CPack support in the OpenSceneGraph source tree

The OpenSceneGraph build system can generate packaging targets for you if you have cmake version 2.6.0 or higher. Versions of cmake from 2.6.1 works better in that it can generate packaging targets for the non-standard plugins (e.g. vnc, dae (COLLADA), vrml...). To enable generation of package targets run cmake with -DBUILD_PACKAGES=ON or check to box next to BUILD_PACKAGES in cmake-gui.

The following targets (at least) will be generated

Package Name	make target	MSVC project	Contents
libopenthreads	package_libopenthreads	Package libopenthreads	The OpenThreads? library. On windows using shared binaries it includes the dll
libopenthreads-dev	package_libopenthreads-dev	Package libopenthreads-dev	OpenThreads? headers. If building static binaries this package includes the library. On windows and building shared binaries this package contains the link library
libopenscenegraph	package_libopenscenegraph	Package libopenscenegraph	The OpenSceneGraph library.
libopenscenegraph-dev	package_libopenscenegraph-dev	Package libopenscenegraph-dev	OpenSceneGraph headers. Static libraries. On windows the .lib files for linking with the dlls

The following packaging targets will be generated depending on certain prereqs

Package Name	Pre-req	make target	MSVC project	Contents
openscenegraph	BUILD_APPLICATIONS=ON	package_openscenegraph	Package openscenegraph	The OSG applications, e.g. osgviewer, osgversion
openscenegraph-examples	BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON	package_openscenegraph-examples	Package openscenegraph-examples	The OSG examples, e.g. osgvolume, osganimate, osg2cpp
openthreads-doc	BUILD_DOCUMENTATION=ON	package_openthreads-doc	Package openthreads-doc	The OpenThreads? reference documentation
openscenegraph-doc	BUILD_DOCUMENTATION=ON	package_openscenegraph-doc	Package openscenegraph-doc	The OpenSceneGraph reference documentation

If you are building non-standard plugins the following targets might be generated. Generating these targets will happen only with cmake-2.6.1 or higher

Package Name	make target	MSVC project	Contents	Dependencies
libopenscenegraph-iv	package_libopenscenegraph-iv	Package libopenscenegraph-iv	The inventor plugin	Coin
libopenscenegraph-dae	package_libopenscenegraph-dae	Package libopenscenegraph-dae	The COLLADA plugin	COLLADA version-??
libopenscenegraph-dicom	package_libopenscenegraph-dicom	Package libopenscenegraph-dicom	The dicom plugin	ITK or DCMT
libopenscenegraph-gdal	package_libopenscenegraph-gdal	Package libopenscenegraph-gdal	The GDAL plugin	GDAL
libopenscenegraph-gecko	package_libopenscenegraph-gecko	Package libopenscenegraph-gecko	The Gecko plugin	libxul-1.8.x
libopenscenegraph-pdf	package_libopenscenegraph-pdf	Package libopenscenegraph-pdf	The pdf plugin	Cairo, Poppler
libopenscenegraph-svg	package_libopenscenegraph-svg	Package libopenscenegraph-svg	The svg plugin	Cairo/SVGR
libopenscenegraph-vnc	package_libopenscenegraph-vnc	Package libopenscenegraph-vnc	The VNC plugin	libVNCServer
libopenscenegraph-vrml	package_libopenscenegraph-vrml	Package libopenscenegraph-vrml	The VRML plugin	VRML-14.3

Platform specifics

Windows

* CPack looks for 7-zip (7-zip.org) or Winzip in the %ProgramFiles?% folder. I use only 7-zip and it works great for generating tgz's or zips if you like.

* The cmake scripts tries to determine what compiler you have. Especially it tries to distinguish between vc80 and vc80sp1 since vc80 (msvs 2005) is known to generate "false" error reports on osg-users

Package names

Package names are created on the form

<package>-<osg version>-<platform>-<arch>[-<compiler>]-<build_type>[-static].tar.gz

where

package

is the component, e.g. libopenscenegraph, openscenegraph

osg version

major, minor and patch verison of your osg source

platform

win32, win64, Linux etc.

arch

i386, x86, ia64 etc.

compiler

If OSG_CPACK_COMPILER is set it will get put here. A default is generated for msvc but anyone can set OSG_CPACK_COMPILER

build_type

Corresponds to CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE. Debug or Release on unices. On windows might be RelWithDebugInfo? or MinSize? too.

static

If you are building static libraries the package name ends with static

Deb, rpm, Stgz and zip archives

It is always possible to generate archives in other formats using generated ${OSG_BINARY_DIR}/CPackConfig-xxxxx.cmake. You just need to invoke cpack yourself, e.g.

cpack -G ZIP --config <OSG_BUILD_DIR>/CPackConfig-libopenscenegraph.cmake
cpack -G RPM --config <OSG_BUILD_DIR>/CPackConfig-openscenegraph-doc.cmake
cpack -G STGZ --config <OSG_BUILD_DIR>/CPackConfig-libopenthreads.cmake
