That's a custom target to create a new release tarball, so nothing to do with my question :-)

My fault, not yours. Ok, let me explain it better.

GeneratorRunner builds successfully on Linux and installs just fine. Now, I want to add Mac OS X support on it. Since GeneratorRunner contains an application (generatorrunner) and a library (genrunner) the installation file hierarchy should be, for what I have understand, something equivalent to the example given in http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:Bundles_And_Frameworks#Framework_.2B_Unix_tools

-- Installing: /Library/Frameworks/genrunner.framework
-- Installing: /Library/Frameworks/genrunner.framework/genrunner
-- Installing: /Library/Frameworks/genrunner.framework/Resources
-- Installing: /Library/Frameworks/genrunner.framework/Versions
-- Installing: /Library/Frameworks/genrunner.framework/Versions/0.6.1
-- Installing: /Library/Frameworks/genrunner.framework/Versions/0.6.1/genrunner
-- Installing: /Library/Frameworks/genrunner.framework/Versions/0.6.1/lib
-- Installing: /Library/Frameworks/genrunner.framework/Versions/0.6.1/lib/cmake
-- Installing: /Library/Frameworks/genrunner.framework/Versions/0.6.1/lib/cmake/GeneratorRunner-0.6.1
-- Installing: /Library/Frameworks/genrunner.framework/Versions/0.6.1/lib/cmake/GeneratorRunner-0.6.1/GeneratorRunnerConfig.cmake
-- Installing: /Library/Frameworks/genrunner.framework/Versions/0.6.1/lib/cmake/GeneratorRunner-0.6.1/GeneratorRunnerConfigVersion.cmake
-- Installing: /Library/Frameworks/genrunner.framework/Versions/0.6.1/lib/pkgconfig
-- Installing: /Library/Frameworks/genrunner.framework/Versions/0.6.1/lib/pkgconfig/generatorrunner.pc
-- Installing: /Library/Frameworks/genrunner.framework/Versions/0.6.1/Resources
-- Installing: /Library/Frameworks/genrunner.framework/Versions/0.6.1/Resources/Info.plist
-- Installing: /Library/Frameworks/genrunner.framework/Versions/Current
-- Installing: /Applications/GeneratorRunner/bin/generatorrunner

My question is mainly about file /Applications/GeneratorRunner/bin/generatorrunner which, although I've set it to be installed there for testing purposes, what I want is it so be installed either in /Library/Frameworks/genrunner.framework/Versions/0.6.1/Commands/generatorrunner or in Library/Frameworks/genrunner.framework/Versions/0.6.1/bin/generatorrunner (I truly don't know what the difference between Commands/ and bin/ is since they both contain executables), but I don't know how to do it. I tried messing with RUNTIME DESTINATION setting it to "bin" but that didn't help.

Hope I have clarified my question ;-)

Thanks,
Carlos Gonçalves
