.\" way too many mistakes in technical documents.
.if n .ad l

.SH "NAME"
ExtUtils::LibBuilder \- A tool to build C libraries.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 2
\&    use ExtUtils::LibBuilder;
\&    my $libbuilder = ExtUtils::LibBuilder\->new( %options );
.Ve
.SH "METHODS"
.IX Header "METHODS"
Supports all the method from ExtUtils::CBuilder. The following three
methods were adapted to be used in standalone C libraries.
.SS "new"
.IX Subsection "new"
This method creates a new ExtUtils::LibBuilder object. While it
supports all \f(CW\*(C`ExtUtils::CBuilder\*(C'\fR methods some might work slightly
differently (namely the two below).
.PP
You can supply to the constructor any option recognized by
\&\f(CW\*(C`ExtUtils::CBuilder\*(C'\fR constructor. None of them will be used by
\&\f(CW\*(C`LibBuilder\*(C'\fR.
.SS "link"
.IX Subsection "link"
.Vb 3
\&   $libbuilder \-> link( objects     => [ "foo.o", "bar.o" ],
\&                        module_name => "foobar",
\&                        lib_file    => "libfoobar$libbuilder\->{libext}");
.Ve
.PP
Options to the link method are the same as the \f(CW\*(C`CBuilder\*(C'\fR
counterpart. Note that the result is a standalone C Library and not a
bundle to be loaded by Perl.
.PP
Also, note that you can use the \f(CW\*(C`libext\*(C'\fR key to retrieve from the
object the common library extension on the running system (including
the dot).
.SS "link_executable"
.IX Subsection "link_executable"
.Vb 3
\&  $libbuilder\->link_executable( objects => ["main.o"],
\&                                extra_linker_flags => "\-L. \-lfoobar",
\&                                exe_file => "foobarcmd$libbuilder\->{exeext}");
.Ve
.PP
The \f(CW\*(C`link_executable\*(C'\fR needs, as \f(CW\*(C`extra_linker_flags\*(C'\fR options, the
name of the library and the search path. Future versions might include
better handling on the library files.
.PP
Also, note that you can use the \f(CW\*(C`exeext\*(C'\fR key to retrieve from the
object the common executable extension on the running system
(including the dot).
