the current implementation does not allow to package the whole content of a directory without listing every entry in the directory. I would expect that executing a command line like `cmake -E tar cvf ../result.zip --format=zip .` would zip the whole content of the current working directory. While CMake packages all the files it prepends every entry with './', which I don't expect compared to the `zip` tool provided with most linux distributions. The alternative command line `cmake -E tar cvf ../result.zip $PWD` only creates an empty zip file. Steps to Reproduce: #!/usr/bin/sh # cmake --version # cmake version 3.4.1 mkdir zip_root touch zip_root/file1 touch zip_root/file2 # The whole content of 'zip_root' should be zipped, so change working directory cd zip_root cmake -E tar cvf ../cmake-abs.zip --format=zip $PWD # <no output>: $? = 0 cmake -E tar cvf ../cmake-rel.zip --format=zip . # . # ./file1 # ./file2 # $? = 0 zip ../zip-abs.zip $PWD # adding: $PWD/ (stored 0%) # $? = 0 zip ../zip-rel.zip . # zip error: Nothing to do! (../zip-rel.zip) # $? = 12 zip -r ../zip-abs-rec.zip $PWD # adding: $PWD/ (stored 0%) # adding: $PWD/file1 (stored 0%) # adding: $PWD/file2 (stored 0%) # $? = 0 zip -r ../zip-rel-rec.zip . # adding: file1 (stored 0%) # adding: file2 (stored 0%) # $? = 0 unzip -t ../cmake-abs.zip # Archive: ../cmake-abs.zip # warning [../cmake-abs.zip]: zipfile is empty unzip -t ../cmake-rel.zip # Archive: ../cmake-rel.zip # testing: ./ OK # testing: ./file1 OK # testing: ./file2 OK # No errors detected in compressed data of ../cmake-rel.zip. unzip -t ../zip-abs.zip # Archive: ../zip-abs.zip # testing: $PWD/ OK # No errors detected in compressed data of ../zip-abs.zip. unzip -t ../zip-rel.zip # unzip: cannot find or open ../zip-rel.zip, ../zip-rel.zip.zip or ../zip-rel.zip.ZIP. unzip -t ../zip-abs-rec.zip # Archive: ../zip-abs-rec.zip # testing: $PWD/ OK # testing: $PWD/file1 OK # testing: $PWD/file2 OK # No errors detected in compressed data of ../zip-abs-rec.zip. unzip -t ../zip-rel-rec.zip # Archive: ../zip-rel-rec.zip # testing: file1 OK # testing: file2 OK # No errors detected in compressed data of ../zip-rel-rec.zip. ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2016-03-01 16:35 Marcel Metz New Issue ====================================================================== -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
