Question

install (TARGETS ${PROJECT_NAME}_shared DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/lib 
    COMPONENT runtime)
install (TARGETS ${PROJECT_NAME}_static DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/lib 
    COMPONENT development)
install (FILES ${INCLUDES} DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/include
    COMPONENT development)

...
set (CPACK_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME 
    "lib${CPACK_PACKAGE_NAME}_${CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION}_${CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_ARCHITECTURE}")

I have 2 deb packages as a result:

libmpreal_0.1.1-1_amd64-development.deb
libmpreal_0.1.1-1_amd64-runtime.deb

But I want to have for debian standarts another names:

libmpreal-dev_0.1.1-1_amd64.deb
libmpreal_0.1.1-1_amd64.deb

Now I am reading this at the method cmCPackDebGenerator::PackageOnePack
here is a code:

outputFileName(
    std::string(this->GetOption("CPACK_PACKAGE_FILE_NAME")) 
    + "-" + packageName + this->GetOutputExtension()
);

Does this mean that I cant specify a name for my packages?! I would like to make a mistake..

Answer 1

The naming scheme for CPack generated package is not flexible enough to do what
you want, there is a pending bug/feature request for that, bug 12997,
along with a bunch of related bug report.

Short answer is: you can’t do what you want now.
