CPack productbuild Generator
----------------------------
.. versionadded:: 3.7
productbuild CPack generator (macOS).
Variables specific to CPack productbuild generator
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The following variable is specific to installers built on Mac
macOS using ProductBuild:
.. variable:: CPACK_COMMAND_PRODUCTBUILD
Path to the ``productbuild(1)`` command used to generate a product archive for
the macOS Installer or Mac App Store. This variable can be used to override
the automatically detected command (or specify its location if the
auto-detection fails to find it).
.. variable:: CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_IDENTIFIER
.. versionadded:: 3.23
Set the unique (non-localized) product identifier to be associated with the
product (i.e., ``com.kitware.cmake``). Any component product names will be
appended to this value.
.. variable:: CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_IDENTITY_NAME
.. versionadded:: 3.8
Adds a digital signature to the resulting package.
.. variable:: CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_KEYCHAIN_PATH
.. versionadded:: 3.8
Specify a specific keychain to search for the signing identity.
.. variable:: CPACK_COMMAND_PKGBUILD
Path to the ``pkgbuild(1)`` command used to generate an macOS component package
on macOS. This variable can be used to override the automatically detected
command (or specify its location if the auto-detection fails to find it).
.. variable:: CPACK_PKGBUILD_IDENTITY_NAME
.. versionadded:: 3.8
Adds a digital signature to the resulting package.
.. variable:: CPACK_PKGBUILD_KEYCHAIN_PATH
.. versionadded:: 3.8
Specify a specific keychain to search for the signing identity.
.. variable:: CPACK_PREFLIGHT_<COMP>_SCRIPT
Full path to a file that will be used as the ``preinstall`` script for the
named ``<COMP>`` component's package, where ``<COMP>`` is the uppercased
component name. No ``preinstall`` script is added if this variable is not
defined for a given component.
.. variable:: CPACK_POSTFLIGHT_<COMP>_SCRIPT
Full path to a file that will be used as the ``postinstall`` script for the
named ``<COMP>`` component's package, where ``<COMP>`` is the uppercased
component name. No ``postinstall`` script is added if this variable is not
defined for a given component.
.. variable:: CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_RESOURCES_DIR
.. versionadded:: 3.9
If specified the productbuild generator copies files from this directory
(including subdirectories) to the ``Resources`` directory. This is done
before the :variable:`CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_WELCOME`,
:variable:`CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_README`, and
:variable:`CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_LICENSE` files are copied.
.. variable:: CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_DOMAINS
.. versionadded:: 3.23
This option enables more granular control over where the product may be
installed. When it is set to true, a ``domains`` element of the following
form will be added to the productbuild Distribution XML:
.. code-block:: xml
<domains enable_anywhere="true" enable_currentUserHome="false" enable_localSystem="true"/>
The default values are as shown above, but can be overridden with
:variable:`CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_DOMAINS_ANYWHERE`,
:variable:`CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_DOMAINS_USER`, and
:variable:`CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_DOMAINS_ROOT`.
.. variable:: CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_DOMAINS_ANYWHERE
.. versionadded:: 3.23
May be used to override the ``enable_anywhere`` attribute in the ``domains``
element of the Distribution XML. When set to true, the product can be
installed at the root of any volume, including non-system volumes.
:variable:`CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_DOMAINS` must be set to true for this variable
to have any effect.
.. variable:: CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_DOMAINS_USER
.. versionadded:: 3.23
May be used to override the ``enable_currentUserHome`` attribute in the
``domains`` element of the Distribution XML. When set to true, the product
can be installed into the current user's home directory. Note that when
installing into the user's home directory, the following additional
requirements will apply:
* The installer may not write outside the user's home directory.
* The install will be performed as the current user rather than as ``root``.
This may have ramifications for :variable:`CPACK_PREFLIGHT_<COMP>_SCRIPT`
and :variable:`CPACK_POSTFLIGHT_<COMP>_SCRIPT`.
* Administrative privileges will not be needed to perform the install.
:variable:`CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_DOMAINS` must be set to true for this variable
to have any effect.
.. variable:: CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_DOMAINS_ROOT
.. versionadded:: 3.23
May be used to override the ``enable_localSystem`` attribute in the
``domains`` element of the Distribution XML. When set to true, the product
can be installed in the root directory. This should normally be set to true
unless the product should only be installed to the user's home directory.
:variable:`CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_DOMAINS` must be set to true for this variable
to have any effect.
Background Image
""""""""""""""""
.. versionadded:: 3.17
This group of variables controls the background image of the generated
installer.
.. variable:: CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_BACKGROUND
Adds a background to Distribution XML if specified. The value contains the
path to image in ``Resources`` directory.
.. variable:: CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_BACKGROUND_ALIGNMENT
Adds an ``alignment`` attribute to the background in Distribution XML.
Refer to Apple documentation for valid values.
.. variable:: CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_BACKGROUND_SCALING
Adds a ``scaling`` attribute to the background in Distribution XML.
Refer to Apple documentation for valid values.
.. variable:: CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_BACKGROUND_MIME_TYPE
Adds a ``mime-type`` attribute to the background in Distribution XML.
The option contains MIME type of an image.
.. variable:: CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_BACKGROUND_UTI
Adds an ``uti`` attribute to the background in Distribution XML.
The option contains UTI type of an image.
.. variable:: CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_BACKGROUND_DARKAQUA
Adds a background for the Dark Aqua theme to Distribution XML if
specified. The value contains the path to image in ``Resources``
directory.
.. variable:: CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_BACKGROUND_DARKAQUA_ALIGNMENT
Does the same as :variable:`CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_BACKGROUND_ALIGNMENT` option,
but for the dark theme.
.. variable:: CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_BACKGROUND_DARKAQUA_SCALING
Does the same as :variable:`CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_BACKGROUND_SCALING` option,
but for the dark theme.
.. variable:: CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_BACKGROUND_DARKAQUA_MIME_TYPE
Does the same as :variable:`CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_BACKGROUND_MIME_TYPE` option,
but for the dark theme.
.. variable:: CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_BACKGROUND_DARKAQUA_UTI
Does the same as :variable:`CPACK_PRODUCTBUILD_BACKGROUND_UTI` option,
but for the dark theme.
Distribution XML Template
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
CPack uses a template file to generate the ``distribution.dist`` file used
internally by this package generator. Ordinarily, CMake provides the template
file, but projects may supply their own by placing a file called
``CPack.distribution.dist.in`` in one of the directories listed in the
:variable:`CMAKE_MODULE_PATH` variable. CPack will then pick up the project's
template file instead of using its own.
The ``distribution.dist`` file is generated by performing substitutions
similar to the :command:`configure_file` command. Any variable set when
CPack runs will be available for substitution using the usual ``@...@``
form. The following variables are also set internally and made available for
substitution:
``CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_LICENSE_NOPATH``
Same as :variable:`CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_LICENSE` except without the path.
The named file will be available in the same directory as the generated
``distribution.dist`` file.
``CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_README_NOPATH``
Same as :variable:`CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_README` except without the path.
The named file will be available in the same directory as the generated
``distribution.dist`` file.
``CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_WELCOME_NOPATH``
Same as :variable:`CPACK_RESOURCE_FILE_WELCOME` except without the path.
The named file will be available in the same directory as the generated
``distribution.dist`` file.
``CPACK_APPLE_PKG_INSTALLER_CONTENT``
.. versionadded:: 3.23
This contains all the XML elements that specify installer-wide options
(including domain details), default backgrounds and the choices outline.
``CPACK_PACKAGEMAKER_CHOICES``
.. deprecated:: 3.23
This contains only the XML elements that specify the default backgrounds
and the choices outline. It does not include the installer-wide options or
any domain details. Use ``CPACK_APPLE_PKG_INSTALLER_CONTENT`` instead.
