I am using CMake/CPack for my project. On Windows, I use CPack with NSIS, and it's all good. But for Linux, I use the DEB generator for CPack, and I have run into a few issues. Namely, I cannot find a proper way to add an icon in the menu of Gnome/KDE/etc. I know that I can create app.desktop file, and put it in /usr/share/applications. But is there some other (recommended) way of doing it with CPack?
How to create desktop icons for a deb package created with CPack?
