Does CPack have any ability to help with the install_name_tool on the
Mac? Mac applications avoid DLL hell by creating an application
bundle that is really a directory structure that includes the
application, the resources, and the shared libraries used by the
application. My understanding is that the install_name_tool
essentially modifies the RPATH of the distributed application so that
it looks for the shared libraries in the bundle rather than some
random location. I have a script that I run to make this all work,
but it has to be modified as libraries change. Or, if I somehow
forget to run this step the whole distribution is bad. Does CPack
help with this?
Thanks,
Karl
