Hi, I'm using CMake 2.8.5 and OS X 10.6.8. I'm trying to create an multi
component installer with CPack and PackageMaker (an .mpkg) that would create a
symlink as a post installation step. Simplified: the installer installs
directories A and B and then I want to add a symlink in directory B that points
to a file in directory A. I cannot just add the symlink in the installer because
the user is allowed to change the target root installation directory (i.e. root
of the system volume or the user directory) so I have to create the symlink
at/after installation time in order to make it point to the correct location.
Before even being able to test the post installation script functionality I ran
into the following problems:
- CPack (with PackageMaker) uses CPACK_PREFLIGHT_SCRIPT,
CPACK_POSTFLIGHT_SCRIPT and CPACK_POSTUPGRADE_SCRIPT which are not available
when targeting OS X 10.5 or later, only preinstall and postinstall seem to
available then. The result is that no script is added when set(
CPACK_OSX_PACKAGE_VERSION 10.5 )...
- without set( CPACK_OSX_PACKAGE_VERSION 10.5 ) (defaults to 10.3) specified
scripts are added to the root Resource folder of the installer (although
stripped of the .sh extension and renamed to simply preflight, postflight and
postupgrade) but they do not get executed. The "Scripts directory" (as seen when
the resulting mpkg is opened in PackageMaker) is also set for the individual
components but individual script entries are left blank.
ps. how do install( CODE ) and install( SCRIPT ) relate to CPack? Do they get
included in the generated installer in some way?
