NAME

6       cpack - CPack Command-Line Reference
7

SYNOPSIS

9          cpack -G <generator> [<options>]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The “cpack” executable is the CMake packaging program.  CMake-generated
13       build trees created for projects that use the INSTALL_*  commands  have
14       packaging support.  This program will generate the package.
15
16       CMake  is  a  cross-platform  build system generator.  Projects specify
17       their build process with platform-independent CMake listfiles  included
18       in each directory of a source tree with the name CMakeLists.txt.  Users
19       build a project by using CMake to generate a build system for a  native
20       tool on their platform.
21

OPTIONS

23       -G <generator>
24              Use the specified generator to generate package.
25
26              CPack  may  support multiple native packaging systems on certain
27              platforms.  A generator  is  responsible  for  generating  input
28              files for particular system and invoking that systems.  Possible
29              generator names are specified in the Generators section.
30
31       -C <Configuration>
32              Specify the project configuration
33
34              This option specifies the configuration  that  the  project  was
35              build with, for example ‘Debug’, ‘Release’.
36
37       -D <var>=<value>
38              Set a CPack variable.
39
40              Set a variable that can be used by the generator.
41
42       --config <config file>
43              Specify the config file.
44
45              Specify  the  config  file  to  use  to  create the package.  By
46              default CPackConfig.cmake in the current directory will be used.
47
48       --verbose,-V
49              enable verbose output
50
51              Run cpack with verbose output.
52
53       --debug
54              enable debug output (for CPack developers)
55
56              Run cpack with debug output (for CPack developers).
57
58       --trace
59              Put underlying cmake scripts in trace mode.
60
61       --trace-expand

63
64       -P <package name>
65              override/define CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME
66
67              If the package name is  not  specified  on  cpack  command  line
68              thenCPack.cmake defines it as CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME
69
70       -R <package version>
71              override/define CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION
72
73              If  version  is  not  specified  on  cpack  command  line thenC‐
74              Pack.cmake     defines      it      from      CPACK_PACKAGE_VER‐
75              SION_[MAJOR|MINOR|PATCH]look into CPack.cmake for detail
76

81              resulting package will be found there.  Inside this  directoryC‐
82              Pack  creates  ‘_CPack_Packages’ sub-directory which is theCPack
83              temporary directory.
84
85       --vendor <vendor name>
86              override/define CPACK_PACKAGE_VENDOR
87
88              If vendor is not specified on  cpack  command  line  (or  inside
89              CMakeLists.txt) thenCPack.cmake defines it with a default value
90
