NAME

       cpack - CPack Command-Line Reference

SYNOPSIS

          cpack -G <generator> [<options>]

DESCRIPTION

       The  "cpack"  executable  is  the  CMake  packaging  program.  CMake-generated build trees
       created for projects that use the INSTALL_* commands have packaging support.  This program
       will generate the package.

       CMake  is  a  cross-platform build system generator.  Projects specify their build process
       with platform-independent CMake listfiles included in each directory of a source tree with
       the  name CMakeLists.txt.  Users build a project by using CMake to generate a build system
       for a native tool on their platform.

OPTIONS

       -G <generator>
              Use the specified generator to generate package.

              CPack may support multiple  native  packaging  systems  on  certain  platforms.   A
              generator  is  responsible  for  generating  input  files for particular system and
              invoking that systems.  Possible generator names are specified  in  the  Generators
              section.

       -C <Configuration>
              Specify the project configuration

              This  option  specifies  the  configuration  that  the  project was build with, for
              example 'Debug', 'Release'.

       -D <var>=<value>
              Set a CPack variable.

              Set a variable that can be used by the generator.

       --config <config file>
              Specify the config file.

              Specify the config file to use to create the package.  By default CPackConfig.cmake
              in the current directory will be used.

       --verbose,-V
              enable verbose output

              Run cpack with verbose output.

       --debug
              enable debug output (for CPack developers)

              Run cpack with debug output (for CPack developers).

       -P <package name>
              override/define CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME

              If the package name is not specified on cpack commmand line thenCPack.cmake defines
              it as CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME

       -R <package version>
              override/define CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION

              If version is not specified on cpack command line thenCPack.cmake defines  it  from
              CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_[MAJOR|MINOR|PATCH]look into CPack.cmake for detail

       -B <package directory>
              override/define CPACK_PACKAGE_DIRECTORY

              The  directory  where  CPack will be doing its packaging work.The resulting package
              will  be  found  there.   Inside  this  directoryCPack  creates   '_CPack_Packages'
              sub-directory which is theCPack temporary directory.

       --vendor <vendor name>
              override/define CPACK_PACKAGE_VENDOR

              If  vendor  is  not  specified  on  cpack  command  line (or inside CMakeLists.txt)
              thenCPack.cmake defines it with a default value
