Yes it should, if ever the proposed patch http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=10292 is merged as-is. My opinion concerning DEB and RPM is that it seems better to rely on specific tools (dpkg-xxx and rpm/rpmbuild) if we want to get "proper" package. Trying not to depends on those tools lower the possibility of the produce package (like lacking auto-dependencies) and/or produce bad behaving package. We may even think that building an rpm on a debian based host is a non-sense even if rpm tools can be installed on debian. Note that if ever ones lacks some package format support alien may be the tool of choice: http://kitenet.net/~joey/code/alien even if alien itself relies on supporting tools... but now I'm really goiing off-topic ...stopping here. -- Erk Membre de l'April - « promouvoir et défendre le logiciel libre » - http://www.april.org ___ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake

I'll try adding a check for `rpmbuild` to my CMakeLists before enabling RPM packages. This seems quite a nice solution as users should always get TGZ and DEB and RPM if possible. From what I gather producing DEBs has no associated dependencies. This way they can choose which one they want to use and distribute others if they want. Doing the checks in my CMakeLists file should also reduce the chance of a package failing to build when the user runs `make package`. ___ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake

I did wrote a small CMake scripts which may help you for this. add include(SystemSpecificInformations) to your CMakeLists.txt then SPECIFIC_SYSTEM_PREFERED_CPACK_GENERATOR should contain the appropriate name of the CPack generator to be used on the host. Note however that the current script does not check whether if appropriate tool (dpkg, rpmbuild, NSIS,...) are installed but basically associate an host type with a "prefered" CPACK_GENERATOR.

Yes and normally it fails by saying that you need to have "rpmbuild" installed right? something like: CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/CPackRPM.cmake:195 (MESSAGE): RPM package requires rpmbuild executable Now I'm not sure we may do anything better, because you may effectively want to build RPM on a debian host, even if this is not the 'native package format'. In fact on your Debian-based system if you "aptitude install rpm" you'll be able to build RPM just fine. I personnally usually build both DEB and RPM on my debian host. This way I may easily build RPM for my collegue that do not want to "compile themself". That said you are right, in your case it would be interesting to build the "prefered" package automatically. May be you can file a feature request on the bug tracker and we may submit a enhance version of my "SystemSpecificInformations.cmake" which may be integrated in CMake upstream.

[CMake] CPack: Detecting if to build DEB/RPM packages
Hi, I use CPack in my project to build binary packages as an alternative to `make install`. However, I am interested in getting my project to automatically detect which packages to build. Currently I have TGZ set and then require the user to pass the appropriate parameter to `cmake` (such as -DCPACK_BINARY_DEB:BOOL=on) to have deb/rpm packages made. I wish to know how I can have CMake/CPack determine if it is possible to build an RPM or DEB package on the system (so if all the required utilities are installed) and if so to go ahead and package them. This would simplify things for people who checkout the project as they just need to type `make package` and can be sure of the appropriate package being built. However I am unsure how to reliably go about the detection process. (Asking CMake to produce an RPM package on my Debian Squeeze system only fails when one tries to make the package -- after `cmake` has run.)
