| 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:
| |
| | |
| <pre>
| |
| /Applications/
| |
| appl1.app/
| |
| Contents/
| |
| Info.plist
| |
| MacOS/
| |
| appl1 -> appl1-1
| |
| appl1-1
| |
| appl1_aux1
| |
| appl1_aux2
| |
| Resources/
| |
| appl1_res1
| |
| appl1_res2
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| * Suggested api:
| |
| | |
| <pre>
| |
| ADD_EXECUTABLE(
| |
| appl1
| |
| MACOSX_BUNDLE
| |
| appl1_src1.cxx

| I like the suggested api. One thing to keep in mind, however, is that some of the file system entities Mac programmers perceive as files are actually bundles themselves... For example, the resource files produced by Interface Builder (the *.nib "files") are actually bundles/directories themselves. As a Mac programmer, I think of the *.nib "file" as just another source file... In reality it's a directory with contents, which is supposed to be recursively copied into the correct location of the target bundle at build time. I would expect to be able to add either ''a file or a directory'' as a MACOSX_BUNDLE_CONTENT element in the ADD_EXECUTABLE/ADD_LIBRARY commands. If it's a file it gets copied into the target bundle at the specified location. If it's a directory, same thing, but recursively. This is '''mandatory''' in my opinion because Apple could decide to add, remove or completely reorganize elements within the *.nib file format with their next version of Xcode. I definitely don't want to mirror the hierarchical structure of a *.nib file in my CMakeLists.txt files. I also definitely don't want to be forced into using FILE(GLOB_RECURSE ...) in order to do things on a file by file basis. As a Mac programmer, I don't necessarily know whether one of these things is a file or directory - I can't tell CMake what I don't know, so CMake should definitely be able to handle either. CMake needs to support copying directories verbatim as bundle elements to make this feature worthwhile.
