In your Makefile.PL:
.PP
.Vb 2
\& use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
\& use FFI::Build::MM;
\& 
\& my $fbmm = FFI::Build::MM\->new;
\&

Then put the C, \*(C+ or Fortran files in \f(CW\*(C`./ffi\*(C'\fR for your runtime library
and \f(CW\*(C`./t/ffi\*(C'\fR for your test time library.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This module provides a thin layer between FFI::Build and ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
Its interface is influenced by the design of Alien::Build::MM.  The idea is that
for your distribution you throw some C, \*(C+ or Fortran source files into a directory
called \f(CW\*(C`ffi\*(C'\fR and these files will be compiled and linked into a library that can
be used by your module.  There is a control file \f(CW\*(C`ffi/*.fbx\*(C'\fR which can be used to
control the compiler and linker options.  (options passed directly into FFI::Build).
The interface for this file is still under development.

This method does two things:
.IP "reads the arguments to determine sensible defaults (library name, install location, etc)." 4
.IX Item "reads the arguments to determine sensible defaults (library name, install location, etc)."
.PD 0
.IP "adjusts the arguments as necessary and returns an updated set of arguments." 4

This returns the Makefile postamble used by ExtUtils::MakeMaker.  The synopsis above for
how to invoke it properly.  It adds the following Make targets:
.IP "fbx_build / ffi" 4
.IX Item "fbx_build / ffi"
build the main runtime library in \f(CW\*(C`./ffi\*(C'\fR.
.IP "fbx_test / ffi-test" 4
.IX Item "fbx_test / ffi-test"
Build the test library in \f(CW\*(C`./t/ffi\*(C'\fR.
.IP "fbx_clean / ffi-clean" 4
.IX Item "fbx_clean / ffi-clean"
Clean any runtime or test libraries already built.
.PP
Normally you do not need to build these targets manually, they will be built automatically
at the appropriate stage.
