Summary0013307: CPack Generators producing a single package only
DescriptionWhen I try the component example as described in issue 0010736, sample downloaded from the links there, ZIP, TGZ, TG, STGZ generators generate a monolithic generator only.

I downloaded CMake 2.8.3, and used the exact same example on the same environment, and the separate packages are generated correctly.
Steps To Reproduce1) Download component example file: http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/File:ComponentExampleStart.zip [^]

2) Run CMake with NMake Makefiles Generator. Running cpack -G ZIP will produce a single .zip file. Expected one per component.

Repeat the above steps with CMake 2.8.3, and the result is several .zip files as expected.
Additional Information- Used CMake 2.8.8
- NMake Generator (Using Visual Studio 2008)
- Didn't test this on Linux or OSX.
TagsNo tags attached.

The behavior you observe with 2.8.3 is a backward incompatible behavior
that did not exist in 2.8.2 and was fixed in 2.8.4 see 0011452.

Each CPack package generator has "default" component packaging way,
some of them default to "MONOLITHIC" for backward compatibility reason:
See: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:Component_Install_With_CPack#CPack_Generator_specific_behavior [^]

Try:
set(CPACK_ARCHIVE_COMPONENT_INSTALL ON)

in order to get component from archive generators (ZIP, TGZ, etc...)


it can be set on the command line as well:
cpack -D CPACK_ARCHIVE_COMPONENT_INSTALL=1 -G ZIP

Waiting feedback,
But this is probably not a bug.

I wasn't aware of the previous behavior. With your instructions it works as expected, so I think this is not a bug and can be closed.

Thanks a lot for the very prompt response.

This was not a bug,
"just" a lack of documentation.
