@ -15,13 +15,17 @@ and ``CPackSourceConfig.cmake``. They are intended for use in a subsequent
run of the :manual:`cpack <cpack(1)>` program where they steer the generation
of installers or/and source packages.
Inclusion of the CPack module adds two new build targets, ``package``
and ``package_source``, which build the binary and source installers
respectively. The generated binary installers contain everything
installed via CMake's :command:`install` command (and the deprecated
commands :command:`install_files`, :command:`install_programs`, and
:command:`install_targets`).
The CPack module also adds two new build targets, ``package`` and
``package_source``. This makes it possible to build a binary installer
from CMake, Make, or Ninja: Instead of ``cpack``, call ``cmake --build .
--target package`` or ``make package`` or ``ninja package``. Similary, to build
a source package, instead of ``cpack -G TGZ --config CPackConfig.cmake``,
call ``cmake --build . --target package_source``, ``make package_source``,
or ``ninja package_source``.
The generated binary installers contain everything installed via CMake's
:command:`install` command (and the deprecated commands :command:`install_files`,
:command:`install_programs`, and :command:`install_targets`).
For certain kinds of binary installers (including the graphical
installers on macOS and Windows), CPack generates installers that
allow users to select individual application components to install.
