When we have to generate two different setup packages
from the same project (modules, libraries, data-files, etc...)
we want to have opportunity to install/update/delete them independently.
But the later installed package would overwrite the 'Uninstall.exe'.
This patch fixes the issue by customizing uninstaller name:
set (CPACK_UNINSTALL_NAME "My Custom Uninstaller Name")
before directive
include (CPack).
Since commit 7d47c693 (Drop compatibility with CMake < 2.4, 2013-10-08)
we no longer need to use the configure_file IMMEDIATE option to support
compatibility modes less than 2.0.
As mentioned in commit 4693cf84 (Xcode: Detect new default locations of
Xcode 4.3 bits and pieces) PackageMaker was split out of Xcode 4.3 and
above into a separate Auxiliary tools package. Since Xcode 5.0 or so,
Apple no longer distributes PackageMaker as part of the available
development tools so it can only be obtained from old packages.
Disable the CPACK_BINARY_PACKAGEMAKER option by default as is the case
for most other tool-dependent generators.
Drop #end and #module. Convert #section to a subsection header.
Convert #variable to the cmake domain "variable" directive.
Convert #macro to the cmake domain "command" directive.
Perform minor formatting fixes in text near these changes.
This new CPack generator produces an *.msi installer file.
Requires having the WiX Toolset installed in order to work
properly.

Ancient versions of CMake required else(), endif(), and similar block
termination commands to have arguments matching the command starting the
block. This is no longer the preferred style.
Run the following shell code:
for c in else endif endforeach endfunction endmacro endwhile; do
echo 's/\b'"$c"'\(\s*\)(.\+)/'"$c"'\1()/'
done >convert.sed &&
git ls-files -z -- bootstrap '*.cmake' '*.cmake.in' '*CMakeLists.txt' |
egrep -z -v '^(Utilities/cm|Source/kwsys/)' |
egrep -z -v 'Tests/CMakeTests/While-Endwhile-' |
xargs -0 sed -i -f convert.sed &&
rm convert.sed
If CPACK_NSIS_ENABLE_UNINSTALL_BEFORE_INSTALL is set to ON the NSIS installer will look for a previous installed version and ask the user about uninstall.
This concerns all variables common to all CPack generators.
Variables mainly used and/or set in CPack.cmake are documented
therein. C++ built-in variables are documented in
cmCPackDocumentVariables.cxx.
CPack help will be searched in any CPack*.cmake file located
near to CPack.cmake file. The script files is parsed iff
the first line begin with ##section. Moreover the documentation
section name is specified on the remaining part of the line
minus the space immediately following ##section.
- Enhance extract doc parser. Seems robust now. The legacy
module documentation parser works as before ignoring
the new markup.
- Proof of concept for CPack (generic), CPack RPM and CPack Deb
generator for macro and variables.
Try cpack --help-command and cpack --help-variables
The language is very simple. It use ##<keyword> special comment
which opens a structured documentation block and ##end closes it.
This may be used to extract documentation for macro as 'command'
and 'variables' such that cpack --help-command and --help-variable
does parse builtin modules files (CPack.cmake, CPackComponent.cmake,
...) in order to extract the corresponding doc.
Fix NSIS template to more thoroughly use CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_REGISTRY_KEY.
This allows different versions of software to have a separate sections in the
registry to keep track of things (installed components, and uninstall stuff).
Change default of CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_REGISTRY_KEY to follow the value of
CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY so if an installation overwrites another installation,
the proper registry entries are more likely to be overwritten.
Fix CPack/NSIS generator to not insert code in the NSIS template to skip installation
of already installed components. This enables a repair like behavior and also enables
installing patch releases on top of an older installation.
Control the root directory of the default directory presented to
the end user of an NSIS installer by a CPack variable.
Previously, the value used in the NSIS script was $PROGRAMFILES,
which is equivalent to the "ProgramFiles" environment variable.
That default value is still the same, but now a project may
override the value by setting this new variable.
MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN is frequently used with NSIS and provides a checkbox
on the finish page of an installer which specifies whether the specified
executable should be run when the installer exits. This commit adds support
for this setting in CPack.
NSIS installers default to assuming the executables exist in a
directory named "bin" under the installation directory. As this
isn't usual for Windows programs, the addition of this variable
allows the customization of this directory and links still to be
created correctly.
This adds copyright/license notification blocks CMake's non-find
modules. Most of the modules had no notices at all. Some had notices
referring to the BSD license already. This commit normalizes existing
notices and adds missing notices.
Details:
==========
- New cpack_add_component, cpack_add_component_group, and
cpack_add_install_type "commands" defined as macros in the CPack
module.
- Documentation for all of the variables and commands in the CPack module.
- Added get_cmake_property(... COMPONENTS) to CMake to ask for the
names of all components. Used in the CPack module to automatically
build component-based installers. (Set CPACK_MONOLITHIC_INSTALL to
turn off component-based installation).
- A group can declare its PARENT_GROUP, to build an arbitrary
hierarchy of groups.
- New CPack command cpack_configure_downloads, which creates an
installer that downloads only the selected components on-the-fly.
Those components marked DOWNLOADED will be separate packages
downloaded on-the-fly (or, all packages can be marked as such with the
ALL option to cpack_configure_downloads). Individual components are
compressed with ZIP at installer-creation time and
downloaded/uncompressed by the installer as needed. This feature is
only available on Windows with NSIS at the moment.
- NSIS installers can install themselves and enable the "Change"
button in Add/Remove programs, allowing users to go back and install
or remove components. This can be disabled through
cpack_configure_downloads, because it's only really useful is most of
the application's functionality is in downloaded components.
- Bug fix: automatically install everything whose COMPONENT was not
specified (it's a hidden, required group)
- Bug fix: fixed removal of components when re-running the NSIS
installer and unchecking components
- Bug fix: NSIS installers now only install/remove the minimal
number of files when re-run to update the installation (or by clicking
"Change" in Add/Remove programs)
