# SYNOPSIS
```perl
use Alien::Xmake;
my $xmake = Alien::Xmake->new;

# DESCRIPTION
Xmake is a lightweight, cross-platform build utility based on Lua. It uses a Lua script to maintain project builds, but
is driven by a dependency-free core program written in C. Compared with Makefiles or CMake, the configuration syntax is
(in the opinion of the author) much more concise and intuitive. As such, it's friendly to novices while still
maintaining the flexibly required in a build system. With Xmake, you can focus on your project instead of the build.
Xmake can be used to directly build source code (like with Make or Ninja), or it can generate project source files like

=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module acts as an intelligent bridge between Perl and the C<xrepo> package manager.
While L<Affix> or L<FFI::Platypus> or L<Inline::C> can handle the binding or linking to native functions, Alien::Xrepo
handles the B<acquisition> of the libraries containing those functions. It automates the entire dependency lifecycle:
=over
=item 1. Provisioning:
Downloads and installs libraries (C<libpng>, C<openssl>, etc.) via C<xrepo>, handling version constraints and custom
repository lookups.
=item 2. Configuration:
Ensures libraries are compiled with FFI compatible flags (forcing C<shared> libraries instead of static archives) and
supports cross-compilation parameters (platform, architecture, toolchains).
=item 3. Introspection:
Parses the build metadata to locate the exact absolute paths to the runtime binaries (C<.dll>, C<.so>, C<.dylib>) and
lib/Alien/Xrepo.pod view on Meta::CPAN
Returns an L<Alien::Xrepo::PackageInfo> object.
=head2 C<uninstall( ... )>
$repo->uninstall('zlib');
Removes the specified package from the local cache. Accepts the same C<%options> as C<install( ... )>.
=head2 C<search>
$repo->search( 'png' );
Runs `xrepo search` and prints the results to STDOUT.
=head2 C<clean( )>
$repo->clean( );
Cleans the cached packages and downloads.
=head2 C<add_repo( ... )>
lib/Alien/Xrepo.pod view on Meta::CPAN
=item B<version>
The installed version.
=back
=head3 Methods
=head4 C<find_header( ... )>
my $path = $info->find_header( 'png.h' );
Scans C<includedirs> for the given filename and returns the absolute path if found. Returns C<undef> otherwise.
