[CMake] CPack 2.6.2: can't create temporary directory

Wed Oct 15 00:46:03 EDT 2008

Great news!

I started to browse through the source code myself but figured out that as I don't have full understanding of the big picture, I won't get it right without breaking something else somewhere... So, I'm happy to wait for your solution : ) Meanwhile I get along with 2.6.0

Thanks David!

Br,
Petri

Scratch my last reply somewhat.....
Your CMakeLists file runs "cpack" as the custom command, which was picking up cpack 2.6.2 from my PATH rather than using the same cpack that goes with the cmake 2.6.0 which I was using by fullpath to configure the project.

So. It does work with CPack 2.6.0 and I will work on the fix....
:-)
Sorry for the pilot error,David

OK.... so when I reproduce this issue, I see that I do not have directory creation permissions in "/opt" on my Linux machine. So... the error message is not really surprising to me. Plus, I get the same error with CMake 2.6.0 and CMake 2.6.2.

Maybe you lost permissions to your "/opt" directory at the same time that you upgraded to CMake 2.6.2.....??
Let me know if you still think this is a CMake issue after you verify that you really have different behavior between 2.6.0 and 2.6.2 on the same machine.

Hi!

I have put together a custom way of building packages inspired by Stuart Herring posted here earlier:

Fri Apr 4 20:39:04 EDT 2008
[CMake] CPack: Building Multiple Packages

Everything is working fine with version 2.6.0 but things break up with 2.6.2. The
error I get is like:

CPack Error: Problem creating temporary directory: /opt/test

So, I'm not sure if there is a bug in 2.6.2 or has something changed between 2.6.0 and 2.6.2 which I don't take into account. 

I have attached to this mail a tar package containing full example of the problem.

For those who can't bother with the tar file here is written out the CMakeLists.txt & CPackConfig.in files, which make it all happen:

CMakeLists.txt:

#===============================================================================

# Top level

#===============================================================================

CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED(VERSION 2.6)

PROJECT(test)

SET(VERSION_MAJOR 0)
SET(VERSION_MINOR 1)

SET(VERSION_PATCH 2)
SET(VERSION "${VERSION_MAJOR}.${VERSION_MINOR}.${VERSION_PATCH}")

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET(pack)

MACRO(ADD_PACKAGE COMPONENT)
  SET(TARGET pack-${COMPONENT})
  SET(CONFIG "CPackConfig-${COMPONENT}.cmake")

  SET(PACKAGE ${COMPONENT})
  CONFIGURE_FILE("CPackConfig.in" "${CONFIG}" @ONLY)
  ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET(${TARGET} COMMAND cpack --config "${CONFIG}")
  ADD_DEPENDENCIES(pack
 ${TARGET})
ENDMACRO(ADD_PACKAGE)

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SET(CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX "/opt/test")
SET(CPACK_GENERATOR "DEB" "RPM")

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# create test binary
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ADD_EXECUTABLE(bin1 "bin1.cc")
INSTALL(TARGETS bin1 DESTINATION "bin" COMPONENT "binaries")

ADD_PACKAGE(binaries)

CPackConfig.in:

#===============================================================================
# template for package generation
#===============================================================================

SET(CMAKE_SET_DESTDIR
 "@CMAKE_SET_DESTDIR@")
SET(CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX "@CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX@")
SET(CPACK_SET_DESTDIR "@CMAKE_SET_DESTDIR@")
SET(CPACK_INSTALL_PREFIX "@CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX@")

SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MAJOR @VERSION_MAJOR@)
SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MINOR @VERSION_MINOR@)
SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_PATCH @VERSION_PATCH@)

SET(CPACK_CMAKE_GENERATOR "@CMAKE_GENERATOR@")

SET(CPACK_GENERATOR "@CPACK_GENERATOR@")

SET(CPACK_INSTALL_CMAKE_PROJECTS "@PROJECT_BINARY_DIR@;@PROJECT_NAME@;@PACKAGE@;/")
SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME "@PROJECT_NAME at -@PACKAGE at -@VERSION at -@CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME@")

SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME "@PROJECT_NAME@")
SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_VENDOR "Test Vendor")
SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_CONTACT "test at vendor.org")
SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_FILE "@PROJECT_BINARY_DIR@/Description.txt")

SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_SUMMARY "Test @PACKAGE@ Package")
SET(CPACK_SYSTEM_NAME "@CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME@")

and finally
 here is the output I get with cmake 2.6.0 and 2.6.2
