The following issue has been SUBMITTED. ====================================================================== http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=14504 ====================================================================== Reported By: Aaron Nowack Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: CMake Issue ID: 14504 Category: CMake Reproducibility: have not tried Severity: feature Priority: low Status: new ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 2013-10-22 14:46 EDT Last Modified: 2013-10-22 14:46 EDT ====================================================================== Summary: libarchive supports 7-Zip, Add 7-Zip support to cmake Description: As I understand cmake uses libarchive for inflating tar.gz files. This is useful within ExternalProject_Add as you can pass in a URL of a tar.gz and cmake handles it. Since libarchive _also_ supports inflating 7z formats can cmake also support it?
For example, I wanted to use ExternalProject_Add with a custom build & install step to setup the libusbx binaries [1] on windows but they are in 7z format. [1] http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusbx/files/releases/1.0.17/binaries/ Steps to Reproduce: ExternalProject_Add( URL <path to 7z archive> ... ) Is not supported Additional Information: libarchive supports 7-zip , https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2013-10-22 14:46 Aaron Nowack 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
