When using CPack to create tar.gz installer packages the files in these archives don't have the execute file permission set for the executables and libraries.
Additional Information: My guess is that this happens because CPack relies on the hosts filesystem to have the file permissions as the cmake install target dictates. But this doesn't work when compiling under windows because NTFS doesn't support file permissions in this way. It would be nice if cpack could get correct file permissions in a different way like reading a metadata file that cmake outputs but this might be too much work for this small problem. May be it would be sufficient to add an option to the cpack that allows the user to override permissions. ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2012-01-09 11:47 muhkuh New Issue ====================================================================== -- Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cmake-developers
