CPack IFW Generator

Overview
^^^^^^^^
This :manual:`cpack generator <cpack-generators(7)>` generates
configuration and meta information for the `Qt Installer Framework
-<http://doc.qt.io/qtinstallerframework/index.html>`_ (QtIFW).
+<http://doc.qt.io/qtinstallerframework/index.html>`_ (QtIFW),
+and runs QtIFW tools to generate a Qt installer.
QtIFW provides tools and utilities to create installers for
the platforms supported by `Qt <https://www.qt.io>`_: Linux,
Microsoft Windows, and macOS.
-To make use of this generator, QtIFW should also be installed.
-The module :module:`CPackIFW` looks for the location of the
-QtIFW command-line utilities.
-
-Hints
-^^^^^
-
-Generally, the CPack ``IFW`` generator automatically finds QtIFW tools,
-but if you don't use a default path for installation of the QtIFW tools,
-the path may be specified in either a CMake or an environment variable:
-
-.. variable:: CPACK_IFW_ROOT
-
- An CMake variable which specifies the location of the QtIFW tool suite.
-
- The variable will be cached in the ``CPackConfig.cmake`` file and used at
- CPack runtime.
-
-.. variable:: QTIFWDIR
-
- An environment variable which specifies the location of the QtIFW tool
- suite.
-
-.. note::
- The specified path should not contain "bin" at the end
- (for example: "D:\\DevTools\\QtIFW2.0.5").
-
-The :variable:`CPACK_IFW_ROOT` variable has a higher priority and overrides
-the value of the :variable:`QTIFWDIR` variable.
-
-Internationalization
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Some variables and command arguments support internationalization via
-CMake script. This is an optional feature.
-
-Installers created by QtIFW tools have built-in support for
-internationalization and many phrases are localized to many languages,
-but this does not apply to the description of the your components and groups
-that will be distributed.
-
-Localization of the description of your components and groups is useful for
-users of your installers.
-
-A localized variable or argument can contain a single default value, and a
-set of pairs the name of the locale and the localized value.
-
-For example:
-
-.. code-block:: cmake
-
- set(LOCALIZABLE_VARIABLE "Default value"
- en "English value"
- en_US "American value"
- en_GB "Great Britain value"
- )
+To make use of this generator, QtIFW needs to be installed.
+The :module:`CPackIFW` module looks for the location of the
+QtIFW command-line utilities, and defines several commands to
+control the behavior of this generator.

+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Online installer
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+""""""""""""""""
-By default CPack IFW generator makes offline installer. This means that all
-components will be packaged into a binary file.
+By default, this generator generates an *offline installer*. This means that
+that all packaged files are fully contained in the installer executable.
-To make a component downloaded, you must set the ``DOWNLOADED`` option in
-:command:`cpack_add_component`.
+In contrast, an *online installer* will download some or all components from
+a remote server.
-Then you would use the command :command:`cpack_configure_downloads`.
-If you set ``ALL`` option all components will be downloaded.
+The ``DOWNLOADED`` option in the :command:`cpack_add_component` command
+specifies that a component is to be downloaded. Alternatively, the ``ALL``
+option in the :command:`cpack_configure_downloads` command specifies that
+`all` components are to be be downloaded.
-You also can use command :command:`cpack_ifw_add_repository` and
-variable :variable:`CPACK_IFW_DOWNLOAD_ALL` for more specific configuration.
+The :command:`cpack_ifw_add_repository` command and the
+:variable:`CPACK_IFW_DOWNLOAD_ALL` variable allow for more specific
+configuration.
-CPack IFW generator creates "repository" dir in current binary dir. You
-would copy content of this dir to specified ``site`` (``url``).
+When there are online components, CPack will write them to archive files.
+The help page of the :module:`CPackComponent` module, especially the section
+on the :command:`cpack_configure_downloads` function, explains how to make
+these files accessible from a download URL.
+
+Internationalization
+""""""""""""""""""""
+
+Some variables and command arguments support internationalization via
+CMake script. This is an optional feature.
+
+Installers created by QtIFW tools have built-in support for

+ ``$<LANG_COMPILER_ID:compiler_ids>``. This expression may be used to specify
+ link libraries, link options, link directories and link dependencies of a
+ particular language and linker combination in a target. For example:
+
+ .. code-block:: cmake
+
+ add_library(libC_Clang ...)
+ add_library(libCXX_Clang ...)
+ add_library(libC_Intel ...)
+ add_library(libCXX_Intel ...)

+ $<$<LINK_LANG_AND_ID:CXX,Intel>:libCXX_Intel>
+ $<$<LINK_LANG_AND_ID:C,Intel>:libC_Intel>)
+
+ This specifies the use of different link libraries based on both the
+ compiler id and link language. This example will have target ``libCXX_Clang``
+ as link dependency when ``Clang`` or ``AppleClang`` is the ``CXX``
+ linker, and ``libCXX_Intel`` when ``Intel`` is the ``CXX`` linker.
+ Likewise when the ``C`` linker is ``Clang`` or ``AppleClang``, target
+ ``libC_Clang`` will be added as link dependency and ``libC_Intel`` when
+ ``Intel`` is the ``C`` linker.
+

+
+``$<LINK_LANGUAGE:languages>``
+ ``1`` when the language used for link step matches any of the entries
+ in ``languages``, otherwise ``0``. This expression may be used to specify
+ link libraries, link options, link directories and link dependencies of a
+ particular language in a target. For example:
+
+ .. code-block:: cmake
+
+ add_library(api_C ...)
+ add_library(api_CXX ...)
+ add_library(api INTERFACE)
+ target_link_options(api INTERFACE $<$<LINK_LANGUAGE:C>:-opt_c>
+ $<$<LINK_LANGUAGE:CXX>:-opt_cxx>)
+ target_link_libraries(api INTERFACE $<$<LINK_LANGUAGE:C>:api_C>
+ $<$<LINK_LANGUAGE:CXX>:api_CXX>)
+
+ add_executable(myapp1 main.c)
+ target_link_options(myapp1 PRIVATE api)
+
+ add_executable(myapp2 main.cpp)
+ target_link_options(myapp2 PRIVATE api)
+
+ This specifies to use the ``api`` target for linking targets ``myapp1`` and
+ ``myapp2``. In practice, ``myapp1`` will link with target ``api_C`` and
+ option ``-opt_c`` because it will use ``C`` as link language. And ``myapp2``
+ will link with ``api_CXX`` and option ``-opt_cxx`` because ``CXX`` will be
+ the link language.
+
+ .. _`Constraints LINK_LANGUAGE Generator Expression`:
+
+ .. note::
+
+ To determine the link language of a target, it is required to collect,
+ transitively, all the targets which will be linked to it. So, for link
+ libraries properties, a double evaluation will be done. During the first
+ evaluation, ``$<LINK_LANGUAGE:..>`` expressions will always return ``0``.
+ The link language computed after this first pass will be used to do the
+ second pass. To avoid inconsistency, it is required that the second pass
+ do not change the link language. Moreover, to avoid unexpected
+ side-effects, it is required to specify complete entities as part of the
+ ``$<LINK_LANGUAGE:..>`` expression. For example:
+
+ .. code-block:: cmake
+
+ add_library(lib STATIC file.cxx)
+ add_library(libother STATIC file.c)
+
+ # bad usage
+ add_executable(myapp1 main.c)
+ target_link_libraries(myapp1 PRIVATE lib$<$<LINK_LANGUAGE:C>:other>)
+
+ # correct usage
+ add_executable(myapp2 main.c)
+ target_link_libraries(myapp2 PRIVATE $<$<LINK_LANGUAGE:C>:libother>)
+
+ In this example, for ``myapp1``, the first pass will, unexpectedly,
+ determine that the link language is ``CXX`` because the evaluation of the
+ generator expression will be an empty string so ``myapp1`` will depends on
+ target ``lib`` which is ``C++``. On the contrary, for ``myapp2``, the first
+ evaluation will give ``C`` as link language, so the second pass will
+ correctly add target ``libother`` as link dependency.
