Hi all, We've recently started generating (debian) packages with CPack and discovered that handling library dependencies for particular distributions was not as smooth as it can be. The *_DEPENDS string just gets copied over to the final package so it puts all the burden on the user side to manage what distribution's dependencies get enabled.
Instead, can we have something similar to how build-type-dependent libraries work out? For example, a library string can be set according to: set(LIBRARY debug mylibraryd optimized mylibrary) And joining multiple library strings will take care of organizing the dependencies. In the same way, it would be cool if we can specify distribution dependencies that way: set(*DEPENDS ubuntu mylib3-dev debian mylib-devel) Then depending on the distribution type the user sets, the correct dependencies can be selected. rosen, _______________________________________________ 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
