I understand that you use the ZIP CPack Generator which is somehow a relatively "stupid" one which is a "passive" archive. If you want something more like an installer which may launch appropriate action when installing the software you should look at: DEB, RPM or may NSIS CPack generator. See: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:CPackPackageGenerators DEB is for debian-based linux distribution (Debian, Ubuntu, and the like) RPM is for rpm-based distros (RedHat, Fedora, Mandriva etc...) You may chose the CPack generator on either in your CMakeLists.txt SET(CPACK_GENERATOR "ZIP;RPM") or on the command line with CPack: cd /path/to/builddir cpack -G <GENNAME> i.e. cpack -G DEB or cpack -G RPM -- Erk -- Erk _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
