+Here is what to do to make binary packages using CMake.
-Build LyX on your target system ad build the package with cpack:
-cpack -G <generator> --config CPackConfig.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
-Choose <generator> dependent on your system:
-DEB, RPM, TGZ, NSIS, and others
+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
