Well you need to follow the "OS X" path through the cmake files.
Basically a shell script and another cmake file are going to be
created. The shell script does a few things then calls cmake directly
with the generated cmake file as input. Inside that cmake file will be
all the code the "fixes up" the OS X bundle by adjusting all the
non-system libraries that your application links to.
You can use the "otool" command line program to find all the
dependencies that a library has:
572:[mjack...@shepard:hdf5-169]$ otool -L hdf5/lib/libhdf5.dylib
hdf5/lib/libhdf5.dylib:
/Users/mjackson/Desktop/hdf5-169/hdf5/lib/libhdf5.0.dylib
(compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)
/usr/lib/libz.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version
1.2.3)
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
version 111.1.4)
/usr/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version
1.0.0)
What specifically do you need help with and maybe I can help you
change the file to suit your needs.
Mike
