Summary0013412: [regression] cpack silently fails to build debian
Descriptioncpack silently fails:

    imMute@blah$ cpack --config blah.cmake
    CPack: Create package using DEB
    CPack: Install projects
    CPack: - Run preinstall target for: ALL
    CPack: - Install project: ALL
    CPack: Create package
    imMute@blah$

--debug --verbose brings a little more useful information:

    imMute@blah$ cpack --config blah.cmake
    /tmp/cmake-2.8.9-rc2/Source/CPack/cmCPackGenerator.cxx:1048 Done install project

    /tmp/cmake-2.8.9-rc2/Source/CPack/cmCPackGenerator.cxx:1203 Warning, GetOption return NULL for: CPACK_INCLUDE_TOPLEVEL_DIRECTORY
    CPack Verbose: /tmp/cmake-2.8.9-rc2/Source/CPack/cmCPackGenerator.cxx:1110 Copying final package(s) [0]:

Looking at cmCPackGenerator.cxx around those lines, it appears tempPackageFileName is set by line 1017 (it's seen in the output rather than "(NULL)") but on line 1055 it appears packageFileNames is empty (or at least .size() returns zero).
packageFileNames is modified on line 1040:
    packageFileNames.push_back(tempPackageFileName);

I'll have a look at this this week-end (I won't have time before that).

Would it be possible to have more informations:
 
- Do other CPack generators fails as well (RPM, TGZ, ZIP ???)
  on the very same project if they don't do they produce
  package with the expected content ?

- What does
  make DESTDIR=/tmp/bb install
  do ?
  Does this install something or not?

- Does the packaging work with
  CPACK_DEB_COMPONENT_INSTALL set to OFF?

- Is this a cross-packaging or native packaging?
  I.e. is "armel" the architecture of the host and targt system?

- Worked with 2.8.4 on Ubuntu 12.04? Or on previous version of Ubuntu?

- Is it possible to have stripped down sample project that exhibit
  the problem or does the concerned project have public source accessibility?

Did not attempt.

When should I run this command? As I said in the original report, the problem seems to be with cpack...

> Does the packaging work with

I added `SET(CPACK_DEB_COMPONENT_INSTALL "OFF")` to the generated blah.cmake, and that seemed to make it work

> Is this a cross-packaging or native packaging?

It's for a cross-compiled application.

It works with cpack 2.8.4 on Ubuntu 10.04 I have not tried cpack 2.8.4 on Ubuntu 12.04, but I could try that if I have time this week.

It's a closed source project, so I can't share the original cmake project, sorry.

-----

So it seems that CPACK_DEB_COMPONENT_INSTALL was the culprit.

In the build tree instead of running cpack.

CPack is using the same kind of command "internally"
so I was trying to get more information from this one.

Cross-packaging is not supported by CPack,
it may incidentally work but be prepared for weird behavior.
By the way what is the host and what is the target?

Do you use some embbeded toolkit for compiling/building?

> So it seems that CPACK_DEB_COMPONENT_INSTALL was the culprit.

There may be a bug in the "componentize" packaging for deb.
But without a test case it will be difficult to find out.

Did you face similar issue with non-cross-compiled package content?

Waiting for feedback before trying to go further.

If the error is "only" appear when cross-packaging then
this will have to wait until "plain" package have their
bug/feature requests planned for 2.8.10 fixed.
