I was wondering if it was possible to have a CMake project that builds a
Microsoft Visual Studio Project produce an
NSIS installer for each kind of build (e.g. debug, release, RelWithDebug).
Right now I can build the project via Visual
Studio for all the build types which is great. Now I would like to have one
NSIS installer for each type. Is that possible?
Copy the package then switch the build type in visual studio and then
run package. The file overwrites the previous nsis package with the
same name but I am pretty sure it builds for the current
configuration.
I see I can do cpack -G NSIS -C Debug ../ from my build directory to get it
to produce a NSIS file for the debug version. It would be nice to be able to
set a name for each release build in the top CMakeLists.txt file. So you could
have something like:
New Feature
Append project name allow option to override default name.
-
CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME - works the same as it does now to provide a name for the
package.
For each build append the name of the release to the name. For example
CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME = MyLib
If I do cpack -C Debug then I get a package with the name
MyLib-0.0.1-win32-Debug.exe
Now if I provide a CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME_APPENDIX_config then use the provided
string as an appendix to the package name. If this is not present then use the
default name.
Therefore if I provide:
CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME_APPENDIX_DEBUG = dbg
I would get
MyLib-0.0.1-win32-dbg.exe
if I did the same cpack command above.
Its an idea. This way you could write a script to build all the package types
you want from the command line.
