fine, I was too lazy to check the syntax thoroughly Just create a tryPermission.cmake file with something similar you get in your generated cmake_install.cmake and then from a command line run: cmake -P tryPermission.cmake and check the permission of the installed file. > I might have a go at it tomorrow, though I am no CMake/CPack expert (I just > learned enough about them to do what I needed to do), so we shall see. Fair enough, I do the same for many tools. The basics you should know in this case is: CMake/CPack/CTest comes with the "CMake scripting language" CMakeLists.txt are written using this language. CMake when used for configuring your sources (while processing one or several CMakeLists.txt) generates some CMake scripts (cmake_install.cmake is an example) which will be used during the build (or install). One can write CMake scripts which are not CMakeLists.txt using the CMake script language, this may be useful if you want to write "portable scripts". You may do such thing with other scripting language (Perl, Python, Ruby...) however since CMake is already mandatory for building your software then using CMake scripts lessen the need for other dependencies. The CMake script language contains keywords named "CMake commands" which can be used. The "FILE" command is one of them. You can get usage instruction of each CMake command from the documentation: http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake-2-8-docs.html or from the command line: cmake --help-command <command-name> That said some command like FILE, may have "undocumented" syntax which are used "internally" by CMake, e.g. in generated cmake_install.cmake scripts. Now you know a little more about that. Do what you can we will try to help you. -- 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
