Hi I think i have solved something now, it was just too easy for my sceptical mind.
Anyway, I found out that NSIS installer on windows xp (which is the only platform this currently needs to work on) already generates a registry entry, and i only need to read it in the Find*.cmake file, which appears to be simple. Now my only problem that remains is, how do I configure the NSIS installer to install the Find*.cmake file to the correct location? And by correct, i mean a folder where CMake might find it, or to say it differently ${CMAKE_ROOT}/Modules. Would it work with NSIS if I wrote it like this? install(FILES FindXXX.cmake DESTINATION ${CMAKE_ROOT}/Modules) Oh and btw, my cmake version is 2.6.4. (My sceptical mind doesn't find 2.8.* trustworthy, yet.) -mika mika.raj...@patri a.fi Sent by: To cmake-boun...@cma cmake@cmake.org ke.org cc Subject 25.01.2010 09:16 [CMake] A neat package out of a library Hi I'm trying to generate a NSIS installer for a development library. The installer would need to do the following, install the headers and libraries to a directory, copy the Find**.cmake to the correct location where it can be found with cmake, set a registry key value to indicate where it was installed so that the Find**.cmake could find the library. Is there some tutorial or document about how to generate something as such somewhere? The first step is currently working, the files are installed, apart from Find**.cmake. My current problem is that I don't know how to write registry entries from the installer. Or how to find where the Find*.cmake should be installed. I wonder if there is something fundamentally wrong with my aproach. -mika _______________________________________________ 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 _______________________________________________ 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
