[Insight-developers] Any plan to make ITK a Mac framework bundle?

[Huang Shiva]

Dear all:

I'm now need some suggestions.

As we know, ITK is composed by many individual parts. I tried to
composed all of them into "one" shared library for packaging it as Mac
framework.
But it seems not a good solution. I have to mix lots and lots c++
source code any header files, and it's getting into a mess.

And now, I think maybe we can package each shared library (if you want
to build a Mac framework, you got to set your target as shared library
in CMake) as a framework? I heard that a framework could contain other
framework inside it, perhaps I can pack these individual frameworks in
an all-in-one ITK framework? Though I don't know how to do this in
CMake.

So, is this thought comfirm to the logic of ITK? And the logic of Mac?
Any suggestions?

Best Regards,
Shiva Huang
