My brain is almost going to explode, so before it does maybe someone
can help..
I have a cpack with NSIS working installer, which just copies a
directory.
In that directory there is a file run.exe, which needs to take an
argument to run correctly.
Now that argument is a path which is only known at install-time, via
asking to the user.
So what I would like to do is to:
1. get that path into a variable
2. stick it into the arguments of a shortcut file on the windows machine
I found something like this on stackoverflow:
set(CPACK_NSIS_EXTRA_INSTALL_COMMANDS "
CreateShortCut \\\"$DESKTOP\\\\${PROJECT_NAME}.lnk\\\"
\\\"$INSTDIR\\\\built_egg\\\\run.exe\\\" \"c:\python25\pythonw.exe\"
")
But I have some trouble understand in general, how is this command
processed?
First the cmake variables are substituted and then it's simply run?
And any advice on how to get the variable with the path?
Thanks,
Andrea
This is the first attempt:
set(CPACK_NSIS_EXTRA_INSTALL_COMMANDS "
PageEx directory
DirVar PythonDir
PageExEnd
CreateShortCut \\\"$DESKTOP\\\\${PROJECT_NAME}.lnk\\\"
\\\"$INSTDIR\\\\built_egg\\\\run.exe\\\" \"$PythonDir\\pythonw.exe\"
\"\" \"\" \".$INSTDIR\" \"Run project ${PROJECT_NAME}\"
")
but I don't get any page asking me for the destination directory, and no
shortcut is created..
By the way, how do I see the actual paths NSI configuration that
generates the final exe?
It seems that if NSIS works the file used get all removed..
