    alien

      If true (the default) then an existing Alien::Libarchive will be used
      if version 0.21 or better is found. Usually this is what you want.

 build_install

     my $installer = Alien::Libarchive::Installer->build_install( '/usr/local', %options );

    NOTE: using this method may (and probably does) require modules
    returned by the build_requires method.

    Build and install libarchive into the given directory. If there is an
    error an exception will be thrown. On a successful build, an instance
    of Alien::Libarchive::Installer will be returned.

    These options may be passed into build_install:

    tar

      Filename where the libarchive source tar is located. If not specified
      the latest version will be downloaded from the Internet.

    dir

      Empty directory to be used to extract the libarchive source and to
      build from.

    test

      Specifies the test type that should be used to verify the integrity
      of the build after it has been installed. Generally this should be
      set according to the needs of your module. Should be one of:

      compile

	use test_compile_run to verify. This is the default.

      ffi

	use test_ffi to verify

      both

	use both test_compile_run and test_ffi to verify

ATTRIBUTES

    Attributes of an Alien::Libarchive::Installer provide the information
    needed to use an existing libarchive (which may either be provided by
    the system, or have just been built using build_install.

 cflags

    The compiler flags required to use libarchive.

 libs

    The linker flags and libraries required to use libarchive.

 dlls

    List of DLL or .so (or other dynamic library) files that can be used by
    FFI::Raw or similar.

 version

    The version of libarchive

INSTANCE METHODS

 test_compile_run

     if($installer->test_compile_run(%options))
     {
       # You have a working Alien::Libarchive as
       # specified by %options
     }
     else
     {
       die $installer->error;
     }

    Tests the compiler to see if you can build and run a simple libarchive
    program. On success it will return the libarchive version. Other
    options include

    cbuilder

      The ExtUtils::CBuilder instance that you want to use. If not
      specified, then a new one will be created.

    dir

      Directory to use for building the executable. If not specified, a
      temporary directory will be created and removed when Perl terminates.

    quiet

      Passed into ExtUtils::CBuilder if you do not provide your own
      instance. The default is true (unlike ExtUtils::CBuilder itself).

 test_ffi

     if($installer->test_ffi(%options))
     {
       # You have a working Alien::Libarchive as
       # specified by %options
     }
     else
     {
       die $installer->error;
     }

    Test libarchive to see if it can be used with FFI::Raw (or similar). On
    success it will return the libarchive version.
