[CMake] .so link and cpack

[Gonzalo Garramuño]

Currently, I have a project where I build a library and an executable 
that depends on the library.  Finally, I package a .deb package with cpack.

Now, my problem is that cpack packs the symbolic link of my library and 
that creates problems with the deb installer ( dpkg -i ) whenever I try 
to install the same version of my program twice. The error I get is that 
the symbolic link changed value from 20 to 42 (or something like that).

I tried removing the symbolic link previous to packaging, but then I get 
cpack erroring out with:

CMake Error at 
/media/gga/Datos/code/applications/mrViewer/BUILD/Linux-3.13.0-108-generic-64/Release/tmp/libACESclip/cmake_install.cmake:47 
(file):
   file INSTALL cannot find
"/media/gga/Datos/code/applications/mrViewer/BUILD/Linux-3.13.0-108-generic-64/Release/lib/libACESclip.so".

Following a post on stackoverflow, I also tried using NAMELINK_SKIP on 
the library, like:


set_target_properties( ACESclip
   PROPERTIES
   SOVERSION ${SOVERSION})

install( TARGETS ACESclip
   RUNTIME DESTINATION bin
   LIBRARY DESTINATION lib
   ARCHIVE DESTINATION lib
   NAMELINK_SKIP )

But then the executable:

ADD_EXECUTABLE( mrViewer WIN32 ${SOURCES} )
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES( mrViewer ${LIBRARIES} ACESclip )

would not find my library and would error out.

Therefore, I turn to the list for help.  How do I prevent cpack from 
packaging symbolic links (a feature which is kind of wrong at least for 
.deb files)?  Or how do I make my executable use the library without 
symlinks?

Thanks in advance.
