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)
This is CMake, the cross-platform, open-source make system. CMake is free software under a BSD-like license, see Copyright.txt. For documentation see the Docs/ directory once you have built CMake or visit http://www.cmake.org. Building CMake ============== Supported Platforms ------------------- MS Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, HP-UX, IRIX, BeOS, QNX Other UNIX-like operating systems may work too out of the box, if not it shouldn't be a major problem to port CMake to this platform. Contact the CMake mailing list in this case: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake If you don't have any previous version of CMake already installed -------------------------------------------------------------- * UNIX/Mac OSX/MinGW/MSYS/Cygwin: You need to have a compiler and a make installed. Run the bootstrap script you find the in the source directory of CMake. You can use the --help option to see the supported options. You may want to use the --prefix=<install_prefix> option to specify a custom installation directory for CMake. You can run the bootstrap script from within the CMake source directory or any other build directory of your choice. Once this has finished successfully, run make and make install. So basically it's the same as you may be used to from autotools-based projects: $ ./bootstrap; make; make install * Other Windows: You need to download and install a binary release of CMake in order to build CMake. You can get these releases from http://www.cmake.org/HTML/Download.html . Then proceed with the instructions below. You already have a version of CMake installed --------------------------------------------- You can build CMake as any other project with a CMake-based build system: run the installed CMake on the sources of this CMake with your preferred options and generators. Then build it and install it. For instructions how to do this, see http://www.cmake.org/HTML/RunningCMake.html
