Hey all, I have a (potentially?) odd situation: I need to generate multiple packages using CPack from the same CMake project.
I'm aware of the component-based installers and methodology, but I don't believe that's what I want here: I want entirely different package names/versions/etc., containing different artifacts created from a single CMake project. I have currently implemented this by setting the various CPack configuration variables, and then include()ing CPack in different directories. I then have custom targets that call cpack with --config, pointed to a non-default-named CPack configuration file. This seems to work just fine, except during the cmake configuration run, we get warnings about CPack.cmake having already been included. I see where this message() gets emitted (https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/blob/master/Modules/CPack.cmake#L298-302); perusing that file, it seems to do things I basically want/need (setting various defaults, etc.) if I want to use cpack with a different config file. I can suppress the warning by unsetting CPack_CMake_INCLUDED, which is what I'm planning to do... but I wanted to ask: a) whether there are any technical problems or concerns by subverting that warning message and including CPack.cmake multiple times, and b) if there's another solution entirely that is better suited. (Again, I'm aware of component based installs; I don't think they'll do what I want here.) thanks, preed -- J.
