[Paraview] ParaView Mac OS X and Cocoa ... again

[Michael Jackson]

Here is what I do in my current projects, I think ParaView is similar:

  I have a file called CompleteBundle.cmake.in that I 'Configure' with  
cmake to fill in to the blanks. I then manually copy a "qt.conf" file  
and the qt_menu.nib into the proper location in the Application  
Bundle. Here is my file which will obviously need to be adapted for  
paraview:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6)

#-- Need this for link line stuff?
if(COMMAND cmake_policy)
   cmake_policy(SET CMP0009 NEW)
endif(COMMAND cmake_policy)


if (${CMAKE_VERSION} VERSION_GREATER 2.6.2)
if(COMMAND cmake_policy)
   cmake_policy(SET CMP0011 NEW)
endif(COMMAND cmake_policy)
endif()

# gp_item_default_embedded_path item default_embedded_path_var
#
# Return the path that others should refer to the item by when the item
# is embedded inside a bundle.
#
# Override on a per-project basis by providing a project-specific
# gp_item_default_embedded_path_override function.
#
function(gp_item_default_embedded_path_override item  
default_embedded_path_var)
   #
   # The assumption here is that all executables in the bundle will be
   # in same-level-directories inside the bundle. The parent directory
   # of an executable inside the bundle should be MacOS or a sibling of
   # MacOS and all embedded paths returned from here will begin with
   # "@executable_path/../" and will work from all executables in all
   # such same-level-directories inside the bundle.
   #

   # By default, embed things right next to the main bundle executable:
   #
   set(path "@executable_path/../../Contents/MacOS")

   set(overridden 0)
   # Embed .dylibs right next to the main bundle executable:
   #
   if(item MATCHES "\\.dylib$")
     set(path "@executable_path/../Libraries")
     set(overridden 1)
   endif(item MATCHES "\\.dylib$")

   # Embed .so right next to the main bundle executable:
   #
   if(item MATCHES "\\.so$")
     set(path "@executable_path/../Plugins")
     set(overridden 1)
   endif(item MATCHES "\\.so$")

   # Embed frameworks in the embedded "Frameworks" directory (sibling  
of MacOS):
   #
   if(NOT overridden)
     if(item MATCHES "[^/]+\\.framework/")
       set(path "@executable_path/../Frameworks")
       set(overridden 1)
     endif(item MATCHES "[^/]+\\.framework/")
   endif(NOT overridden)

   set(${default_embedded_path_var} "${path}" PARENT_SCOPE)
endfunction(gp_item_default_embedded_path_override)


#-- Be sure all the internal directories are created first before  
calling the 'fixup_bundle'
file(MAKE_DIRECTORY "@CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX@/@target at .app/Contents/ 
Libraries")
file(MAKE_DIRECTORY "@CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX@/@target at .app/Contents/ 
Plugins")
file(MAKE_DIRECTORY "@CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX@/@target at .app/Contents/ 
Frameworks")
file(MAKE_DIRECTORY "@CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX@/@target at .app/Contents/ 
Support")

#-- Put an empty qt.conf file in the bundle so as to NOT load plugins  
from the installed Qt.
file(WRITE "@CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX@/@target at .app/Contents/Resources/ 
qt.conf" "")

#-- Check for Qt4 stuff
if ("@QT_MAC_USE_COCOA@" STREQUAL "1")
   message(STATUS "Copying qt_menu.nib into @target at .app/Contents/ 
Resources")
   file(MAKE_DIRECTORY "@CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX@/@target at .app/Contents/ 
Resources/qt_menu.nib")
   execute_process(COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E copy_directory  
"@QT_LIBRARY_DIR@/QtGui.framework/Resources/qt_menu.nib"  
"@CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX@/@target at .app/Contents/Resources/qt_menu.nib")
endif()

# -- Run the BundleUtilities cmake code
include(BundleUtilities)
fixup_bundle("@CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX@/@target at .app" "${PluginList}"  
"Plugins")
