Projects may provide further modules; their location(s) can be specified in the \fBCMAKE_MODULE_PATH\fP variable. .SH UTILITY MODULES .sp These modules are loaded using the \fBinclude()\fP command. .SS AddFileDependencies .sp Add dependencies to a source file. .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C ADD_FILE_DEPENDENCIES( ) .ft P .fi .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .sp Adds the given \fB\fP to the dependencies of file \fB\fP\&. .SS AndroidTestUtilities .sp Create a test that automatically loads specified data onto an Android device. .SS Introduction .sp Use this module to push data needed for testing an Android device behavior onto a connected Android device. The module will accept files and libraries as well as separate destinations for each. It will create a test that loads the files into a device object store and link to them from the specified destination. The files are only uploaded if they are not already in the object store. .sp For example: .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C include(AndroidTestUtilities) android_add_test_data( example_setup_test FILES ... LIBS ... DEVICE_TEST_DIR "/data/local/tests/example" DEVICE_OBJECT_STORE "/sdcard/.ExternalData/SHA" ) .ft P .fi .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .sp At build time a test named “example_setup_test” will be created. Run this test on the command line with \fBctest(1)\fP to load the data onto the Android device. .SS Module Functions .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B android_add_test_data .INDENT 7.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C android_add_test_data( [FILES ...] [FILES_DEST ] [LIBS ...] [LIBS_DEST ] [DEVICE_OBJECT_STORE ] [DEVICE_TEST_DIR ] [NO_LINK_REGEX ...] ) .ft P .fi .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .sp The \fBandroid_add_test_data\fP function is used to copy files and libraries needed to run project\-specific tests. On the host operating system, this is done at build time. For on\-device testing, the files are loaded onto the device by the manufactured test at run time. .sp This function accepts the following named parameters: .INDENT 7.0 .TP .B \fBFILES ...\fP zero or more files needed for testing .TP .B \fBLIBS ...\fP zero or more libraries needed for testing .TP .B \fBFILES_DEST \fP absolute path where the data files are expected to be .TP .B \fBLIBS_DEST \fP absolute path where the libraries are expected to be .TP .B \fBDEVICE_OBJECT_STORE \fP absolute path to the location where the data is stored on\-device .TP .B \fBDEVICE_TEST_DIR \fP absolute path to the root directory of the on\-device test location .TP .B \fBNO_LINK_REGEX ...\fP list of regex strings matching the names of files that should be copied from the object store to the testing directory .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .SS BundleUtilities .sp Functions to help assemble a standalone bundle application. .sp A collection of CMake utility functions useful for dealing with \fB\&.app\fP bundles on the Mac and bundle\-like directories on any OS. .sp The following functions are provided by this module: .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C fixup_bundle copy_and_fixup_bundle verify_app get_bundle_main_executable get_dotapp_dir get_bundle_and_executable get_bundle_all_executables get_item_key get_item_rpaths clear_bundle_keys set_bundle_key_values get_bundle_keys copy_resolved_item_into_bundle copy_resolved_framework_into_bundle fixup_bundle_item verify_bundle_prerequisites verify_bundle_symlinks .ft P .fi .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .sp Requires CMake 2.6 or greater because it uses function, break and \fBPARENT_SCOPE\fP\&. Also depends on \fBGetPrerequisites.cmake\fP\&. .sp DO NOT USE THESE FUNCTIONS AT CONFIGURE TIME (from \fBCMakeLists.txt\fP)! Instead, invoke them from an \fBinstall(CODE)\fP or \fBinstall(SCRIPT)\fP rule. .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C fixup_bundle( ) .ft P .fi .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .sp Fix up \fB\fP bundle in\-place and make it standalone, such that it can be drag\-n\-drop copied to another machine and run on that machine as long as all of the system libraries are compatible. .sp If you pass plugins to \fBfixup_bundle\fP as the libs parameter, you should install them or copy them into the bundle before calling \fBfixup_bundle\fP\&. The \fB\fP parameter is a list of libraries that must be fixed up, but that cannot be determined by \fBotool\fP output analysis (i.e. \fBplugins\fP). .sp Gather all the keys for all the executables and libraries in a bundle, and then, for each key, copy each prerequisite into the bundle. Then fix each one up according to its own list of prerequisites. .sp Then clear all the keys and call \fBverify_app\fP on the final bundle to ensure that it is truly standalone. .sp As an optional parameter (\fBIGNORE_ITEM\fP) a list of file names can be passed, which are then ignored (e.g. \fBIGNORE_ITEM "vcredist_x86.exe;vcredist_x64.exe"\fP). .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C copy_and_fixup_bundle( ) .ft P .fi .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .sp Makes a copy of the bundle \fB\fP at location \fB\fP and then fixes up the new copied bundle in\-place at \fB\fP\&. .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C verify_app() .ft P .fi .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .sp Verifies that an application \fB\fP appears valid based on running analysis tools on it. Calls \fBmessage(FATAL_ERROR)\fP if the application is not verified. .sp As an optional parameter (\fBIGNORE_ITEM\fP) a list of file names can be passed, which are then ignored (e.g. \fBIGNORE_ITEM "vcredist_x86.exe;vcredist_x64.exe"\fP) .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C get_bundle_main_executable( ) .ft P .fi .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .sp The result will be the full path name of the bundle’s main executable file or an \fBerror:\fP prefixed string if it could not be determined. .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C get_dotapp_dir( ) .ft P .fi .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .sp Returns the nearest parent dir whose name ends with \fB\&.app\fP given the full path to an executable. If there is no such parent dir, then simply return the dir containing the executable. .sp The returned directory may or may not exist. .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C get_bundle_and_executable( ) .ft P .fi .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .sp Takes either a \fB\&.app\fP directory name or the name of an executable nested inside a \fB\&.app\fP directory and returns the path to the \fB\&.app\fP directory in \fB\fP and the path to its main executable in \fB\fP\&. .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C get_bundle_all_executables( ) .ft P .fi .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .sp Scans \fB\fP bundle recursively for all \fB\fP executable files and accumulates them into a variable. .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C get_item_key( ) .ft P .fi .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .sp Given \fB\fP file name, generate \fB\fP key that should be unique considering the set of libraries that need copying or fixing up to make a bundle standalone. This is essentially the file name including extension with \fB\&.\fP replaced by \fB_\fP .sp This key is used as a prefix for CMake variables so that we can associate a set of variables with a given item based on its key. .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C clear_bundle_keys() .ft P .fi .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .sp Loop over the \fB\fP list of keys, clearing all the variables associated with each key. After the loop, clear the list of keys itself. .sp Caller of \fBget_bundle_keys\fP should call \fBclear_bundle_keys\fP when done with list of keys. .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C set_bundle_key_values( []) .ft P .fi .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .sp Add \fB\fP key to the list (if necessary) for the given item. If added, also set all the variables associated with that key. .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C get_bundle_keys( ) .ft P .fi .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .sp Loop over all the executable and library files within \fB\fP bundle (and given as extra \fB\fP) and accumulate a list of keys representing them. Set values associated with each key such that we can loop over all of them and copy prerequisite libs into the bundle and then do appropriate \fBinstall_name_tool\fP fixups. .sp As an optional parameter (\fBIGNORE_ITEM\fP) a list of file names can be passed, which are then ignored (e.g. \fBIGNORE_ITEM "vcredist_x86.exe;vcredist_x64.exe"\fP) .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C copy_resolved_item_into_bundle( ) .ft P .fi .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .sp Copy a resolved item into the bundle if necessary. Copy is not necessary, if the \fB\fP is “the same as” the \fB\fP\&. .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C copy_resolved_framework_into_bundle( ) .ft P .fi .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .sp Copy a resolved framework into the bundle if necessary. Copy is not necessary, if the \fB\fP is “the same as” the \fB\fP\&. .sp By default, \fBBU_COPY_FULL_FRAMEWORK_CONTENTS\fP is not set. If you want full frameworks embedded in your bundles, set \fBBU_COPY_FULL_FRAMEWORK_CONTENTS\fP to \fBON\fP before calling fixup_bundle. By default, \fBCOPY_RESOLVED_FRAMEWORK_INTO_BUNDLE\fP copies the framework dylib itself plus the framework \fBResources\fP directory. .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C fixup_bundle_item( ) .ft P .fi .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .sp Get the direct/non\-system prerequisites of the \fB\fP\&. For each prerequisite, change the way it is referenced to the value of the \fB_EMBEDDED_ITEM\fP keyed variable for that prerequisite. (Most likely changing to an \fB@executable_path\fP style reference.) .sp This function requires that the \fB\fP be \fBinside\fP the bundle already. In other words, if you pass plugins to \fBfixup_bundle\fP as the libs parameter, you should install them or copy them into the bundle before calling \fBfixup_bundle\fP\&. The \fBlibs\fP parameter is a list of libraries that must be fixed up, but that cannot be determined by otool output analysis. (i.e., \fBplugins\fP) .sp Also, change the id of the item being fixed up to its own \fB_EMBEDDED_ITEM\fP value. .sp Accumulate changes in a local variable and make \fIone\fP call to \fBinstall_name_tool\fP at the end of the function with all the changes at once. .sp If the \fBBU_CHMOD_BUNDLE_ITEMS\fP variable is set then bundle items will be marked writable before \fBinstall_name_tool\fP tries to change them. .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C verify_bundle_prerequisites( ) .ft P .fi .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .sp Verifies that the sum of all prerequisites of all files inside the bundle are contained within the bundle or are \fBsystem\fP libraries, presumed to exist everywhere. .sp As an optional parameter (\fBIGNORE_ITEM\fP) a list of file names can be passed, which are then ignored (e.g. \fBIGNORE_ITEM "vcredist_x86.exe;vcredist_x64.exe"\fP) .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C verify_bundle_symlinks( ) .ft P .fi .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .sp Verifies that any symlinks found in the \fB\fP bundle point to other files that are already also in the bundle… Anything that points to an external file causes this function to fail the verification. .SS CheckCCompilerFlag .sp Check whether the C compiler supports a given flag. .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B check_c_compiler_flag .INDENT 7.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C check_c_compiler_flag( ) .ft P .fi .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .sp Check that the \fB\fP is accepted by the compiler without a diagnostic. Stores the result in an internal cache entry named \fB\fP\&. .UNINDENT .sp This command temporarily sets the \fBCMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS\fP variable and calls the \fBcheck_c_source_compiles\fP macro from the \fBCheckCSourceCompiles\fP module. See documentation of that module for a listing of variables that can otherwise modify the build. .sp A positive result from this check indicates only that the compiler did not issue a diagnostic message when given the flag. Whether the flag has any effect or even a specific one is beyond the scope of this module. .sp \fBNOTE:\fP .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 Since the \fBtry_compile()\fP command forwards flags from variables like \fBCMAKE_C_FLAGS\fP, unknown flags in such variables may cause a false negative for this check. .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .SS CheckCSourceCompiles .sp Check if given C source compiles and links into an executable. .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B check_c_source_compiles .INDENT 7.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C check_c_source_compiles( [FAIL_REGEX [...]]) .ft P .fi .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .sp Check that the source supplied in \fB\fP can be compiled as a C source file and linked as an executable (so it must contain at least a \fBmain()\fP function).

This has the effect that the resulting \fBFooConfig.cmake\fP file would work poorly under Windows and OSX, where users are used to choose the install location of a binary package at install time, independent from how \fBCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX\fP was set at build/cmake time. .sp Using \fBconfigure_package_config_file\fP helps.

This path can either be absolute, or relative to the \fBINSTALL_PREFIX\fP path. .sp The variables \fB\fP to \fB\fP given as \fBPATH_VARS\fP are the variables which contain install destinations. For each of them the macro will create a helper variable \fBPACKAGE_\fP\&. These helper variables must be used in the \fBFooConfig.cmake.in\fP file for setting the installed location. They are calculated by \fBconfigure_package_config_file\fP so that they are always relative to the installed location of the package. This works both for relative and also for absolute locations. For absolute locations it works only if the absolute location is a subdirectory of \fBINSTALL_PREFIX\fP\&. .sp If the \fBINSTALL_PREFIX\fP argument is passed, this is used as base path to calculate all the relative paths. The \fB\fP argument must be an absolute path. If this argument is not passed, the \fBCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX\fP variable will be used instead. The default value is good when generating a FooConfig.cmake file to use your package from the install tree. When generating a FooConfig.cmake file to use your package from the build tree this option should be used. .sp By default \fBconfigure_package_config_file\fP also generates two helper macros, \fBset_and_check()\fP and \fBcheck_required_components()\fP into the \fBFooConfig.cmake\fP file. .sp \fBset_and_check()\fP should be used instead of the normal \fBset()\fP command for setting directories and file locations. Additionally to setting the variable it also checks that the referenced file or directory actually exists and fails with a \fBFATAL_ERROR\fP otherwise. This makes sure that the created \fBFooConfig.cmake\fP file does not contain wrong references. When using the \fBNO_SET_AND_CHECK_MACRO\fP, this macro is not generated into the \fBFooConfig.cmake\fP file. .sp \fBcheck_required_components()\fP should be called at the end of the \fBFooConfig.cmake\fP file. This macro checks whether all requested, non\-optional components have been found, and if this is not the case, sets the \fBFoo_FOUND\fP variable to \fBFALSE\fP, so that the package is considered to be not found. It does that by testing the \fBFoo__FOUND\fP variables for all requested required components. This macro should be called even if the package doesn’t provide any components to make sure users are not specifying components erroneously.

See the documentation of \fBfind_package()\fP for details on this. .sp \fB\fP is the output filename, it should be in the build tree. \fB\fP is the version number of the project to be installed. .sp If no \fBVERSION\fP is given, the \fBPROJECT_VERSION\fP variable is used. If this hasn’t been set, it errors out. .sp The \fBCOMPATIBILITY\fP mode \fBAnyNewerVersion\fP means that the installed package version will be considered compatible if it is newer or exactly the same as the requested version. This mode should be used for packages which are fully backward compatible, also across major versions. If \fBSameMajorVersion\fP is used instead, then the behaviour differs from \fBAnyNewerVersion\fP in that the major version number must be the same as requested, e.g. version 2.0 will not be considered compatible if 1.0 is requested. This mode should be used for packages which guarantee backward compatibility within the same major version. If \fBSameMinorVersion\fP is used, the behaviour is the same as \fBSameMajorVersion\fP, but both major and minor version must be the same as requested, e.g version 0.2 will not be compatible if 0.1 is requested. If \fBExactVersion\fP is used, then the package is only considered compatible if the requested version matches exactly its own version number (not considering the tweak version). For example, version 1.2.3 of a package is only considered compatible to requested version 1.2.3. This mode is for packages without compatibility guarantees. If your project has more elaborated version matching rules, you will need to write your own custom \fBConfigVersion.cmake\fP file instead of using this macro. .sp If \fBARCH_INDEPENDENT\fP is given, the installed package version will be considered compatible even if it was built for a different architecture than the requested architecture. Otherwise, an architecture check will be performed, and the package will be considered compatible only if the architecture matches exactly. For example, if the package is built for a 32\-bit architecture, the package is only considered compatible if it is used on a 32\-bit architecture, unless \fBARCH_INDEPENDENT\fP is given, in which case the package is considered compatible on any architecture. .sp \fBNOTE:\fP .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 \fBARCH_INDEPENDENT\fP is intended for header\-only libraries or similar packages with no binaries. .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .sp Internally, this macro executes \fBconfigure_file()\fP to create the resulting version file. Depending on the \fBCOMPATIBILITY\fP, the corresponding \fBBasicConfigVersion\-.cmake.in\fP file is used. Please note that these files are internal to CMake and you should not call \fBconfigure_file()\fP on them yourself, but they can be used as starting point to create more sophisticted custom \fBConfigVersion.cmake\fP files. .SS Example Generating Package Files .sp Example using both \fI\%configure_package_config_file()\fP and \fBwrite_basic_package_version_file()\fP: .sp \fBCMakeLists.txt\fP: .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C set(INCLUDE_INSTALL_DIR include/ ...

To run this script, cd to a directory and run the script with cmake \-P. On the command line you can pass in versions that are OK even if not found in the .manifest files. For example, cmake \-Dallow_versions=8.0.50608.0 \-PCmakeVerifyManifest.cmake could be used to allow an embedded manifest of 8.0.50608.0 to be used in a project even if that version was not found in the .manifest file. .SS CPackComponent .sp Configure components for binary installers and source packages. .SS Introduction .sp This module is automatically included by \fBCPack\fP\&. .sp Certain binary installers (especially the graphical installers) generated by CPack allow users to select individual application \fIcomponents\fP to install. This module allows developers to configure the packaging of such components. .sp Contents is assigned to components by the \fBCOMPONENT\fP argument of CMake’s \fBinstall()\fP command. Components can be annotated with user\-friendly names and descriptions, inter\-component dependencies, etc., and grouped in various ways to customize the resulting installer, using the commands described below. .sp To specify different groupings for different CPack generators use a CPACK_PROJECT_CONFIG_FILE. .SS Variables .sp The following variables influence the component\-specific packaging: .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B CPACK_COMPONENTS_ALL The list of component to install. .sp The default value of this variable is computed by CPack and contains all components defined by the project. The user may set it to only include the specified components. .sp Instead of specifying all the desired components, it is possible to obtain a list of all defined components and then remove the unwanted ones from the list. The \fBget_cmake_property()\fP command can be used to obtain the \fBCOMPONENTS\fP property, then the \fBlist(REMOVE_ITEM)\fP command can be used to remove the unwanted ones. For example, to use all defined components except \fBfoo\fP and \fBbar\fP: .INDENT 7.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C get_cmake_property(CPACK_COMPONENTS_ALL COMPONENTS) list(REMOVE_ITEM CPACK_COMPONENTS_ALL "foo" "bar") .ft P .fi .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B CPACK__COMPONENT_INSTALL Enable/Disable component install for CPack generator . .sp Each CPack Generator (RPM, DEB, ARCHIVE, NSIS, DMG, etc…) has a legacy default behavior. e.g. RPM builds monolithic whereas NSIS builds component. One can change the default behavior by setting this variable to 0/1 or OFF/ON. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B CPACK_COMPONENTS_GROUPING Specify how components are grouped for multi\-package component\-aware CPack generators. .sp Some generators like RPM or ARCHIVE (TGZ, ZIP, …) may generate several packages files when there are components, depending on the value of this variable: .INDENT 7.0 .IP \(bu 2 ONE_PER_GROUP (default): create one package per component group .IP \(bu 2 IGNORE : create one package per component (ignore the groups) .IP \(bu 2 ALL_COMPONENTS_IN_ONE : create a single package with all requested components .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B CPACK_COMPONENT__DISPLAY_NAME The name to be displayed for a component. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B CPACK_COMPONENT__DESCRIPTION The description of a component. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B CPACK_COMPONENT__GROUP The group of a component. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B CPACK_COMPONENT__DEPENDS The dependencies (list of components) on which this component depends. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B CPACK_COMPONENT__HIDDEN True if this component is hidden from the user. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B CPACK_COMPONENT__REQUIRED True if this component is required. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B CPACK_COMPONENT__DISABLED True if this component is not selected to be installed by default. .UNINDENT .SS Commands .SS Add component .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B cpack_add_component .UNINDENT .sp Describe an installation component. .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C cpack_add_component(compname [DISPLAY_NAME name] [DESCRIPTION description] [HIDDEN | REQUIRED | DISABLED ] [GROUP group] [DEPENDS comp1 comp2 ... ] [INSTALL_TYPES type1 type2 ... ] [DOWNLOADED] [ARCHIVE_FILE filename] [PLIST filename]) .ft P .fi .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .sp \fBcompname\fP is the name of an installation component, as defined by the \fBCOMPONENT\fP argument of one or more CMake \fBinstall()\fP commands. With the \fBcpack_add_component\fP command one can set a name, a description, and other attributes of an installation component. One can also assign a component to a component group. .sp DISPLAY_NAME is the displayed name of the component, used in graphical installers to display the component name. This value can be any string. .sp DESCRIPTION is an extended description of the component, used in graphical installers to give the user additional information about the component. Descriptions can span multiple lines using \fB\en\fP as the line separator. Typically, these descriptions should be no more than a few lines long. .sp HIDDEN indicates that this component will be hidden in the graphical installer, so that the user cannot directly change whether it is installed or not. .sp REQUIRED indicates that this component is required, and therefore will always be installed. It will be visible in the graphical installer, but it cannot be unselected. (Typically, required components are shown greyed out). .sp DISABLED indicates that this component should be disabled (unselected) by default. The user is free to select this component for installation, unless it is also HIDDEN. .sp DEPENDS lists the components on which this component depends. If this component is selected, then each of the components listed must also be selected. The dependency information is encoded within the installer itself, so that users cannot install inconsistent sets of components. .sp GROUP names the component group of which this component is a part. If not provided, the component will be a standalone component, not part of any component group. Component groups are described with the cpack_add_component_group command, detailed below. .sp INSTALL_TYPES lists the installation types of which this component is a part. When one of these installations types is selected, this component will automatically be selected. Installation types are described with the cpack_add_install_type command, detailed below. .sp DOWNLOADED indicates that this component should be downloaded on\-the\-fly by the installer, rather than packaged in with the installer itself. For more information, see the cpack_configure_downloads command. .sp ARCHIVE_FILE provides a name for the archive file created by CPack to be used for downloaded components. If not supplied, CPack will create a file with some name based on CPACK_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME and the name of the component. See cpack_configure_downloads for more information. .sp PLIST gives a filename that is passed to pkgbuild with the \fB\-\-component\-plist\fP argument when using the productbuild generator. .SS Add component group .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B cpack_add_component_group .UNINDENT .sp Describes a group of related CPack installation components. .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C cpack_add_component_group(groupname [DISPLAY_NAME name] [DESCRIPTION description] [PARENT_GROUP parent] [EXPANDED] [BOLD_TITLE]) .ft P .fi .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .sp The cpack_add_component_group describes a group of installation components, which will be placed together within the listing of options. Typically, component groups allow the user to select/deselect all of the components within a single group via a single group\-level option. Use component groups to reduce the complexity of installers with many options. groupname is an arbitrary name used to identify the group in the GROUP argument of the cpack_add_component command, which is used to place a component in a group. The name of the group must not conflict with the name of any component. .sp DISPLAY_NAME is the displayed name of the component group, used in graphical installers to display the component group name. This value can be any string. .sp DESCRIPTION is an extended description of the component group, used in graphical installers to give the user additional information about the components within that group. Descriptions can span multiple lines using \fB\en\fP as the line separator. Typically, these descriptions should be no more than a few lines long. .sp PARENT_GROUP, if supplied, names the parent group of this group. Parent groups are used to establish a hierarchy of groups, providing an arbitrary hierarchy of groups. .sp EXPANDED indicates that, by default, the group should show up as “expanded”, so that the user immediately sees all of the components within the group. Otherwise, the group will initially show up as a single entry. .sp BOLD_TITLE indicates that the group title should appear in bold, to call the user’s attention to the group. .SS Add installation type .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B cpack_add_install_type .UNINDENT .sp Add a new installation type containing a set of predefined component selections to the graphical installer. .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C cpack_add_install_type(typename [DISPLAY_NAME name]) .ft P .fi .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .sp The cpack_add_install_type command identifies a set of preselected components that represents a common use case for an application. For example, a “Developer” install type might include an application along with its header and library files, while an “End user” install type might just include the application’s executable. Each component identifies itself with one or more install types via the INSTALL_TYPES argument to cpack_add_component. .sp DISPLAY_NAME is the displayed name of the install type, which will typically show up in a drop\-down box within a graphical installer. This value can be any string. .SS Configure downloads .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B cpack_configure_downloads .UNINDENT .sp Configure CPack to download selected components on\-the\-fly as part of the installation process. .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C cpack_configure_downloads(site [UPLOAD_DIRECTORY dirname] [ALL] [ADD_REMOVE|NO_ADD_REMOVE]) .ft P .fi .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .sp The cpack_configure_downloads command configures installation\-time downloads of selected components. For each downloadable component, CPack will create an archive containing the contents of that component, which should be uploaded to the given site. When the user selects that component for installation, the installer will download and extract the component in place. This feature is useful for creating small installers that only download the requested components, saving bandwidth. Additionally, the installers are small enough that they will be installed as part of the normal installation process, and the “Change” button in Windows Add/Remove Programs control panel will allow one to add or remove parts of the application after the original installation. On Windows, the downloaded\-components functionality requires the ZipDLL plug\-in for NSIS, available at: .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C http://nsis.sourceforge.net/ZipDLL_plug\-in .ft P .fi .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .sp On macOS, installers that download components on\-the\-fly can only be built and installed on system using macOS 10.5 or later. .sp The site argument is a URL where the archives for downloadable components will reside, e.g., \fI\%https://cmake.org/files/2.6.1/installer/\fP All of the archives produced by CPack should be uploaded to that location. .sp UPLOAD_DIRECTORY is the local directory where CPack will create the various archives for each of the components. The contents of this directory should be uploaded to a location accessible by the URL given in the site argument. If omitted, CPack will use the directory CPackUploads inside the CMake binary directory to store the generated archives. .sp The ALL flag indicates that all components be downloaded. Otherwise, only those components explicitly marked as DOWNLOADED or that have a specified ARCHIVE_FILE will be downloaded. Additionally, the ALL option implies ADD_REMOVE (unless NO_ADD_REMOVE is specified). .sp ADD_REMOVE indicates that CPack should install a copy of the installer that can be called from Windows’ Add/Remove Programs dialog (via the “Modify” button) to change the set of installed components. NO_ADD_REMOVE turns off this behavior. This option is ignored on Mac OS X. .SS CPackIFW .sp This module looks for the location of the command\-line utilities supplied with the \fI\%Qt Installer Framework\fP (QtIFW). .sp The module also defines several commands to control the behavior of the \fBCPack IFW Generator\fP\&. .SS Commands .sp The module defines the following commands: .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B cpack_ifw_configure_component Sets the arguments specific to the CPack IFW generator. .INDENT 7.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C cpack_ifw_configure_component( [COMMON] [ESSENTIAL] [VIRTUAL] [FORCED_INSTALLATION] [REQUIRES_ADMIN_RIGHTS] [NAME ] [DISPLAY_NAME ] # Note: Internationalization supported [DESCRIPTION ] # Note: Internationalization supported [UPDATE_TEXT ] [VERSION ] [RELEASE_DATE ] [SCRIPT
