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:
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_ 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.
