I see I can do "cpack -G NSIS -C Debug ../" from my build directory to get it to produce a NSIS file for the debug version. It would be nice to be able to set a name for each release build in the top CMakeLists.txt file. So you could have something like: <New Feature> Append project name allow option to override default name. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME - works the same as it does now to provide a name for the package. For each build append the name of the release to the name. For example CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME = "MyLib" If I do "cpack -C Debug" then I get a package with the name MyLib-0.0.1-win32-Debug.exe Now if I provide a CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME_APPENDIX_<config> then use the provided string as an appendix to the package name. If this is not present then use the default name. Therefore if I provide: CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME_APPENDIX_DEBUG = "dbg" I would get MyLib-0.0.1-win32-dbg.exe if I did the same cpack command above. Its an idea. This way you could write a script to build all the package types you want from the command line.
