[cmake-developers] [CMake] BundleUtilities and @rpath

[Clinton Stimpson]

Jc,

I thought I'd share a script I've made as a replacement for BundleUtilities.

It is designed ground up with rpaths in mind, whereas BundleUtilities was 
designed with @executable_path as the basis.  This also fits with Windows where 
there are no rpaths, but there is a limited set of implicit loader paths 
relative to binaries.  The caller can also pass in additional paths if 
additional paths will exist at runtime via LD_LIBRARY_PATH, PATH, rpaths 
across dlopen(), etc... that the binaries themselves are not aware of.
It also supports any layout you want instead of only a Bundle layout, or a 
layout where shared libraries exist next to the main executable.  For example, 
on Mac/Linux there is the typical bin/ and lib/ separation.

Of course, this needs polishing before it can be considered for addition to 
CMake.
