[CMake] Running cpack without source folder

[Attila Krasznahorkay]

Hi,

If you run the cpack executable directly, it should not reconfigure/rebuild your project. As far as I know...

How do you run it now? "make package"? That will reconfigure/rebuild the project not really because of CPack, but because of how the Makefiles are set up.

Cheers,
            Attila
