CMake:Bundles And Frameworks
From KitwarePublic
Issue
(In all examples, the applications are named appl1, appl2, ..., libraries are named libr1, libr2, ..., header files are named appl1_header1, appl2_header2, libr1_header1, ..., and there are auxilary files associated with application and library appl1_aux1, appl2_aux2, libr1_aux1, .... and some resource files associated with application and library appl1_res1, appl2_res2, libr1_res1, .... All versions are ver1, ver2, ...)
On Mac there are several different cases of combinations of bundles, frameworks, and unix tools.
The problem is that CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is not enough. Also, when creating bundles and frameworks, auxilary files should be in the proper subdirectory structure.
Cases
Unix tools only
- No issues (just like any other unix)
Bundle only
- Everything in a same directory:
/Applications/
appl1.app/
Contents/
Info.plist
MacOS/
appl1 -> appl1-1
appl1-1
appl1_aux1
appl1_aux2
Resources/
appl1_res1
appl1_res2
Framework only
- Everything in a same directory:
/Library/
Frameworks/
libr1.framework/
libr1 -> Versions/Current/libr1
Resources -> Versions/Current/Resources
Versions/
Current -> ver2
ver2/
libr1
Resources/
Info.plist
version.plist
Bundle + Framework
- Bundle stuff in one directory, framework stuff in another one
/Applications/
appl1.app/
Contents/
Info.plist
MacOS/
appl1 -> appl1-ver1
appl1-ver2
appl1_aux1
appl1_aux2
Resources/
appl1_res1
appl1_res2
/Library/
Frameworks/
libr1.framework/
libr1 -> Versions/Current/libr1
Resources -> Versions/Current/Resources
Versions/
Current -> ver2
ver2/
libr1
Resources/
Info.plist
version.plist
Bundle + Unix tools
- Bundle stuff in one directory, unix tools in typical unix location
/Applications/
