So... I have been working on my 'Holy Grail' CMakeLists.txt that builds all prerequisites to my application as ExternalProjects, and then builds my application (also as an External Project).
In getting it to work on OS X and Linux I ran into an issue: If you build Tcl, and install it, it installs the shared libraries for Tcl read-only. So, if I try and use fixup_bundle (from BundleUtilities) to make a standalone build with all shared libraries it fails: -- 82/204: copying '/scratch/kent/newbuild/BT-build/lib/libtk8.5.so' CMake Error at /opt/cmake-2.9.20100421/share/cmake-2.9/Modules/BundleUtilities.cmake:431 (file): file RPATH_REMOVE could not remove RPATH from file: /scratch/kent/newbuild/BT-build/bin/libtk8.5.so Error opening file for update. Call Stack (most recent call first): /opt/cmake-2.9.20100421/share/cmake-2.9/Modules/BundleUtilities.cmake:531 (copy_resolved_item_into_bundle) cmake_install.cmake:54 (fixup_bundle) So my thought was 'brilliant! I'll add a step to the ExternalProject!' -- but it isn't clear to me if ExternalProject_Add_Step is actually set up to modify an External Project, or if you're supposed to use ExternalProject_Add_Step commands to swizzle up your own custom External Project. More specifically If I have ExternalProjectAdd(xyz ... ) ExternalProject_Add_Step(xyz fix_permissions ... ) I don't know what to put for DEPENDEES to get fix_permissions to run AFTER the install. Any ideas? _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
