Description

cpack(1)                    General Commands Manual                   cpack(1)



NAME
         cpack - Packaging driver provided by CMake.


USAGE
         cpack -G <generator> [options]


DESCRIPTION
       The "cpack" executable is the CMake packaging program.  CMake-generated
       build trees created for projects that use the INSTALL_*  commands  have
       packaging support.  This program will generate the package.


       CMake  is  a  cross-platform  build system generator.  Projects specify
       their build process with platform-independent CMake listfiles  included
       in  each directory of a source tree with the name CMakeLists.txt. Users
       build a project by using CMake to generate a build system for a  native
       tool on their platform.


OPTIONS
       -G <generator>
              Use the specified generator to generate package.

              CPack  may  support multiple native packaging systems on certain
              platforms. A generator is responsible for generating input files
              for particular system and invoking that systems. Possible gener-
              ator names are specified in the Generators section.


       -C <Configuration>
              Specify the project configuration

              This option specifies the configuration  that  the  project  was
              build with, for example 'Debug', 'Release'.


       -D <var>=<value>
              Set a CPack variable.

              Set a variable that can be used by the generator.


       --config <config file>
              Specify the config file.

              Specify the config file to use to create the package. By default
              CPackConfig.cmake in the current directory will be used.


GENERATORS
       DEB    Debian packages


       NSIS   Null Soft Installer


       RPM    RPM packages


       STGZ   Self extracting Tar GZip compression


       TBZ2   Tar BZip2 compression


       TGZ    Tar GZip compression


       TZ     Tar Compress compression


       ZIP    ZIP file format


PROPERTIES
         CMake Properties - Properties supported by CMake, the Cross-Platform Makefile Generator.


       This is the documentation for the properties supported by CMake.  Prop-
       erties  can  have  different  scopes.  They can either be assigned to a
       source file, a directory, a target or globally to CMake.  By  modifying
       the  values of properties the behaviour of the build system can be cus-
       tomized.


COMPATIBILITY COMMANDS
         CMake Compatibility Listfile Commands - Obsolete commands supported by CMake for compatibility.


       This is the documentation for now obsolete listfile commands from  pre-
       vious  CMake versions, which are still supported for compatibility rea-
       sons. You should instead use the newer, faster  and  shinier  new  com-
       mands. ;-)
