Not really, you may decide run MacOSXBundle CPack generator outside CMakeLists.txt i.e. at CPack time and not at CMake time: cpack -G OSXX11 I don't know much about this CPack generator but from my point of view the generator itself should check whether if the executable have been built properly and warn/error out with appropriate message if not. -- Erk Le gouvernement représentatif n'est pas la démocratie -- http://www.le-message.org -- Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cmake-developers
