This is an interesting question. Currently I think you are right there is no *builtin* way to know if your script is being run from within CPack. I think the feature is interesting and it is worth a feature request. The solution is easy: make CPack defines something like CPACK_IS_RUNNING variable and then you can do IF(CPACK_IS_RUNNING) from within your script. Builtin support for this needs [very small] patch. Now you can emulate this feature by using a CPACK_PROJECT_CONFIG_FILE. See the doc here: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:CPackPackageGenerators#Overall_usage_.28common_to_all_generators.29 The CPACK_PROJECT_CONFIG_FILE is loaded by CPack for each generator it has to launch so if you unconditionnally define set(CPACK_IS_RUNNING 1) in this file then CPACK_IS_RUNNING will be defined before your install time script is runned. I didn't tried but I think it should work as expected. -- 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
