CPACK_CUSTOM_INSTALL_VARIABLES
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 3.21
|
|
|
|
CPack variables (set via e.g. :option:`cpack -D`, ``CPackConfig.cmake`` or
|
|
:variable:`CPACK_PROJECT_CONFIG_FILE` scripts) are not directly visible in
|
|
installation scripts. Instead, one can pass a list of ``varName=value``
|
|
pairs in the ``CPACK_CUSTOM_INSTALL_VARIABLES`` variable. At install time,
|
|
each list item will result in a variable of the specified name (``varName``)
|
|
being set to the given ``value``. The ``=`` can be omitted for an empty
|
|
``value``.
|
|
|
|
``CPACK_CUSTOM_INSTALL_VARIABLES`` allows the packaging installation to be
|
|
influenced by the user or driving script at CPack runtime without having to
|
|
regenerate the install scripts.
|
|
|
|
Example
|
|
"""""""
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: cmake
|
|
|
|
install(FILES large.txt DESTINATION data)
|
|
|
|
install(CODE [[
|
|
if(ENABLE_COMPRESSION)
|
|
# "run-compressor" is a fictional tool that produces
|
|
# large.txt.xz from large.txt and then removes the input file
|
|
execute_process(COMMAND run-compressor $ENV{DESTDIR}${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/large.txt)
|
|
endif()
|
|
]])
|
|
|
|
With the above example snippet, :manual:`cpack <cpack(1)>` will by default
|
|
run the installation script with ``ENABLE_COMPRESSION`` unset, resulting in
|
|
a package containing the uncompressed ``large.txt``. This can be overridden
|
|
when invoking :manual:`cpack <cpack(1)>` like so:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell
|
|
|
|
cpack -D "CPACK_CUSTOM_INSTALL_VARIABLES=ENABLE_COMPRESSION=TRUE"
|
|
|
|
The installation script will then run with ``ENABLE_COMPRESSION`` set to
|
|
``TRUE``, resulting in a package containing the compressed ``large.txt.xz``
|
|
instead.
