[cmake-developers] [CMake] CPack install 3rd party shared libraries

[Roman Wüger]

The problem with BundleUtilities which Inder is that it doesn't support generator expressions.

Maybe I do something wrong?
But I need to specify the path to the executable (generator expression) and the paths where to look for dependencies. Right?

Please, could you give me a hint?

Regards
Roman
