CPack NuGet Generator¶
When build a NuGet package there is no direct way to control an output
filename due a lack of the corresponding CLI option of NuGet, so there
is no CPACK_NUGET_PACKAGE_FILENAME
variable. To form the output filename
NuGet uses the package name and the version according to its built-in rules.
Also, be aware that including a top level directory
(CPACK_INCLUDE_TOPLEVEL_DIRECTORY
) is ignored by this generator.
Variables specific to CPack NuGet generator¶
The CPack NuGet generator may be used to create NuGet packages using
CPack

it uses the CPACK_XXX

specifics CPACK_NUGET_XXX
variables. In the “one per group” mode
(see CPACK_COMPONENTS_GROUPING
