You may find documentation about CPackRPM on the Wiki: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:CPackPackageGenerators#RPM_.28Unix_Only.29 and from the command line (since CMake 2.8.0): cmake --help-module CPackRPM > At least for RPM and DEB, you do _not_ include foreign libraries in a package! > Boost should be available pre-compiled as RPM.

DEB and RPM are meant to handle dependencies between appropriate version of RPMs. Try to run the following command: rpm -qp --requires <your_CPack_generated.rpm> and you'll find the requirements for the generated RPMs. Most of the time RPM installing tools (yum, urpmi, zypper etc...) [the same is true for apt-xxx/aptitude/synaptic etc...] may find the missing RPMs in standard "repositories". If they don't try to find for yourself with appropriate RPM search engines: http://rpm.pbone.net/ http://www.rpmfind.net/ ... -- Erk Membre de l'April - « promouvoir et défendre le logiciel libre » - http://www.april.org _______________________________________________ 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://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
