Hi,
CPack has support for so called "movable" package (movable = prefix
independant,
unmovable = prefix prepended to install path), but it's hardcoded to
movable one.
from Source/CPack/cmCPackGenericGenerator.cxx
bool movable = true;
if ( movable )
{
// Make sure there is no destdir
cmSystemTools::PutEnv("DESTDIR=");
}
else
{
std::string destDir = "DESTDIR=";
destDir += tempInstallDirectory;
cmSystemTools::PutEnv(destDir.c_str());
}
It should not be that difficult to add a CPackConfig.cmake entry
describing this
behavior. For the time being you can try to force movable to false and see
if it works
(from what I read, it should, but I dont have time to test it).
I will not have time to look deeper into this before (at least) a week, so
I hope
it'll be sufficient...

For cmake-2.4.6 (and also previous versions), "make package" generates a
compressed file of nul characters, e.g.,
gunzip -c plplot-5.7.1-Linux.tar.gz |od -a
0000000 nul nul nul nul nul nul nul nul nul nul nul nul nul nul nul nul
*
0002000
This bad result apparently occurs because the PLplot project must
(necessarily) use absolute install locations. The workaround for us is
to
use "make DESTDIR=/tmp/staging install" followed by the appropriate zip
or
tar command. When this issue was previously discussed on list, Bill
Hoffman
suggested that cmake could switch to the DESTDIR method internally so
that
"make package" would always work regardless of whether the install
locations
were absolute or relative.
Bill, what is the status of this fix? Do you have an implementation I
can
test to help insure the fix will get into the next release of CMake?
