[CMake] CMake 2.8, Xcode generator and XIB files

[Daniel Dekkers]

I don't think you need the configure_file() command.

What happens now (if i understand correctly) is that:
1) a copy of Info.plist is made from CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR to CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR
2) a copy of Info.plist is made from CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR to path/to/build/CMakeFiles/[appname].dir

You should be able to just do...

set_target_properties( ${this_target} PROPERTIES MACOSX_BUNDLE_INFO_PLIST ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/Info.plist )
set_target_properties(${this_target} PROPERTIES RESOURCE "${RESOURCE_FILES}")

To add the Info.plist from CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR directly to your project. 
Unless, you would do something interesting in configure_file(), besides just copying.

Don't know if you can send an image as attachment to the mailing list. You can try ;-)

Thanks,
Daniel

I've modified the cmakelists file to include:

#-------------------------------------------------------
configure_file(${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/Info.plist ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/Info.plist)

set_target_properties( ${this_target} PROPERTIES MACOSX_BUNDLE_INFO_PLIST ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/Info.plist )

set_target_properties(${this_target} PROPERTIES RESOURCE "${RESOURCE_FILES}")
#-------------------------------------------------------

which seems OK with Cmake. Indeed files now seem to go into the correct Xcode folders. However there is still an oddity best demonstrated with a picture. Does this list accepts JPG/PNG attachments? Is this OK?

Thx++
