=CPack Package Generators=
Currently CPack features the following package generators:
; TGZ : Tar GZip compressed packages.
; STGZ : Self extracting Tar GZip compressed packages (needs /bin/sh, tar, gunzip and tail for extracting).
; NSIS : Nullsoft Installer. Requires NSIS for creating the package.
; ZIP : ZIP compressed packages. Requires zip, WinZip or 7Zip for creating the package.
; TBZ2 : Tar BZip2 compressed packages. Requires bzip2 for creating the package.
; TZ : Tar UNIX compress compressed packages.
; PackageMaker (OSX only): Mac OSX Package Maker packages. Requires Package Maker for creating the package.
; OSXX11 (OSX only): Mac OSX X11 Bundle. Requires hdiutil for creating the package.
; CygwinBinary (Cygwin only): Tar Bzip2 compressed Cygwin package.  Requires bzip2 for creating the package.
; CygwinSource (Cygwin only): Tar Bzip2 compressed Cygwin source package.  Requires bzip2 for creating the package.
; DEB (UNIX only): Debian packages. Requires only ar for creating the package. In CMake cvs since July 2007, will be in 2.6.0. With CPack 2.4.x you can use the approach described in [[CMakeUserUseDebian]] .
RPM packages are currently not supported, but you should look at the [[CMakeUserUseRPMTools|RPM]] module.
For an enhanced version of these modules, take a look at this discussion http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2007-July/014945.html .

Introduction

CPack is a powerful, easy to use, cross-platform software packaging tool distributed with CMake since version 2.4.2. It uses the generators concept from CMake, to abstract package generation on specific platforms. It can be used with or without CMake, but it may depend on some software being installed on the system, for details see the information about the supported package formats below. Using a simple configuration file or using a CMake module, the author of a project can package a complex project into a simple installer.

Using CPack with CMake

CMake comes with CPack module, which will generate appropriate CPack input file. To use this module, some CMake variables need to be set. These variables will be copied to the CPack input file.

A simple CMake section to use CPack from CMake is this:

INCLUDE(CPack)

This will generate new target in Makefile (or Visual Studio, or Xcode) called "package". By running this target, CPack will be invoked, which will generate all the packages. Internally CPack will use CMake's install mechanism to populate the package. Example output of the "package" target of Makefile is:

Run CPack packaging tool...
CPack: Create package using STGZ
CPack: Install projects
CPack: - Run preinstall target for: CMake
CPack: - Install project: CMake
CPack: - Strip files
CPack: Compress package
CPack: Finalize package
CPack: Package /home/andy/CMake-bin/cmake-2.5.0-Linux-i686.sh generated.
CPack: Create package using TGZ
CPack: Install projects
CPack: - Run preinstall target for: CMake
CPack: - Install project: CMake
CPack: - Strip files
CPack: Compress package
CPack: Finalize package
CPack: Package /home/andy/CMake-bin/cmake-2.5.0-Linux-i686.tar.gz generated.
CPack: Create package using TZ
CPack: Install projects
CPack: - Run preinstall target for: CMake
CPack: - Install project: CMake
CPack: - Strip files
CPack: Compress package
CPack: Finalize package
CPack: Package /home/andy/CMake-bin/cmake-2.5.0-Linux-i686.tar.Z generated.

When adding line:

INCLUDE(CPack)

CMake module CPack.cmake will generate CPack configuration file called CPackConfig.cmake.

A more typical CMake list section for CPack configuration would be:

INCLUDE(InstallRequiredSystemLibraries)

SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_SUMMARY "My funky project")
SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_VENDOR "Me, myself, and I")
SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_FILE "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/ReadMe.txt")
SET(CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_LICENSE "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/Copyright.txt")
SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MAJOR "1")
SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MINOR "3")
SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_PATCH "2")
SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY "CMake ${CMake_VERSION_MAJOR}.${CMake_VERSION_MINOR}")
IF(WIN32 AND NOT UNIX)
  # There is a bug in NSI that does not handle full unix paths properly. Make
  # sure there is at least one set of four (4) backlasshes.
  SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_ICON "${CMake_SOURCE_DIR}/Utilities/Release\\\\InstallIcon.bmp")
  SET(CPACK_NSIS_INSTALLED_ICON_NAME "bin\\\\MyExecutable.exe")
  SET(CPACK_NSIS_DISPLAY_NAME "${CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY} My Famous Project")
  SET(CPACK_NSIS_HELP_LINK "http:\\\\\\\\www.my-project-home-page.org")
  SET(CPACK_NSIS_URL_INFO_ABOUT "http:\\\\\\\\www.my-personal-home-page.com")
  SET(CPACK_NSIS_CONTACT "me@my-personal-home-page.com")
  SET(CPACK_NSIS_MODIFY_PATH ON)
ELSE(WIN32 AND NOT UNIX)
  SET(CPACK_STRIP_FILES "bin/MyExecutable")
  SET(CPACK_SOURCE_STRIP_FILES "")
ENDIF(WIN32 AND NOT UNIX)
SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_EXECUTABLES "MyExecutable" "My Executable")
INCLUDE(CPack)

Using CPack without CMake

CPack can be used directly by specifying CPackConfig.cmake file. This file uses CMake syntax and has to contain several variables. Here is example CPackConfig.cmake files from CMake build directory on Linux system:

SET(CPACK_CMAKE_GENERATOR "Unix Makefiles")
SET(CPACK_GENERATOR "STGZ;TGZ;TZ")
SET(CPACK_INSTALL_CMAKE_PROJECTS "/home/andy/vtk/CMake-bin;CMake;ALL;/")
SET(CPACK_NSIS_DISPLAY_NAME "CMake 2.5")
SET(CPACK_OUTPUT_CONFIG_FILE "/home/andy/vtk/CMake-bin/CPackConfig.cmake")
SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_FILE "/home/andy/vtk/CMake/Copyright.txt")
SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_SUMMARY "CMake is a build tool")
SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_EXECUTABLES "ccmake;CMake")
SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME "cmake-2.5.0-Linux-i686")
SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY "CMake 2.5")
SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_REGISTRY_KEY "CMake 2.5.0")
SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME "CMake")
SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_VENDOR "Kitware")
SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION "2.5.0")
SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MAJOR "2")
SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MINOR "5")
SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_PATCH "0")
SET(CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_LICENSE "/home/andy/vtk/CMake/Copyright.txt")
SET(CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_README "/home/andy/vtk/CMake/Templates/CPack.GenericDescription.txt")
SET(CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_WELCOME "/home/andy/vtk/CMake/Templates/CPack.GenericWelcome.txt")
SET(CPACK_SOURCE_GENERATOR "TGZ;TZ")
SET(CPACK_SOURCE_OUTPUT_CONFIG_FILE "/home/andy/vtk/CMake-bin/CPackSourceConfig.cmake")
SET(CPACK_SOURCE_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME "cmake-2.5.0")
SET(CPACK_SOURCE_STRIP_FILES "")
SET(CPACK_STRIP_FILES "bin/ccmake;bin/cmake;bin/cpack;bin/ctest")
SET(CPACK_SYSTEM_NAME "Linux-i686")
SET(CPACK_TOPLEVEL_TAG "Linux-i686")

These variables can be overwritten on the command line using the option "-D":

cpack -D CPACK_PACKAGE_VENDOR=Me -D CPACK_SYSTEM_NAME=super-duper-linux ...
