[cmake-developers] Create subdirectories in Resource directory for Frameworks and Application bundle.

[Bartosz Kosiorek]

Thanks Clint

Unfortunately MACOSX_PACKAGE_LOCATION is not working correctly with RESOURCE property.
For every resource which is marked as RESOURCE, will be placed in root "Resources" directory.

The CMake code below create following directory structure for OS X:

── mul.framework
    ├── Headers -> Versions/Current/Headers
    ├── Resources -> Versions/Current/Resources
    ├── Versions
    │   ├── A
    │   │   ├── Headers
    │   │   │   └── mul.h
    │   │   ├── Modules
    │   │   │   └── module.modulemap
    │   │   ├── Resources
    │   │   │   ├── Info.plist
    │   │   │   ├── mulres.txt
    │   │   │   ├── pl.txt
    │   │   │   └── resourcefile.txt
    │   │   ├── lang
    │   │   │   └── en.txt
    │   │   └── mul
    │   └── Current -> A
    └── mul -> Versions/Current/mul


As you can see eveything which is marked as "RESOURCE" will be placed in Versions/A/ directory
My expectation will be that lang/pl.txt and lang/en.txt should be in Resources/lang/ directory.
Here is complete directory structure:

── mul.framework
    ├── Headers -> Versions/Current/Headers
    ├── Resources -> Versions/Current/Resources
    ├── Versions
    │   ├── A
    │   │   ├── Headers
    │   │   │   └── mul.h
    │   │   ├── Modules
    │   │   │   └── module.modulemap
    │   │   ├── Resources
    │   │   │   ├── Info.plist
    │   │   │   ├── mulres.txt
    │   │   │   ├── lang
    │   │   │   │   └── pl.txt
    │   │   │   │   └── en.txt
    │   │   │   └── resourcefile.txt
    │   │   ├── lang
    │   │   │   └── en.txt
    │   │   └── mul
    │   └── Current -> A
    └── mul -> Versions/Current/mul


What do you think about that?

Here is the source code:

set_property(SOURCE module.modulemap
  PROPERTY MACOSX_PACKAGE_LOCATION "Modules")

set_property(
  SOURCE lang/en.txt lang/pl.txt
  PROPERTY MACOSX_PACKAGE_LOCATION "lang")

set(RESLIST 
    mulres.txt
    lang/pl.txt
    resourcefile.txt
    )

add_library(mul SHARED 
            mul.c
            mul.h
            module.modulemap
            lang/pl.txt
            lang/en.txt
            resourcefile.txt
            mulres.txt)

# Create an iOS Framework bundle 
set_target_properties(mul PROPERTIES
  FRAMEWORK TRUE
  MACOSX_FRAMEWORK_IDENTIFIER org.cmake.mul
  MACOSX_FRAMEWORK_SHORT_VERSION_STRING 42
  MACOSX_FRAMEWORK_BUNDLE_VERSION 3.2.10
  XCODE_ATTRIBUTE_CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY "iPhone Developer"
  PUBLIC_HEADER mul.h
  RESOURCE "${RESLIST}"
)

Thanks in advance

This may not be what you are looking for.
You can place files in a bundle/framework at certain locations.
Perhaps in subdirectories under Resources/.
