Folks:
I've been experimenting with using GET_PREREQUISITES() to automatically
generate packages that contain third-party dependencies, and I'm curious
to hear about other people's experiences. The main challenge seems to
be that you need to run GET_PREREQUISITES() at install-time, i.e. after
your binaries are built. In the following example, I generate a script
that contains the path to my built binary, then run the script at
install-time using INSTALL(SCRIPT ...) It all works great, but I had to
use FILE(INSTALL ...) which isn't documented anywhere (I noticed it in
the cmake_install.cmake files generated by CMake) in my install-time
script. Is this supported? Is there some better way to do it?
Cheers,
Tim
