Take a look at this mail from 8 years ago, it explains all the steps and
the rationale and usefulness of each of them:

I think a few new macros (CMake, not CPack) are needed to generate the IDL,
then compile it to the type library (.tlb), then combine it with the
executable. Amb maybe even one that combines those three in one, which will
be what people usually do.
