[CMake] executable output path vs executable runtime path

[Werner Smekal]

Hi,

this might not be the best way (i.e. a hack), but you could use  
get_target_property

http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/ 
cmake-2.6.html#command:get_target_property

to get the path to your executable and then use get_filename_property

http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/ 
cmake-2.6.html#command:get_filename_component

to obtain the actual path. I do that to find the path to my  
application bundle in Mac OS X, so that I can copy some stuff into it.

HTH,
Werner
