[cmake-developers] CPack IFW generator

[Konstantin Podsvirov]

Hello dear developers!

And again CPack IFW generator!!!

This generator is not part of CMake, but I hope that soon it will become possible.

This letter I once again want to awaken interest in the creation of new cross-platform
the binary installer is based on Qt Framework Installer tools (http://qt-project.org/doc/qtinstallerframework/index.html)

(Sorry for my English. I use a translator)

I already appeared here some time ago:
http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/cmake-developers/2014-May/010430.html

I received some recommendations and considered them.

With each commit generator becomes better.

As before you can clone the code for the study:
git clone git://podsvirov.pro/cmake/cpackifwgenerator.git

Or check out the code in your browser:

In the Wiki I found an example of creating a binary instalatorow:
http://cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:Component_Install_With_CPack

My generator also copes with this task. Here's how it looks in Linux and Windows:

I strive to create the binary installer CMake using a new generator. I already have the achievements.
Created installers produce the set of all that was specified in the install(...)but do not create shortcuts.
Version of CMake (CPack IFW generator) collected them available for Linux and Windows now:
http://ifw.podsvirov.pro/cmake/cmake-3.0.20140709-ifw-linux-i686.run
http://ifw.podsvirov.pro/cmake/cmake-3.0.20140709-ifw-windows-x64.exe
http://ifw.podsvirov.pro/cmake/cmake-3.0.20140709-ifw-windows-x86.exe

Please test these installers and write your comments.

It is not excluded that in the folder http://ifw.podsvirov.pro/cmake may be something useful.

I've created accounts Mantis and CDash.

Git push access to git at cmake.org:cmake.git I do not have.

With respect
Konstantin Podsvirov
