Re: kde4/qt4 port of kio_rapip

I've just checked in modifications to CMakeLists.txt that enable cpack. Everything in that file is pretty self-explanatory, the documentation on the cmake wiki covers most stuff.

The procedure for using cpack is as follows:




then:
make package

or
make package_source

In a separate BUILD_DIR (anywhere on your system, one of the main ideas behind cmake is out-of-source builds) this should ideally NOT be a subdirectory of the source dir, as otherwise build files get mixed with source files. cmake {whatever cmake flags you want, none really necessary for just making the tarball as it will be rerun later anyway} $SOURCE_DIR will make binary packages, everything from windows installers to self-extracting tgz to Mac packages is available out-of-the-box from cpack will make a source tarball. The format is in the CMakeLists.txt file as CPACK_SOURCE_GENERATOR; right now tar.gz and tar.bz2 are on. All it really does is compress and rename the source dir. As I understand it unlike with autotools there is nothing to actually do before distribution. The disadvantage is that end-users must have also have cmake installed. The end-user then has to decompress the source, run cmake (again, an out-of-source build is possible), then make && make install.

I added support for CMake to jhbuild a while ago, and when needing to
do a "./configure && make dist" for a cmake build system, jhbuild
would issue:

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
make package_source

Doubt that the prefix thing is strictly neccesary, but i never got
round to trying it without.

Thanks John, that's a step in the right direction. I can now build a
source package, it just doesn't build :( Something to do with having the
correct cpack directives I think.
