Here is what to do to make binary packages using CMake.
The string "_SRC_DIR_" represents the cmake-lyx-build-directory, e.g. /usr/src/lyx/lyx-devel.
The string "_BUILD_DIR_" represents the cmake-lyx-build-directory, e.g. /usr/BUILD/BuildLyx.
The string "_PKG_NAME_" represents the name of the package, like "lyx-2.1.38687-Linux" on my Linux-system
Using cmake-gui:
cd _BUILD_DIR_; cmake-gui _SRC_DIR_
select: Show Advanced Entries
Search: CPACK
Now select the package-type(s) you would like to be build
select: Configure
Likewise you may call cmake directly. E.g. to create debian package
cd _BUILD_DIR_; cmake _SRC_DIR_ -DCPACK_BINARY_DEB:BOOL=ON
The generators (dependent on your system) are
DEB, RPM, TGZ, NSIS, STGZ, TBZ2, TZ
Now it is possible to create the package
cd _BUILD_DIR_; make package
#The created packages will be something like
#_PKG_NAME_.tar.gz
#_PKG_NAME_.zip
#...
In archives for TGZ, STGZ, TBZ2 or TZ the filenames are prepended with the package-name,
therefore we have to get rid of it (e.g. for STGZ the parameter "--exclude-subdir").
Some installation proceedings:
STGZ: sudo _PKG_NAME_.sh --exclude-subdir
TGZ: sudo tar -zxv --strip-components 1 --directory / -f _PKG_NAME_.tar.gz
DEB: sudo dpkg -i _PKG_NAME_.deb
RPM: sudo rpm -U --force _PKG_NAME_.rpm
