+
+Introduction
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+This command will call meta-operations on built-in CMake commands or
+those created via the :command:`macro` or :command:`function` commands.
+
+``cmake_command`` does not introduce a new variable or policy scope.
+
+Invoking Commands
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. _INVOKE:
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+ cmake_command(INVOKE <command> [<args>...])
+
+Invokes the named ``<command>`` with the given arguments (if any).
+For example, the code:
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+ set(message_command "message")
+ cmake_command(INVOKE ${message_command} STATUS "Hello World!")
+
+is equivalent to
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+ message(STATUS "Hello World!")
+
+Evaluating Code
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. _EVAL:
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+ cmake_command(EVAL CODE <code>...)
+
+Evaluates the ``<code>...`` as CMake code.
+
+For example, the code:
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+ set(A TRUE)
+ set(B TRUE)
+ set(C TRUE)
+ set(condition "(A AND B) OR C")
+
+ cmake_command(EVAL CODE "
+ if (${condition})
+ message(STATUS TRUE)
+ else()
+ message(STATUS FALSE)
+ endif()"
+ )
+
+is equivalent to

+.. code-block:: cmake

+ set(A TRUE)
+ set(B TRUE)
+ set(C TRUE)
+ set(condition "(A AND B) OR C")

CPack IFW Generator
-------------------
+Configure and run the Qt Installer Framework to generate a Qt installer.

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.

+
+Hints for Finding QtIFW
+"""""""""""""""""""""""
+
+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
- This variable is cached and may be configured if needed.
+ 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.
+Other Settings

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
+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"
+ )

+ 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)

+
+ # 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.
