2008/7/1 Mike Jackson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I am starting to dive into the CPack packaging system for my projects
and I have some basic questions that the wiki is not answering.

1. What "zip" program do I need to install or is recommended on
Windows XP to get the NSIS packager to run correctly. I am getting the
"CPack ERror: Cannot find a suitable zip program."

7-zip is working for me with CMake 2.6.0
Which version of CMake/CPack are you using.

I installed the latest stable versions of NSIS and 7Zip. Was there something extra that I needed to do on the installation on Windows? I bet I need 7zip on my "path" in windows. Can CPack use gzip from msys? I guess that would only work with MSYS makefiles. I also installed CMake 2.6.0 today to give that a try. This is all with Stable mingw, winxp sp2.



2. My project depends on some 3rd party libraries to run (expat, tiff,
hdf5, qt4). What variables do I need to set to have those copied into
the installation package? I currently have rolled my own for an
"installation". Here is what I use currently:

A thread on subject arise some days ago
I did not find the thread but it was talking about a generic
[on-going] work for including dependencies of a project
binaries in the install.

[...]

I have the list of libraries that need to be installed. Somehow I need to get those to CPack.



Can I reuse any of this in order to copy all those libraries into the
installation package?

Normally all files/target which are "installed" using INSTALL
command are included in a CPack generated package.

Do I have to do a "make install" first? I am trying all this with MSys? Is this broken perhaps under mingw/msys? I'll give VS2005 a try and see what happens.

Mike
