I need to create installer for a product for Mac OS X using CPack with PackageMaker as the generator. I have done some small work, but I have many things that I want to find out.
set(CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME "MyApp")
set(CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION "${CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION}")
set(CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX /Applications)
set(CPACK_PACKAGING_INSTALL_PREFIX ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX})
set(CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_README "${PACKAGE_BINARY_DIR}/Readme.txt")
set(CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_LICENSE "${PACKAGE_BINARY_DIR}/EULA.txt")
set(CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_WELCOME "${PACKAGE_BINARY_DIR}/Welcome.txt")
set(CPACK_GENERATOR PackageMaker)
install(DIRECTORY ${PACKAGE_BINARY_DIR}/my_app.app DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/)
install(PROGRAMS ${PACKAGE_BINARY_DIR}/other_executable DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/my_app.app/Contents/MacOS/)
install(FILES ${PACKAGE_BINARY_DIR}/com.my_app.my_app_daemon.plist DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/Resources)
Can you explain how to:
- How to add custom icon to my application (the one when you open Applications directory)?
- How to add a custom background to the visual installer?
- How to properly use the flags for post installer scripts so that the scripts will be working?
- What is the best way to add "other_executable" to my application?
- Am I using the proper way to install my_app.app?
- How to add shortcut (or whatever else is used, of my application to the Dock)?
