[cmake-developers] Using CPack to package things not built using CMake
Suppose I have a build which uses a number of external projects (perhaps built using ExternalProject_Add) but which use a variety of build systems. And I want to package the result (so I arrange for the external projects to build expecting themselves to be installed under /opt/foo). What are good ways to do that, without going in and replacing all the existing build systems with CMake (which is likely the route we'll take for some, but doing all doesn't seem practical)? A possibility is just to build static rather than shared libraries; for quite a few cases that would mean nothing would need to be installed. Another one (which would be a bit more general, I think) is to replace the build with a CMake wrapper, so the building bit calls the underlying build script but the install part is all done in CMake. In these cases the numbers of files is usually quite small, so doing that shouldn't be too annoying, and would presumably produce the right scripts to use in CPack. Any better ideas (or problems I'm missing with the last idea I suggest)? -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.

I did look for a suitable one but for some reason didn't spot that one (though the comment makes it obvious that it's suitable). Moving the method into there worked cleanly. 0001-Add-OS-X-dylib-versioning-to-Ninja-generator.patch Description: Binary data -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.

I just copied the relevant code from the Makefiles generator. (And now I find gmail doesn't let me change the properties of the attachment. Bother.) 0001-Copy-logic-for-OS-X-dylib-versioning-to-Ninja-genera.patch Description: Binary data -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
