Hello, I am looking for something which works like 'make dist' and/or 'make distcheck' from automake. For those who are unfamilar with automake:
These commands are used to create a tarball of the project sources. 'automake' adds (nearly) every sourcefile which was used to build a binary to the tarball and allows to specify additional files which were created during the build. It does *not* package everything under the sources. 'make distcheck' checks whether tarball is complete by running the './configure && make' sequence plus some additional tests. I could not find something similar for cmake; simply taring the whole source directory is a bad idea because: * it might add temporary files (.nfs*, backup files, leftovers from SCM merge operations) * it might package binary files * it might add files of the SCM system (e.g. CVS, .git, ...) * it might add files which shall not be published Adding files which were created during the build (e.g. *.spec files) to an existing tar file is not trivial because files are usually in a subdirectory (<project-name>-<project-version>/). How is tarfile creation solved by CMake? I read about CPack but this is nearly undocumented and seems to be focused on packaging binaries. Or: How do I specifiy which (source)files and/or generated files are packaged by CPack? How do I exclude files from being packaged by CPack? How do I tell CPack to create .tar.bz2 archives? How do I append a post-CPack target (e.g. 'make gpgsig' would be 'gpgsig: dist\n gpg --sign ...' with normal make) Enrico _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list [email protected] http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
