Re: [CMake] Change cpack install folder
set(CPACK_NSIS_INSTALL_ROOT C:) should work. Works great!

Re: [CMake] Change cpack install folder
2011/12/17 Totte Karlsson to...@dunescientific.com: Hi, How can I get my nsis installer to install my distribution to c:\myPackageName instead of C:\Program Files\myPackageName ? My installation is a library with headers and I don't it to be installed in Program Files folder. Is there a straightforward fix. NSIS installer does offer you the choice during installation right? 1) Do you want to provide an alternate default choice? or 2) Do you want an NSIS command line? for 2) it should already work: http://www.kitware.com/blog/home/post/186 for 1) Normally you should set CPACK_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX and/or CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY but do not know whether if NSIS honors those two vars. -- 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

How can I get my nsis installer to install my distribution to c:\myPackageName instead of C:\Program Files\myPackageName ? NSIS installer does offer you the choice during installation right? Yes. 1) Do you want to provide an alternate default choice? Thats it. for 1) Normally you should set CPACK_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX and/or CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY I tried setting set(CPACK_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX C:\\) but gets errors. I also tried set(CPACK_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX C:) and that removed the errors. However, the installer still first points to C:\\Program Files\\ but do not know whether if NSIS honors those two vars. Seem not. :( But I found this NSIS specific setting CPACK_NSIS_INSTALL_ROOT But setting that as C:\\ still create the error: Function missing ending ) . Not sure how to get this one right.. -totte -- 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

Too bad one did not use CPACK_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX... they look like both have the same meaning. -- Erk Membre de l'April - « promouvoir et défendre le logiciel libre » - http://www.april.org Their meaning is similar, but subtly different, I think. CPack uses the value of CPACK_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX as the prefix of its own make install tree of your project that it uses in its build tree as it's assembling the tree that gets passed as input to the native packaging tool. That prefix does not necessarily have anything to do with the default value that an end user installer program displays to the end user about where to install a program by default. I suppose they *could* be the same values, but I think it's a good thing to have separate variables for each concept. CPACK_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX is used internally by CPack generators and may (or may not) be used to set values that get communicated to the end user. CPACK_NSIS_INSTALL_ROOT is used only for the NSIS packager, and only to change the root of the default suggestion from Program Files to something else.
