Description

The UseDebian CMake module simplifies the Debian package generation using both CPack and CMake. It has been done because CPack does not have an deb generator. This CMake macro can be used anywhere ar is available (no debian specific tool are required).

Usage

The usage is simple:

• put the macro file "UseDebian.cmake" in your CMAKE_MODULE_PATH, as well as FindMd5sum.cmake (until cmake -E can do md5sum ref).
• Then add something like this to your CMakeLists.txt

IF(EXISTS "${CMAKE_ROOT}/Modules/CPack.cmake")
  SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_SUMMARY "Grass Root DiCoM")
  SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_VENDOR "gdcm")
  SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MAJOR "${GDCM_VERSION_MAJOR}")
  SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MINOR "${GDCM_VERSION_MINOR}")
  SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_PATCH "${GDCM_VERSION_BUILD}")
  SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY "gdcm ${CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MAJOR}.${CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MINOR}")
  SET(CPACK_SOURCE_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME "gdcm-${CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MAJOR}.${CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_MINOR}.${CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_PATCH}")
  # List executables
  INCLUDE(CPack)
ENDIF(EXISTS "${CMAKE_ROOT}/Modules/CPack.cmake")

INCLUDE(UseDebian)
IF(DEBIAN_FOUND)
 ADD_DEBIAN_TARGETS(GDCM)
ENDIF(DEBIAN_FOUND)

This CMake macro was inspired from UseRPMTools.

Debian

To inspect your deb file:

$ dpkg-deb -c gdcm_1.2.0-1_i386.deb 

$ dpkg-deb -f gdcm_1.2.0-1_i386.deb

tar: Read 8192 bytes from -
Package: gdcm
Version: 1.2.0
Section: devel
Priority: optional
Architecture: i386
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.1-6), libgcc1 (>= 1:3.4.2-12)
Maintainer:

 gdcm was packaged by UseDebian and CMake.

Errors

If you are getting a:

"CMake Error: Md5sum_DIR is not set.  It must be set to the directory containing Md5sumConfig.cmake in order to use Md5sum."

This is mostly beause you did:

include(../CMake/UseDebian.cmake)

instead of setting the CMAKE_MODULE_PATH. Indeed the UseDebian.cmake rely on another cmake script: FindMd5sum.cmake which need to be found by cmake !
