At 'make install' time there is nothing cpack can do of course. This could be solved be running a clever script from cmake like you have discussed earlier in this thread. The script would need to figure out the current system's policy on ld.so.conf or ld.so.conf.d or other. cpack is able to generate DEBs for Debian based systems and rpm's for distro's using that package system. I have been taking peeks at how DEBs could be generated and it's not too much work I think. I'm not an experienced packager Debian packages have the option of running scripts embedded in the deb and I'm sure there are descriptions on how one should go about adding to ld.so.conf/ld.so.conf.d I'm also sure rpm's have a way of modifying the system too but with rpm's I'm currently at zero. (It is possible to generate rpm's as our cpack support goes today, e.g. "cpack -G RPM --config CPackSource-libopenscenegraph-dev.cmake") > > Perhaps we should have a README.txt, or a section for it in the > present README.txt, just for package maintainers.
