expected. If the tests for this module fail with a missing iconv.h or zlib.h, then this is likely the reason.

Alien::LibXML

Older Alien for the same library.

XML::LibXML

Perl interface to libxml2, which uses this Alien
