[CMake] MAC OS X bundles

[Matthias Riechmann]

Hi,

what exactly do I have to do to successfully build my applilcation as a 
MacOS X bundle? So far I used the parameter "MACOSX_BUNDLE" for the 
ADD_EXECUTABLE command and set a lot of properties using the 
MACOSX_BUNDLE_* variables. The result is indeed a directory with an 
".app" extension with my application inside. But this is where my 
problems begin: My application is dependand on several libraries (Qt, 
ITK, VTK) and these libraries are not found when executing my application.

While digging in the internet I found out that the problem is related to 
the "install_name" option of the linker that tells the application where 
to find the libraries and some rpath issues. I discovered a lot of 
controversary hints on this topic so now I'm completely clueless.

Isn't all I have to do telling the linker to let my application search 
for the libraries in a certain path, say 
"@executable_path/../Frameworks"? If it is, how do I do it? If it is 
not, what do I have to do to get my aplication finding the libraries?
