CPack seems to support both rpm and deb formats among others: http://www.kwwidgets.org/Wiki/CMakeUserUseRPMTools http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/CMake:CPackPackageGenerators Regards, Jan -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mandriva - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFJfLGRn11XseNj94gRAk3vAJ9V7OU0XU2pFIDKU76wBTnDIbCmbACg2dYa jpvzt/WhKfsnLnQU8JoDGqs= =qSj/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
