PackageMaker must be installed separately from Xcode. It is available from the developer download site:

https://developer.apple.com/downloads [^]

See the "Auxiliary tools for Xcode" package.

Actually, it does, it's just not installed by default with Xcode 4.3 and up.

We should probably detect whether it's installed or not at CMake configure time, and only execute tests that depend on it if it's there. Or turn off the part of the test that depends on it if it's not there.

If you install it separately, CPack will use it.

See the code snippet starting with the comment on this line of cmCPackPackageMakerGenerator.cxx:

http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob;f=Source/CPack/cmCPackPackageMakerGenerator.cxx;h=edbe8380d6d86d9166c0f2a301525d8f7b29c26b;hb=902ab6b5652a1858762696b8271c5a52e29aa041#l359 [^]

If it's in a different location than one of those searched in that chunk of code, the caller/client project can set CPACK_INSTALLER_PROGRAM to the full path to have this code still use it.

To support the newer package generator "productbuild", we'll need somebody to step up to the plate and write a new CPack generator...

As reported in 0014534 OS X 10.9 and Xcode 5 do not have a download available for PackageMaker.

Even though more work is needed to support a new packaging tool for OS X, we can at least disable the PackageMaker option by default:

CPack: Disable OS X PackageMaker by default
http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=7947981c [^]

Users can always enable the option locally if they have the tool installed.
