Summary0014885: Linking to frameworks in Xcode generator is buggy
DescriptionWhen using the Xcode generator, even though CMake can properly find all frameworks, the building process will fail with 'framework not found' errors. In a discussion in the CMake mailing list, someone suggested that this happens because Apple no longer looks in /Library/Frameworks and ~/Library/Frameworks by default.
Steps To ReproduceUnzip the attached archive, you will see the following tree:

cmake_bug/
| CMakeLists.txt
| dummy.c
| FindSDL2.cmake

Download http://libsdl.org/release/SDL2-2.0.3.dmg [^] and install SDL2.framework in
/Library/Frameworks or ~/Library/Frameworks.

Run CMake and choose the Xcode generator. You should see this in the cache:

> SDL2_LIBRARY /Library/Frameworks/SDL2.framework

Hit generate and open the Xcode project. Building will fail with 'SDL2: framework not found'.

I can provide more information if needed.

Additional Information* A quick workaround is to link directly to the actual SDL2 dylib, but this is not a fix.

> SDL2_LIBRARY /Library/Frameworks/SDL2.framework/SDL2

* I haven't tested other frameworks other than SDL2 because I don't own a Mac, this has been reported by my users, but I was able to reproduce it in my friend's Macbook.

* This does not happen if I choose the makefile generator.

 The example works for me with CMake 3.0.0-rc3. Please test it:

 You mean that you don't get any errors when building the project?

Unfortunately, I can't test it right now because I won't have access to a Mac for the next few days.

Would it be rude to ask you to test again with CMake 2.8.12.2? Because the issue is probably solved with CMake 3 if I understood correctly your comment.

 Re 0014885:0035760: Actually it works for me with 2.8.12.2 also.

The link line contains "-F/Users/<username>/Library/Frameworks", the location of the SDL2 framework.

I'm using Xcode 5.0.2 on OS X 10.9.

 Well, I had SDL2.framework in /Library/Frameworks and not in ~/Library/Frameworks.
I don't think that's the problem though.

I will try once again when I the chance and get back with the results.

btw, I've also got Xcode 5.0.2 on 10.9
