Set CPACK_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME before including CPack. >From Modules/CPack.cmake: # CPACK_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME - The name of the package file to generate, # not including the extension. For example, cmake-2.6.1-Linux-i686. # The default value is # ${CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME}-${CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION}-${CPACK_SYSTEM_NAME}. The default should already include the version number. Perhaps you could simply encode your build number into your CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION value, and it then the rest would be automatic.
