Hi,
There's been some discussion on http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=11126
and I raised the issue about the BundleUtilities port to Windows/Linux: the
naming is so bad as to make this (pretty cool) feature completely
undiscoverable.
I assumed, as I'd think others would, that this would be somehow related to
creating .app bundle clones on Linux or Windows, not fixing up the dependencies
and installing them. I'd argue that anything relating to the latter really
belongs in GetPrerequisites and should be named differently.
For backwards compatibility purposes, obviously the current naming will still
need to work but is it possible to get some of this functionality documented
and described in a better location?
Secondly, I'd like to propose a function like "install_prerequisites" which
would create all the INSTALL(CODE) stuff for you and call the various needed
functions, just to make it easier for people to be able to use
bundleutilities/getprerequisites without having to fight with INSTALL(CODE or
SCRIPT) problems.
Thirdly, I often want to install prerequisites or other files into the packages
generated by CPack but not when using make install. It would be good if
INSTALL(CODE) or other functions could have an argument to do basically this:
IF( \${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX} MATCHES .*/_CPack_Packages/.* )
<<<Stuff passed to INSTALL(CODE) in here>>>
ENDIF( \${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX} MATCHES .*/_CPack_Packages/.* )
I'm happy to help or develop these features, if they'd be accepted. It was
suggested that both would require Kitware buy-in before I should start working
on them.
Thanks!
