Synopsis
========
.. parsed-literal::
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 generator
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.
``--verbose,-V``
enable verbose output
Run cpack with verbose output.
``--debug``
enable debug output (for CPack developers)
Run cpack with debug output (for CPack developers).
``-P <package name>``
override/define CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME
If the package name is not specified on cpack commmand line
thenCPack.cmake defines it as CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME
``-R <package version>``
override/define CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION
If version is not specified on cpack command line thenCPack.cmake
defines it from CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_[MAJOR|MINOR|PATCH]look into
CPack.cmake for detail
``-B <package directory>``
override/define CPACK_PACKAGE_DIRECTORY
The directory where CPack will be doing its packaging work.The
resulting package will be found there. Inside this directoryCPack
creates '_CPack_Packages' sub-directory which is theCPack temporary
directory.
``--vendor <vendor name>``
override/define CPACK_PACKAGE_VENDOR
If vendor is not specified on cpack command line (or inside
