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`. - - -Links: To Documentation ------------------------ - -https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/index.html -https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake.1.html -https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cpack.1.html |
