So I would love to see a corollary to BundleUtilities.cmake for Mac on Windows and Linux, too. Using GetPrerequisites to gather the set of dependent files is obviously the first step.
Then, on Windows, a function that installs all the dependent dlls to the same location as the executable would be awesome. On Linux, I guess you would have to make sure everything you depend on is either already installed in its install path, or aware of your install path, or uses LD_LIBRARY_PATH -- the issues here are the ones I am least familiar with (compared to Windows and Mac anyhow). I don't think this should ever be fully automated because of licensing and coyright issues. Technically, it is easy to gather the set of required files to make something work on a practical level. The issue will be: "hey, you're not allowed to copy *that* dll" because of such and such non-technical reason... Having said all this, and that I would love to see it, I must admit: it is not presently on the radar for any CMake developers as far as I know. So, as always: patches welcome. :-) HTH, David On Fri, Jul 17, 2009 at 3:05 PM, Clinton Stimpson <[email protected]>wrote: > So I'm using GetPrequisites.cmake to gather dependencies. > Are there any examples, tips, etc.. for using this? > > With the results I'm getting back, I do a > file(INSTALL ... ) because that's what I see in the cmake_installcmake > file.
