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.


       --copyright [file]
              Print the CMake copyright and exit.

              If a file is specified, the copyright is written into it.


       --help,-help,-usage,-h,-H,/?
              Print usage information and exit.

              Usage describes the basic command line interface and its
              options.


       --help-full [file]
              Print full help and exit.

              Full help displays most of the documentation provided by the
              UNIX man page.  It is provided for use on non-UNIX platforms,
              but is also convenient if the man page is not installed.  If a
              file is specified, the help is written into it.


       --help-html [file]
              Print full help in HTML format.

              This option is used by CMake authors to help produce web pages.
              If a file is specified, the help is written into it.


       --help-man [file]
              Print full help as a UNIX man page and exit.

              This option is used by the cmake build to generate the UNIX man
              page.  If a file is specified, the help is written into it.


       --version,-version,/V [file]
              Show program name/version banner and exit.

              If a file is specified, the version is written into it.


GENERATORS
       DEB    Debian packages


       NSIS   Null Soft Installer


       RPM    RPM packages


       STGZ   Self extracting Tar GZip compression


       TBZ2   Tar BZip2 compression


       TGZ    Tar GZip compression


       TZ     Tar Compress compression


       ZIP    ZIP file format


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. ;-)
