Heh - weird. Now that I know CPack 2.6 is supposed to produce .deb files, I've decided not to go crazy trying to produce a version of DpkgDeb that I'm satisfied with. Instead, I plan to use this temporary solution: I'll define inside my CMakeList.txt files one install component ( see "INSTALL(... COMPONENT ...)" ) for each .deb I want to produce. Then I'll use a shell script like this: 1. make all 2. for each .deb package I want to produce: 2.1 do a 'make install' specifying that .deb package's install component 2.2 use the "CONFIGURE" command to build the Debian CONTROL file 2.3 Use dpkg-deb and lintian to build/test the desired .deb file - Christian _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list CMake@cmake.org http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
