cpack(1) ******** :: cpack - Packaging driver provided by CMake. :: cpack -G [options] 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. * ``-G ``: 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 ``: Specify the project configuration This option specifies the configuration that the project was build with, for example 'Debug', 'Release'. * ``-D =``: Set a CPack variable. Set a variable that can be used by the generator. * ``--config ``: 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 ``: 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 ``: 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 ``: 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 ``: override/define CPACK_PACKAGE_VENDOR If vendor is not specified on cpack command line (or inside CMakeLists.txt) thenCPack.cmake defines it with a default value * ``--help-command cmd [file]``: Print help for a single command and exit. Full documentation specific to the given command is displayed. If a file is specified, the documentation is written into and the output format is determined depending on the filename suffix. Supported are man page, HTML, DocBook and plain text. * ``--help-command-list [file]``: List available commands and exit. The list contains all commands for which help may be obtained by using the --help-command argument followed by a command name. If a file is specified, the documentation is written into and the output format is determined depending on the filename suffix. Supported are man page, HTML, DocBook and plain text. * ``--help-commands [file]``: Print help for all commands and exit. Full documentation specific for all current command is displayed.If a file is specified, the documentation is written into and the output format is determined depending on the filename suffix. Supported are man page, HTML, DocBook and plain text. * ``--help-variable var [file]``: Print help for a single variable and exit. Full documentation specific to the given variable is displayed.If a file is specified, the documentation is written into and the output format is determined depending on the filename suffix. Supported are man page, HTML, DocBook and plain text. * ``--help-variable-list [file]``: List documented variables and exit. The list contains all variables for which help may be obtained by using the --help-variable argument followed by a variable name. If a file is specified, the help is written into it.If a file is specified, the documentation is written into and the output format is determined depending on the filename suffix. Supported are man page, HTML, DocBook and plain text. * ``--help-variables [file]``: Print help for all variables and exit. Full documentation for all variables is displayed.If a file is specified, the documentation is written into and the output format is determined depending on the filename suffix. Supported are man page, HTML, DocBook and plain text. * ``--copyright [file]``: Print the CMake copyright and exit. If a file is specified, the copyright is written into it. * ``--help,-help,-usage,-h,-H,/?``: Print usage information and exit. Usage describes the basic command line interface and its options. * ``--help-full [file]``: Print full help and exit. Full help displays most of the documentation provided by the UNIX man page. It is provided for use on non-UNIX platforms, but is also convenient if the man page is not installed. If a file is specified, the help is written into it. * ``--help-html [file]``: Print full help in HTML format. This option is used by CMake authors to help produce web pages. If a file is specified, the help is written into it. * ``--help-man [file]``: Print full help as a UNIX man page and exit. This option is used by the cmake build to generate the UNIX man page. If a file is specified, the help is written into it. * ``--version,-version,/V [file]``: Show program name/version banner and exit. If a file is specified, the version is written into it. :: CMake Compatibility Listfile Commands - Obsolete commands supported by CMake for compatibility. This is the documentation for now obsolete listfile commands from previous CMake versions, which are still supported for compatibility reasons. You should instead use the newer, faster and shinier new commands. ;-) Copyright 2000-2012 Kitware, Inc., Insight Software Consortium. All rights reserved.
