[CMake] installing resources in mac app on cmake 2.6

[Mattias Holm]

Hi,

Thanks, will try that out, however, what I was trying was something  
like the following:

add_executable(openorbit MACOSX_BUNDLE ${openorbit_SRC})
set_target_properties(openorbit PROPERTIES RESOURCE ${res_list})

I assume then that setting the resource property on a target only  
works on frameworks (and not applications), this is a bit inconsistent  
I think.


Regards,
Mattias
