CPackSummary

Description:

The purpose of CPack is to enable cross-platform packaging and distribution of software. Packaging software across multiple platforms has been a difficult, error prone and time consuming process. CPack is an adjunct component of CMake that addresses this issue. It uses the concept of generators from CMake, where a generator abstracts the platform specific packaging issues. It then produces native package distributions such as RPMs (Linux) and Windows installers. These distributions can then be directly disseminated to the NAMIC community.
