Summary: CMake can't make kexts
Description:
CMake can build targets which are apps, but it can't make kexts (kernel
modules). Fix isn't hard.
Additional Information:
I have gotten CMake to generate kexts that work. The issue that MUST be fixed
in-code is that kexts have an extension of ".kext" while OS X bundles currently
are hard-coded to be ".app".
As a work-around, my CMakeLists.txt has:
set(SLE System/Library/Extensions)
...
install(TARGETS myKext BUNDLE DESTINATION /${SLE} )
install(CODE "file(RENAME ${DSTROOT}/${SLE}/myKext.app
${DSTROOT}/${SLE}/myKext.kext)")
I don't know how to fix this, but I suggest two new target properties for an OS
X bundle:
MACOSX_BUNDLE_EXTENSION # defaults to "app"
MACOSX_BUNDLE_TYPE # type in the Info.plist, defaults to
"APPL"
Generating a kext did also require some custom link options:
set_target_properties(myKext PROPERTIES LINKER_LANGUAGE C)
set_target_properties(myKext PROPERTIES LINK_FLAGS "-Xlinker -kext
-lcc_kext")
but these were achievable within the existing set of settings. I also am not
sure exactly which of those are needed; my project has been updated over time
and may not use the recommended starting settings. Also, we mix C and C++
(IOKit).
