NAME
       ExtUtils::LibBuilder - A tool to build C libraries.

SYNOPSIS
	   use ExtUtils::LibBuilder;
	   my $libbuilder = ExtUtils::LibBuilder->new( %options );

METHODS
       Supports all the method from ExtUtils::CBuilder. The following three methods were adapted to be used in standalone C libraries.

   new
       This method creates a new ExtUtils::LibBuilder object. While it supports all "ExtUtils::CBuilder" methods some might work slightly
       differently (namely the two bellow).

       You can supply to the constructor any option recognized by "ExtUtils::CBuilder" constructor. None of them will be used by "LibBuilder".

   link
	  $libbuilder -> link( objects	   => [ "foo.o", "bar.o" ],
			       module_name => "foobar",
			       lib_file    => "libfoobar$libbuilder->{libext}");

       Options to the link method are the same as the "CBuilder" counterpart. Note that the result is a standalone C Library and not a bundle to
       be loaded by Perl.

       Also, note that you can use the "libext" key to retrieve from the object the common library extension on the running system (including the
       dot).

   link_executable
	 $libbuilder->link_executable( objects => ["main.o"],
				       extra_linker_flags => "-L. -lfoobar",
				       exe_file => "foobarcmd$libbuilder->{exeext}");

       The "link_executable" needs, as "extra_linker_flags" options, the name of the library and the search path. Future versions might include
       better handling on the library files.

       Also, note that you can use the "exeext" key to retrieve from the object the common executable extension on the running system (including
       the dot).
