Is get_prerequisites() supposed to return absolute paths all the time?
For example, on the Mac, I've got some frameworks in /Library/Frameworks
that I may want to copy if they might not exist on other Macs. When I
call get_prerequisites(), getting "foo.framwork/" instead of
"/Library/Frameworks/foo.framework/"

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

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. Should it be documented?
But these files I'm getting back are soft links to the real
library. And the file(INSTALL ... ) just puts a softlink in my
installation directory instead of a real library.
Is there some higher level cmake function I should be calling to
install libraries on Unix/Linux, similar to how there is
BundleUtilties.cmake for Mac? Or ideally, is there one function I
can use on all platforms to install some prerequisites?
Thanks,
Clint
