How do you produce a .deb file for ubuntu from the CMake source code?
I already installed (hopefully most of) the build dependencies using apt:
sudo apt-get build-dep cmake
checked out the cmake repo using git:
git clone http://www.cmake.org/cmake.git
built cmake using the older cmake I already have:
cd cmake cmake . make
what next? This is surprisingly hard to google for; most people want to know how to package their own stuff ~with cmake. The CMake install instructions just specify a make install but dependency hell is bad enough ~with a package manager in my experience.
After building cmake, use cpack for generate deb package:
cpack -G DEB
It should be run from the build tree.
