Summary:                    MACOSX_BUNDLE path problem when
Description: 
(Copied from backlogged issue submitted by Duron
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=12451):

I'm not sure if building for iOS is officially supported, but here goes...

When building for iOS with MACOSX_BUNDLE specified on the target, this generates
an XCODE_DEPEND_HELPER.make with Foo.app/Contents/MacOS/foo paths in it. However
for iOS builds, Xcode places the executable 'foo' in Foo.app/foo.

I couldn't find an option to change this behavior.


The result is that dependency checking does not work and a clean build is
required every time the app is compiled.

End of original message

----

This bug is very annoying: you always have to change something each time in a
main target to force full project relink when developing a depend library.

See proposed patch below. It introduces MACOSX_BUNDLE_BUILD_FOR_IOS property
which will allow to remove "Contents/MacOS" from output paths when building for
iOS. The patch is fully working - tried successfully on our big project.


Steps to Reproduce: 
Set up an iOS project by setting CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT, CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES and
MACOSX_BUNDLE_GUI_IDENTIFIER. Specify MACOSX_BUNDLE for the target executable.
Make a change in a dependency and rebuild the app. The app will not be updated.
