Glib::MakeHelper is a Perl module for Makefile.PL utilities for Glib-based extensions.

SYNOPSIS

eval "use Glib::MakeHelper; 1"
or complain_that_glib_is_too_old_and_die();

%xspod_files = Glib::MakeHelper->do_pod_files (@xs_files);

package MY;
sub postamble {
return Glib::MakeHelper->postamble_clean ()
. Glib::MakeHelper->postamble_docs (@main::xs_files)
. Glib::MakeHelper->postamble_rpms (
MYLIB => $build_reqs{MyLib},
);
}
