[CMake] Fwd: Which MacOS installer to use and how?

[Michael Jackson]

I did a Touch COPYING.txt file to simply create the file then CMake ran all the way through. I ran "make -j16; make package" then mounted the .dmg file and ran the installer. I selected an external disk (so not to mess up my current boot disk) and the installer failed. I took a look in the Console.app and clicked on the /private/var/log/install.log file and scrolled to the bottom.
