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 gen-
erating 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

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 glob-
ally to CMake. By modifying the values of properties the be-
haviour 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. ;-)
