I'd like to just turn the bundle application off, and make a regular unix
app, even on the mac. Any ideas how to do this? I tried setting -D
MACOSX_BUNDLE=OFF in the cmake configuration script, but it still installed
everything into /Applications. Here's my config script:
cmake \
-D CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$PREFIX \
-D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$PREFIX \
-D EIGEN3_INCLUDE_DIR=$PREFIX/include/eigen3 \
-D USE_SYSTEM_YAEHMOP=ON \
-D MACOSX_BUNDLE=OFF \
..
Here $PREFIX is defined as my CONDA_PREFIX directory, e.g.
~/miniconda2/envs/dev, and I was hoping the executable would end up there,
like it does on linux. Instead, some file named 'avopkg' and 'qube' are in
the /Applications/Avogadro.app/Contents/bin folder.
