CMakeInstallExample

Installation example for a C++ project (Windows) with Cmake.

Contents

This project demonstrates how to use cmake with cpack to generate an installer that can be used to redistribute software/libraries. See my blog for the full write up.

Requirements

To build this project you will need:

• A relatively recent C++ compiler
• CMake 3.14+
• NSIS 3.0.0+

Building

Configure and build using CMake and your favorite build tools. I've tested using Visual Studio Community Edition 2019

cmake -B build

To build an installer simply run:

cmake --build ./build --config Release --target package
