For Deb package did you try the CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_SHLIBDEPS ? set(CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_SHLIBDEPS ON) will make CPackDeb use dpkg-shlibdeps in order to find lib dependencies. > Instead, can we have something similar to how build-type-dependent > libraries work out?

You can already do "Generator" specific dependencies using a CPack project config file see: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:CPackPackageGenerators#Overall_usage_.28common_to_all_generators.29 This file is evaluated at cpack time, if you do match the distro name then you can already select the specific dependency yourself. An example on how to match distro name with "lsb_release" command or "/etc/issue" file is given in the attached script. -- Erk Membre de l'April - « promouvoir et défendre le logiciel libre » - http://www.april.org
