6 cpack - Packaging driver provided by CMake.
7
10 cpack -G <generator> [options]
11
14 The "cpack" executable is the CMake packaging program. CMake-generated
15 build trees created for projects that use the INSTALL_* commands have
16 packaging support. This program will generate the package.
17 CMake is a cross-platform build system generator. Projects specify
20 their build process with platform-independent CMake listfiles included
21 in each directory of a source tree with the name CMakeLists.txt. Users
22 build a project by using CMake to generate a build system for a native
23 tool on their platform.
24
27 -G <generator>
28 Use the specified generator to generate package.
29 CPack may support multiple native packaging systems on certain
31 platforms. A generator is responsible for generating input files
32 for particular system and invoking that systems. Possible gener‐
33 ator names are specified in the Generators section.
34 -C <Configuration>
37 Specify the project configuration
38 This option specifies the configuration that the project was
40 build with, for example 'Debug', 'Release'.
41 -D <var>=<value>
44 Set a CPack variable.
45 Set a variable that can be used by the generator.
47 --config <config file>
50 Specify the config file.
51 Specify the config file to use to create the package. By default
53 CPackConfig.cmake in the current directory will be used.

57 DEB Debian packages
58 NSIS Null Soft Installer
61 RPM RPM packages
64 STGZ Self extracting Tar GZip compression
67 TBZ2 Tar BZip2 compression
70 TGZ Tar GZip compression
73 TZ Tar Compress compression
76 ZIP ZIP file format

82 CMake Properties - Properties supported by CMake, the Cross-Platform Makefile Generator.
83 This is the documentation for the properties supported by CMake. Prop‐
86 erties can have different scopes. They can either be assigned to a
87 source file, a directory, a target or globally to CMake. By modifying
88 the values of properties the behaviour of the build system can be cus‐
89 tomized.

93 CMake Compatibility Listfile Commands - Obsolete commands supported by CMake for compatibility.
94 This is the documentation for now obsolete listfile commands from pre‐
97 vious CMake versions, which are still supported for compatibility rea‐
98 sons. You should instead use the newer, faster and shinier new com‐
99 mands. ;-)
