cpack version 2.8.0
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name
cpack - Packaging driver provided by CMake.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Usage
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.

Properties
CMake Properties - Properties supported by CMake, the Cross-Platform Makefile Generator.
This is the documentation for the properties supported by CMake. Properties
can have different scopes. They can either be assigned to a source file, a
directory, a target or globally to CMake. By modifying the values of
properties the behaviour of the build system can be customized.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Compatibility Commands
CMake Compatibility Listfile Commands - Obsolete commands supported by CMake for compatibility.
This is the documentation for now obsolete listfile commands from previous
CMake versions, which are still supported for compatibility reasons. You
should instead use the newer, faster and shinier new commands. ;-)
