Thank you for the response John. When I first setup CPack it built both
Release and Debug, but it didn't package the required DLLs in the
installer. I did some searching and came across the "GetPrerequisites"
module. I had this scan the executables I wanted to package up to
create a list of the DLLs I needed. I had to manually specify the
directory however, because I'm not sure how to tell CPack what
configuration the user wants to build. I have a feeling there's a
better way around this, but I haven't figure it out yet.
Here's the code for one of the executables in the package.
########## INSTALLER ##########
IF(INSTALLER_WITH_PROGRAM)
# Add Microsoft DLLs to Installer
INCLUDE(InstallRequiredSystemLibraries)
include(GetPrerequisites)
# Clear Path Variable
set(PATH_TO_FILE "${PATH_TO_FILE}-NOTFOUND")
set(DLL "DLL-NOTFOUND")
# Scan the executable for required DLLs
IF(EXISTS "${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}/Release/Program.exe")
GET_PREREQUISITES("${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}/Release/Program.exe"
DEPENDENCIES 1 1 "" "")
# Scan for each DLL
FOREACH(DEPENDENCY ${DEPENDENCIES})
FOREACH(PATH_TO_FILE ${CMAKE_MODULE_PATH})
find_file(DLL ${DEPENDENCY} "${PATH_TO_FILE}/bin"})
ENDFOREACH(PATH_TO_FILE)
# Add discovered DLL to Installer
install(FILES ${DLL} DESTINATION "bin" )
# Reset DLL Variable
set(DLL "DLL-NOTFOUND")
ENDFOREACH(DEPENDENCY)
# Add Release TS Executable
install(TARGETS Program RUNTIME DESTINATION "bin")
ELSE()
message("Please build
${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}/Release/Program.exe and run CMake again.")
ENDIF(EXISTS "${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}/Release/Program.exe")
ENDIF(INSTALLER_WITH_PROGRAM)
