-README.CPack.txt - Building Binary Packages with CPack
--------------------------------------------------------
-
-Intended Audience
------------------
-
-"Packagers" (maintainers) of Linux distributions or users who want to
-deploy FLTK binary packages on multiple systems, e.g. companies using
-FLTK for their software development.
-
-
-Introduction
-------------
-
-In previous FLTK versions binary packages could be created using EPM
-(an external tool) or `rpmbuild` on Linux. Both tools used files no
-longer provided by FLTK: 'fltk.list' (EPM) and 'fltk.spec' (RPM).
-
-FLTK 1.5 and later supports CPack to create binary "packages". The new
-approach using CPack is more flexible and supports many more package
-formats. CPack is usually installed together with CMake.
-
-CPack support is still experimental and may be improved in the future.
-The documentation below may be enhanced later if required.
-
-
-How To Build Binary Packages
-----------------------------
-
-On some platforms and with some "generators" CMake creates the target
-'package' so you can execute e.g. `make package` after building FLTK.
-This creates the default set of packages for the given platform.
-
-On other platforms, or to use more flexible options, `cpack` may be run
-from the commandline after building FLTK to generate a particular package
-format. For details please refer to the CMake and CPack documentation.
-
-
-Example Commands On Linux Using Ninja
--------------------------------------
-
-1. Build the FLTK library:
-
-$ cd /path-to-fltk
-$ cmake -G Ninja -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -B build
-$ cmake --build build
-
-2. Create one or more binary packages:
-
-$ cmake --build build --target package
-
-... or ...
-
-$ cd build
-$ ninja package # or `make package` if you're using Makefiles
-
-... or to build (only) the RPM package:
-
-$ cpack -G RPM
-
-... or to build a .tar.gz package:
-
-$ cpack -G TGZ
-
-See `cpack --help` for possible package formats ("Generators").
-
-Note: you need to install the package format specific tools on your system
-to create some package formats, e.g. `rpmbuild` for RPM packages.
-
-
-Further Reading
----------------
-
-More information on this topic can be found in the CMake and CPack
-documentation or by executing `cpack --help`.
