Directory where license and menu files for different languages are stored. Setting this causes CPack to look for a <language>.menu.txt and <language>.license.txt or <language>.license.rtf file for every language defined in CPACK_DMG_SLA_LANGUAGES. If both this variable and CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_LICENSE are set, CPack will only look for the menu files and use the same license file for all languages. If both <language>.license.txt and <language>.license.rtf exist, the .txt file will be used.

New in version 3.17: RTF support.

CPACK_DMG_SLA_LANGUAGES

New in version 3.5.

Languages for which a license agreement is provided when mounting the generated DMG. A menu file consists of 9 lines of text. The first line is is the name of the language itself, uppercase, in English (e.g. German). The other lines are translations of the following strings:

For every language in this list, CPack will try to find files <language>.menu.txt and <language>.license.txt in the directory specified by the CPACK_DMG_SLA_DIR variable.

CPACK_DMG_<component>_FILE_NAME

New in version 3.17.

File name when packaging <component> as its own DMG (CPACK_COMPONENTS_GROUPING set to IGNORE).

projects

The projects field is an array of objects describing CMake projects which comprise the CPack project. The values in this field are derived from CPACK_INSTALL_CMAKE_PROJECTS. In most cases, this will be only a single project. The project objects have the following fields:

packageName

The package name given in CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME. Only present if this option is set.

packageVersion

The package version given in CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION. Only present if this option is set.

packageDescriptionFile

The package description file given in CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_FILE. Only present if this option is set.

errorOnAbsoluteInstallDestination

True if CPACK_ERROR_ON_ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_DESTINATION is true, false if it is not.

CPACK_EXTERNAL_REQUESTED_VERSIONS

This variable is used to request a specific version of the CPack External generator. It is a list of major.minor values, separated by semicolons.

If this variable is set to a non-empty value, the CPack External generator will iterate through each item in the list to search for a version that it knows how to generate. Requested versions should be listed in order of descending preference by the client software, as the first matching version in the list will be generated.

The generator knows how to generate the version if it has a versioned generator whose major version exactly matches the requested major version, and whose minor version is greater than or equal to the requested minor version. For example, if CPACK_EXTERNAL_REQUESTED_VERSIONS contains 1.0, and the CPack External generator knows how to generate 1.1, it will generate 1.1. If the generator doesn't know how to generate a version in the list, it skips the version and looks at the next one. If it doesn't know how to generate any of the requested versions, an error is thrown.

If this variable is not set, or is empty, the CPack External generator will generate the highest major and minor version that it knows how to generate.

If an invalid version is encountered in CPACK_EXTERNAL_REQUESTED_VERSIONS (one that doesn't match major.minor, where major and minor are integers), it is ignored.

CPACK_EXTERNAL_ENABLE_STAGING

This variable can be set to true to enable optional installation into a temporary staging area which can then be picked up and packaged by an external packaging tool. The top level directory used by CPack for the current packaging task is contained in CPACK_TOPLEVEL_DIRECTORY. It is automatically cleaned up on each run before packaging is initiated and can be used for custom temporary files required by the external packaging tool. It also contains the staging area CPACK_TEMPORARY_DIRECTORY into which CPack performs the installation when staging is enabled.

CPACK_EXTERNAL_PACKAGE_SCRIPT

This variable can optionally specify the full path to a CMake script file to be run as part of the CPack invocation. It is invoked after (optional) staging took place and may run an external packaging tool. The script has access to the variables defined by the CPack config file.

CPACK_EXTERNAL_BUILT_PACKAGES

New in version 3.19.

The CPACK_EXTERNAL_PACKAGE_SCRIPT script may set this list variable to the full paths of generated package files. CPack will copy these files from the staging directory back to the top build directory and possibly produce checksum files if the CPACK_PACKAGE_CHECKSUM is set.

rpm -qp --scripts  package.rpm

New in version 3.18: The CPACK_RPM_POST_TRANS_SCRIPT_FILE variable.

CPACK_RPM_USER_FILELIST

CPACK_RPM_<COMPONENT>_USER_FILELIST

May be used to explicitly specify %(<directive>) file line in the spec file. Like %config(noreplace) or any other directive that be found in the %files section. Since the CPack RPM generator is generating the list of files (and directories) the user specified files of the CPACK_RPM_<COMPONENT>_USER_FILELIST list will be removed from the generated list. If referring to directories do not add a trailing slash.

New in version 3.8: You can have multiple directives per line, as in %attr(600,root,root) %config(noreplace).

CPACK_RPM_CHANGELOG_FILE

Variable contains a list of relocation paths that if relative are prefixed by the value of CPACK_RPM_<COMPONENT>_PACKAGE_PREFIX or by the value of CPACK_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX if the component version is not provided. Variable is not component based as its content can be used to set a different path prefix for e.g. binary dir and documentation dir at the same time. Only prefixes that are required by a certain component are added to that component - component must contain at least one file/directory/symbolic link with CPACK_RPM_RELOCATION_PATHS prefix for a certain relocation path to be added. Package will not contain any relocation paths if there are no files/directories/symbolic links on any of the provided prefix locations. Packages that either do not contain any relocation paths or contain files/directories/symbolic links that are outside relocation paths print out an AUTHOR_WARNING that RPM will be partially relocatable.

Per component relocation path install prefix.

May be used to set per component CPACK_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX for relocatable RPM packages.

CPACK_RPM_NO_INSTALL_PREFIX_RELOCATION

CPACK_RPM_NO_<COMPONENT>_INSTALL_PREFIX_RELOCATION

New in version 3.3.

Removal of default install prefix from relocation paths list.

May be used to remove CPACK_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX and CPACK_RPM_<COMPONENT>_PACKAGE_PREFIX from relocatable RPM prefix paths.

CPACK_RPM_ADDITIONAL_MAN_DIRS

New in version 3.3.

May be used to set additional man dirs that could potentially be compressed by brp-compress RPM macro. Variable content must be a list of regular expressions that point to directories containing man files or to man files directly. Note that in order to compress man pages a path must also be present in brp-compress RPM script and that brp-compress script must be added to RPM configuration by the operating system.

Regular expressions that are added by default were taken from brp-compress RPM macro:

CPACK_RPM_DEFAULT_USER

CPACK_RPM_<compName>_DEFAULT_USER

New in version 3.6.

default user ownership of RPM content

Value should be user name and not UID. Note that <compName> must be in upper-case.

CPACK_RPM_DEFAULT_GROUP

CPACK_RPM_<compName>_DEFAULT_GROUP

New in version 3.6.

default group ownership of RPM content

Value should be group name and not GID. Note that <compName> must be in upper-case.

CPACK_RPM_DEFAULT_FILE_PERMISSIONS

CPACK_RPM_<compName>_DEFAULT_FILE_PERMISSIONS

New in version 3.6.

default permissions used for packaged files

Accepted values are lists with PERMISSIONS. Valid permissions are:

Note that <compName> must be in upper-case.

CPACK_RPM_DEFAULT_DIR_PERMISSIONS

CPACK_RPM_<compName>_DEFAULT_DIR_PERMISSIONS

New in version 3.6.

default permissions used for packaged directories

Accepted values are lists with PERMISSIONS. Valid permissions are the same as for CPACK_RPM_DEFAULT_FILE_PERMISSIONS. Note that <compName> must be in upper-case.

CPACK_RPM_INSTALL_WITH_EXEC

New in version 3.11.

force execute permissions on programs and shared libraries

Force set owner, group and world execute permissions on programs and shared libraries. This can be used for creating valid rpm packages on systems such as Debian where shared libraries do not have execute permissions set.

• For component based packaging component interdependency is not checked when processing symbolic links. Symbolic links pointing to content of a different component are treated the same way as if pointing to location that will not be packaged.
• Symbolic links pointing to a location through one or more intermediate symbolic links will not be handled differently - if the intermediate symbolic link(s) is also on a relocatable path, relocating it during package installation may cause initial symbolic link to point to an invalid location.

CPACK_RPM_DEBUGINFO_PACKAGE

CPACK_RPM_<component>_DEBUGINFO_PACKAGE

Enable generation of debuginfo RPM package(s).

CPACK_BUILD_SOURCE_DIRS

Provides locations of root directories of source files from which binaries were built.

CPACK_RPM_BUILD_SOURCE_DIRS_PREFIX

CPACK_RPM_<component>_BUILD_SOURCE_DIRS_PREFIX

Prefix of location where sources will be placed during package installation.

CPACK_RPM_DEBUGINFO_EXCLUDE_DIRS

Directories containing sources that should be excluded from debuginfo packages.

Listed paths are owned by other RPM packages and should therefore not be deleted on debuginfo package uninstallation.

CPACK_RPM_DEBUGINFO_EXCLUDE_DIRS_ADDITION

Paths that should be appended to CPACK_RPM_DEBUGINFO_EXCLUDE_DIRS for exclusion.

CPACK_RPM_DEBUGINFO_SINGLE_PACKAGE

New in version 3.8.

Create a single debuginfo package even if components packaging is set.

When this variable is enabled it produces a single debuginfo package even if component packaging is enabled.

When using this feature in combination with components packaging and there is more than one component this variable requires CPACK_RPM_MAIN_COMPONENT to be set.

CPACK_RPM_DEBUGINFO_FILE_NAME

CPACK_RPM_<component>_DEBUGINFO_FILE_NAME

New in version 3.9.

Debuginfo package file name.

Alternatively provided debuginfo package file name must end with .rpm suffix and should differ from file names of other generated packages.

Variable may contain @cpack_component@ placeholder which will be replaced by component name if component packaging is enabled otherwise it deletes the placeholder.

Setting the variable to RPM-DEFAULT may be used to explicitly set filename generation to default.

CPACK_RPM_PACKAGE_SOURCES

Should the content be packaged as a source rpm (default is binary rpm).

CPACK_RPM_SOURCE_PKG_BUILD_PARAMS

Additional command-line parameters provided to cmake(1) executable.

CPACK_RPM_SOURCE_PKG_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX

Packaging install prefix that would be provided in CPACK_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX variable for producing binary RPM packages.

CPACK_RPM_BUILDREQUIRES

List of source rpm build dependencies.

May be used to set source RPM build dependencies (BuildRequires). Note that you must enclose the complete build requirements string between quotes, for example:

set(CPACK_RPM_BUILDREQUIRES "python >= 2.5.0, cmake >= 2.8")

CPACK_RPM_REQUIRES_EXCLUDE_FROM

New in version 3.22.

May be used to keep the dependency generator from scanning specific files or directories for dependencies. Note that you can use a regular expression that matches all of the directories or files, for example:

set(CPACK_RPM_REQUIRES_EXCLUDE_FROM "bin/libqsqloci.*\\.so.*")

CPACK_WIX_UPGRADE_GUID

Upgrade GUID (Product/@UpgradeCode)

Will be automatically generated unless explicitly provided.

It should be explicitly set to a constant generated globally unique identifier (GUID) to allow your installers to replace existing installations that use the same GUID.

You may for example explicitly set this variable in your CMakeLists.txt to the value that has been generated per default. You should not use GUIDs that you did not generate yourself or which may belong to other projects.

A GUID shall have the following fixed length syntax:

XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX

(each X represents an uppercase hexadecimal digit)

CPACK_WIX_PRODUCT_GUID

Product GUID (Product/@Id)

Will be automatically generated unless explicitly provided.

If explicitly provided this will set the Product Id of your installer.

The installer will abort if it detects a pre-existing installation that uses the same GUID.

The GUID shall use the syntax described for CPACK_WIX_UPGRADE_GUID.

CPACK_WIX_LICENSE_RTF

RTF License File

If CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_LICENSE has an .rtf extension it is used as-is.

If CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_LICENSE has an .txt extension it is implicitly converted to RTF by the WIX Generator. The expected encoding of the .txt file is UTF-8.

With CPACK_WIX_LICENSE_RTF you can override the license file used by the WIX Generator in case CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_LICENSE is in an unsupported format or the .txt -> .rtf conversion does not work as expected.

CPACK_WIX_PRODUCT_ICON

The Icon shown next to the program name in Add/Remove programs.

If set, this icon is used in place of the default icon.

CPACK_WIX_UI_REF

This variable allows you to override the Id of the <UIRef> element in the WiX template.

The default is WixUI_InstallDir in case no CPack components have been defined and WixUI_FeatureTree otherwise.

CPACK_WIX_UI_BANNER

The bitmap will appear at the top of all installer pages other than the welcome and completion dialogs.

If set, this image will replace the default banner image.

This image must be 493 by 58 pixels.

CPACK_WIX_UI_DIALOG

Background bitmap used on the welcome and completion dialogs.

If this variable is set, the installer will replace the default dialog image.

This image must be 493 by 312 pixels.

CPACK_WIX_PROGRAM_MENU_FOLDER

Start menu folder name for launcher.

If this variable is not set, it will be initialized with CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME

New in version 3.16: If this variable is set to ., then application shortcuts will be created directly in the start menu and the uninstaller shortcut will be omitted.

CPACK_WIX_CULTURES

Language(s) of the installer

Languages are compiled into the WixUI extension library. To use them, simply provide the name of the culture. If you specify more than one culture identifier in a comma or semicolon delimited list, the first one that is found will be used. You can find a list of supported languages at: http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/WixUI_localization.htm

CPACK_WIX_TEMPLATE

Template file for WiX generation

If this variable is set, the specified template will be used to generate the WiX wxs file. This should be used if further customization of the output is required.

If this variable is not set, the default MSI template included with CMake will be used.

CPACK_WIX_PATCH_FILE

Optional list of XML files with fragments to be inserted into generated WiX sources.

New in version 3.5: Support listing multiple patch files.

This optional variable can be used to specify an XML file that the WIX generator will use to inject fragments into its generated source files.

Patch files understood by the CPack WIX generator roughly follow this RELAX NG compact schema:

start = CPackWiXPatch
CPackWiXPatch = element CPackWiXPatch { CPackWiXFragment* }
CPackWiXFragment = element CPackWiXFragment
{
    attribute Id { string },
    fragmentContent*
}
fragmentContent = element * - CPackWiXFragment
{
    (attribute * { text } | text | fragmentContent)*
}

Currently fragments can be injected into most Component, File, Directory and Feature elements.

New in version 3.3: The following additional special Ids can be used:

New in version 3.7: Support patching arbitrary <Feature> elements.

New in version 3.9: Allow setting additional attributes.

The following example illustrates how this works.

Given that the WIX generator creates the following XML element:

<Component Id="CM_CP_applications.bin.my_libapp.exe" Guid="*"/>

The following XML patch file may be used to inject an Environment element into it:

<CPackWiXPatch>
  <CPackWiXFragment Id="CM_CP_applications.bin.my_libapp.exe">
    <Environment Id="MyEnvironment" Action="set"
      Name="MyVariableName" Value="MyVariableValue"/>
  </CPackWiXFragment>
</CPackWiXPatch>

CPACK_WIX_EXTRA_SOURCES

Extra WiX source files

This variable provides an optional list of extra WiX source files (.wxs) that should be compiled and linked. The full path to source files is required.

CPACK_WIX_EXTRA_OBJECTS

Extra WiX object files or libraries

This variable provides an optional list of extra WiX object (.wixobj) and/or WiX library (.wixlib) files. The full path to objects and libraries is required.

CPACK_WIX_EXTENSIONS

This variable provides a list of additional extensions for the WiX tools light and candle.

CPACK_WIX_<TOOL>_EXTENSIONS

This is the tool specific version of CPACK_WIX_EXTENSIONS. <TOOL> can be either LIGHT or CANDLE.

CPACK_WIX_<TOOL>_EXTRA_FLAGS

This list variable allows you to pass additional flags to the WiX tool <TOOL>.

Use it at your own risk. Future versions of CPack may generate flags which may be in conflict with your own flags.

<TOOL> can be either LIGHT or CANDLE.

CPACK_WIX_CMAKE_PACKAGE_REGISTRY

If this variable is set the generated installer will create an entry in the windows registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Kitware\CMake\Packages\<PackageName> The value for <PackageName> is provided by this variable.

Assuming you also install a CMake configuration file this will allow other CMake projects to find your package with the find_package() command.

CPACK_WIX_PROPERTY_<PROPERTY>

New in version 3.1.

This variable can be used to provide a value for the Windows Installer property <PROPERTY>

The following list contains some example properties that can be used to customize information under "Programs and Features" (also known as "Add or Remove Programs")

CPACK_WIX_ROOT_FEATURE_TITLE

New in version 3.7.

Sets the name of the root install feature in the WIX installer. Same as CPACK_COMPONENT_<compName>_DISPLAY_NAME for components.

CPACK_WIX_ROOT_FEATURE_DESCRIPTION

New in version 3.7.

Sets the description of the root install feature in the WIX installer. Same as CPACK_COMPONENT_<compName>_DESCRIPTION for components.

CPACK_WIX_SKIP_PROGRAM_FOLDER

New in version 3.7.

If this variable is set to true, the default install location of the generated package will be CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY directly. The install location will not be located relatively below ProgramFiles or ProgramFiles64.

CPACK_WIX_ROOT_FOLDER_ID

New in version 3.9.

This variable allows specification of a custom root folder ID. The generator specific <64> token can be used for folder IDs that come in 32-bit and 64-bit variants. In 32-bit builds the token will expand empty while in 64-bit builds it will expand to 64.

When unset generated installers will default installing to ProgramFiles<64>Folder.

CPACK_WIX_ROOT

This variable can optionally be set to the root directory of a custom WiX Toolset installation.

When unspecified CPack will try to locate a WiX Toolset installation via the WIX environment variable instead.

CPACK_WIX_CUSTOM_XMLNS

New in version 3.19.

This variable provides a list of custom namespace declarations that are necessary for using WiX extensions. Each declaration should be in the form name=url, where name is the plain namespace without the usual xmlns: prefix and url is an unquoted namespace url. A list of commonly known WiX schemata can be found here: https://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/xsd/
