Hi there,
We’re looking to update our CMake packaging scripts so that we can deploy to
OSX 10.9 Mavericks. For previous OSX releases, we have used the PackageMaker
generator with CPack to create .pkg files inside .dmg files. I believe
PackageMaker has now disappeared (I can’t run the old version on my current
machine and there doesn’t seem to be a new version available anywhere), so I
would like to ask you all: what is the preferred generator for deploying to OSX
10.9?
I’m currently looking into the OSX Bundle generator, however, our application
ships with multiple executables and a number of dependent libraries and
frameworks, so I’m not quite sure whether this is the right way to go. From
what I’ve read, OSX application bundles are supposed to have a single
executable only – how would I go about deploying an application that has
multiple component applications? If we use the bundle generator, our
application is going to look like this (I think), which seems strange:
OurApplication.app/
Contents/
Info.plist
MacOS/
executable1
Frameworks/
QtCore.framework
QtGui.framework
…
Resources/
bin/
executable1
executable2
…
lib/
non-framework dependencies
Thanks for your help,
Lachlan Hetherton
