[CMake] Errors in Info.plist of Mac GUI app for CMake 2.8.9

[Michael Jackson]

I use the following macro in my own projects:

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# This macro will set all the variables necessary to have a "good" OS X Application
# bundle. The variables are as follows:
#  PROJECT_NAME - which can be taken from the ${PROJECT_NAME} variable is needed
#  DEBUG_EXTENSION - The extension used to denote a debug built Application. Typically
#   this is '_debug'
#  ICON_FILE_PATH - The complete path to the bundle icon file
#  VERSION_STRING - The version string that you wish to use for the bundle. For OS X
#   this string is usually XXXX.YY.ZZ in type. Look at the Apple docs for more info
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
macro(ConfigureMacOSXBundlePlist TARGET_NAME DEBUG_EXTENSION ICON_FILE_PATH VERSION_STRING)
  # message(STATUS "ConfigureMacOSXBundlePlist for ${PROJECT_NAME} ")
  IF(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE MATCHES "Release")
    SET(DBG_EXTENSION "")
  else()
    set(DBG_EXTENSION ${DEBUG_EXTENSION})
  endif()
  get_filename_component(ICON_FILE_NAME "${ICON_FILE_PATH}" NAME)
    
 set_target_properties(${TARGET_NAME} PROPERTIES
     MACOSX_BUNDLE_INFO_STRING "${PROJECT_NAME}${DBG_EXTENSION} Version ${VERSION_STRING}, Copyright 2009 BlueQuartz Software."
     MACOSX_BUNDLE_ICON_FILE ${ICON_FILE_NAME}
     MACOSX_BUNDLE_GUI_IDENTIFIER "${PROJECT_NAME}${DBG_EXTENSION}"
     MACOSX_BUNDLE_LONG_VERSION_STRING "${PROJECT_NAME}${DBG_EXTENSION} Version ${VERSION_STRING}"
     MACOSX_BUNDLE_BUNDLE_NAME ${PROJECT_NAME}${DBG_EXTENSION}
     MACOSX_BUNDLE_SHORT_VERSION_STRING ${VERSION_STRING}
     MACOSX_BUNDLE_BUNDLE_VERSION ${VERSION_STRING}
     MACOSX_BUNDLE_COPYRIGHT "Copyright 2011, BlueQuartz Software. All Rights Reserved."
 )
 
 SET(${PROJECT_NAME}_PROJECT_SRCS ${${PROJECT_NAME}_PROJECT_SRCS} ${ICON_FILE_PATH})
 SET_SOURCE_FILES_PROPERTIES(${ICON_FILE_PATH} PROPERTIES
                             MACOSX_PACKAGE_LOCATION Resources)  
endmacro()


Use/Abuse/Change to your hearts delight.
