Hi,
Is there any way to:
- disable the destination selection/customization altogether (both the
"Change Install Location" option and the respective page and the "Choose
Folder..." option one gets to if one clicks on "Change Install Location")
- disable the "Choose Folder..." option even though the "Change Install
Location" still exists...i.e. to allow changing of the target drive but not
the folder (hierarchy)
or
- (for non-monolithic/.mpkg packages) to allow full customization (both at
CMake/CPack-time and at runtime/installation-time) of the target location(s)
and folder hierarchy...i.e. to allow per component (independent) selection
of the target folder (including disabling the customization for some
components and allowing it for others)... This is what you get through the
Choice/Destination, Choice/Allow alternate volume and
Package/Configuration/Allow custom location options in the Apple's
PackageMaker application...
To reiterate, I have an application which has two components, one of which
must go strictly to a predesignated folder (the user must not be allowed to
change it) and the other component's install location can (but does not
necessarily need to be) changed... For this to work properly, CPack must, at
the very minimum, allow disabling of the install location customization
altogether or, better, allow
proper/full/'uncluttered-with-typical-hardcoded-choices' customization...
I apologize if there is an obvious/documented way of doing this but I was
unable to find it even after days of struggling with this issue...I even
went searching for undocumented options/variables through the CPack
binary...
set( CPACK_PACKAGE_RELOCATABLE ON ) did not help...
(using CMake 2.8.3)
ps. even though I set/use no installation type(s), the Installer 'sidebar'
still shows "Installation type"...
pps. the 'application' in question is actually a VST plugin (similar to an
AU component) for which CMake/CPack are additionally bugged by more/other
hardcoded choices...for example a VST plugin is a bundle with a ."vst"
extension making it impossible to use the install( TARGETS ... BUNDLE )
command because BUNDLE support is (AFAICT) hardcoded to use the ".app"
extension...
