I'm using CPack for NSIS and would like to place my exe file in $SMPROGRAMS\$STARTMENU_FOLDER and not in $SMPROGRAMS\$STARTMENU_FOLDER\bin. The only way to do it is using CPACK_NSIS_CREATE_ICONS.
With this expression
set(CPACK_NSIS_CREATE_ICONS "CreateShortCut \$SMPROGRAMS\\$STARTMENU_FOLDER\\${PROJECT_NAME}.lnk \$INSTDIR\\${PROJECT_NAME}.exe")
I can successfully create a package, but cmake/cpack shows a warning like this:
CMake Warning (dev) at D:/NTool/build/CPackConfig.cmake:51 (SET):
Syntax error in cmake code at
D:/NTool/build/CPackConfig.cmake:51
when parsing string
CreateShortCut $SMPROGRAMS\$STARTMENU_FOLDER\NTool.lnk $INSTDIR\NTool.exe
Invalid escape sequence \N
Policy CMP0010 is not set: Bad variable reference syntax is an error. Run
"cmake --help-policy CMP0010" for policy details. Use the cmake_policy
command to set the policy and suppress this warning.
This warning is for project developers. Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.
CPack: Create package using NSIS
CPack: Install projects
The project.nsis file has then following command for creating a shortcut:
CreateShortCut $SMPROGRAMS\$STARTMENU_FOLDER\NTool.lnk $INSTDIR\NTool.exe
How can I achieve that CreateShortCut looks like it should i.e. with quotations around arguments:
CreateShortCut "$SMPROGRAMS\$STARTMENU_FOLDER\NTool.lnk" "$INSTDIR\NTool.exe"
Best regards,
Yegor
