I'm trying to finally create an installer for my project, with CPack and
NSIS.
The project is really really simple, I just need to copy over a directory
somewhere.
And I did something like:
get_filename_component(userprofile $ENV{USERPROFILE} REALPATH)
install(
DIRECTORY ${EGG_BUILD_DIRECTORY}
DESTINATION ${userprofile}/${PROJECT_NAME}
)
Is "userprofile" an absolute path? (sorry I'm not working on Windows very often)
if this is the case this will not work.
DO NEVER install with absolute install path on Windows:
1) the installed pieces won't be put in the installer
2) the files/dirs/whatever MAY (if you have enough privilege) be
installed on the machine
on which you are trying to build the package!!
I think we should forcibly forbid absolute install path on
windows...but that's another story.
I see, well I just wanted to get something running quickly to see if the
packaging actually works.
Anyway my assumption was that $ENV{USERPROFILE} would be the userprofile
directory on the machine
where I will run the installer, but I understand now why this is a very
stupid assumption.
With the relative path I got an actual installer in the end, but I get
another error when I try to run it
that I will investigate further tomorrow..
Thanks a lot for now.
