We want to provide both binary and source distributions on a variety -of platforms. This is a little different from the install we did previously in -the Installing and Testing section (Step 4), where we were installing the -binaries that we had built from the source code. In this example we will be -building installation packages that support binary installations and package -management features. To accomplish this we will use CPack to create platform -specific installers. Specifically we need to add a few lines to the bottom of -our top-level CMakeLists.txt file. - - include(InstallRequiredSystemLibraries) - set(CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_LICENSE "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/License.txt") - set(CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MAJOR "${Tutorial_VERSION_MAJOR}") - set(CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MINOR "${Tutorial_VERSION_MINOR}") - include(CPack) - -That is all there is to it. We start by including InstallRequiredSystemLibraries. -This module will include any runtime libraries that are needed by the project -for the current platform. Next we set some CPack variables to where we have -stored the license and version information for this project. The version -information makes use of the variables we set earlier in this tutorial. Finally -we include the CPack module which will use these variables and some other -properties of the system you are on to setup an installer. - -The next step is to build the project in the usual manner and then run CPack -on it. To build a binary distribution you would run: - - cpack - -To create a source distribution you would type: - - cpack -C CPackSourceConfig.cmake - -Alternatively, run “make package” or right click the Package target and -“Build Project” from an IDE. - -Run the installer executable found in the binary directory. Then run the -installed executable and verify that it works. |
