The following is one example of +packaging all source files of a project: + +.. code-block:: cmake + + set(CPACK_SOURCE_GENERATOR "TGZ") + set(CPACK_SOURCE_IGNORE_FILES + \\.git/ + build/ + ".*~$" + ) + set(CPACK_VERBATIM_VARIABLES YES) + include(CPack) + +When this generator is called from ``CPackConfig.cmake`` (or through the +``package`` target), then the generated archive will contain all files +that have been installed via CMake's :command:`install` command (and the +deprecated commands :command:`install_files`, :command:`install_programs`, +and :command:`install_targets`). + +Variables specific to CPack Archive generator +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +.. variable:: CPACK_ARCHIVE_FILE_NAME + CPACK_ARCHIVE_<component>_FILE_NAME + + Package file name without extension. The extension is determined from the + archive format (see list above) and automatically appended to the file name. + The default is ``<CPACK_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME>[-<component>]``, with spaces + replaced by '-'. + +.. variable:: CPACK_ARCHIVE_COMPONENT_INSTALL + + Enable component packaging. If enabled (ON), then the archive generator + creates multiple packages. The default is OFF, which means that a single + package containing files of all components is generated. + +Variables used by CPack Archive generator +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +These variables are used by the Archive generator, but are also available to +CPack generators which are essentially archives at their core. These include: + + - :cpack_gen:`CPack Cygwin Generator` + - :cpack_gen:`CPack FreeBSD Generator` + +.. variable:: CPACK_ARCHIVE_THREADS + + The number of threads to use when performing the compression. If set to + ``0``, the number of available cores on the machine will be used instead. + The default is ``1`` which limits compression to a single thread. Note that + not all compression modes support threading in all environments. Currently, + only the XZ compression may support it. + +.. note:: + + Official CMake binaries available on ``cmake.org`` ship with a ``liblzma`` + that does not support parallel compression. |
