Normally information about CPack generator may be found on the Wiki http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:CPackPackageGenerators now when you cannot find information there you can try inside CPack source or CPack module: CPackDeb.cmake is the one for Deb packaging which defines DEB specific variable usage. The one which may satisty your need is: # CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_CONTROL_EXTRA # This variable allow advanced user to add custom script to the control.tar.gz (inside the .deb archive) # Typical examples are: # - conffiles # - postinst # - postrm # - prerm" # Usage: # SET(CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_CONTROL_EXTRA # "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/prerm;${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/postrm") Thus I would say that if you SET(CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_CONTROL_EXTRA <yourpath_to>/postinst) it should work as expected. If it does may you can update the DEB part of the wiki accordingly: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:CPackPackageGenerators#DEB_.28UNIX_only.29 -- Erk Membre de l'April - « promouvoir et défendre le logiciel libre » - http://www.april.org _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
