Creating installation packages

Unix-like systems (Unix Makefiles)

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cpack -G RPM -C Release

The command cpack --help will display the list of generators that are available on your system.

Microsoft Windows

In the Microsoft Visual Studio installer, be sure to install the components for CMake integration.

You will also need the following:

• Git
• CMake
• WiX Toolset

Execute the following in the Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt (a specially configured cmd.exe or Powershell).

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build . --config Release
cpack -G WIX

Debian GNU/Linux, Ubuntu, and similar systems

The cpack generator will skip ctest or the creation of a separate package for debug information:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cpack -G DEB -C Release
sudo dpkg -i cbmconvert*.deb

You can also initiate a build, run tests and create and install more conventional packages using the following commands:

dpkg-buildpackage --no-sign
sudo dpkg -i ../cbmconvert*.deb

If you invoking dpkg-buildpackage on an arbitrary source code revision and not a release, you will have to apply a patch like this in order to bypass some checks:
