[CMake] Cpack from CMake and NSIS

[David Cole]

That NSIS file is configure from Modules/NSIS.template.in -- in the input
file the line giving you an error is:

  InstallDir "$PROGRAMFILES\@CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY@"

So.... there must be a carriage return in your definition of
CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY somehow.


Perhaps this:

SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY "aten

${CMake_VERSION_MAJOR}.${CMake_VERSION_MINOR}")


should be that:

SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY "aten
${ATEN_VERSION_MAJOR}.${ATEN_VERSION_MINOR}")

Looks like you have an accidental carriage return in your string. (And
leftover references to the CMake_* version variables...)


HTH,
David
