Summary: The red message "INSTALL TARGETS - target Xxx has
RESOURCE files but no RESOURCE DESTINATION." is misleading on Apple platforms.
Description:
When building an OS X application, the resource files are listed in the RESOURCE
target property. Following INSTALL(...) documentation
(http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.3/command/install.html?highlight=install#installing-targets):
>The PRIVATE_HEADER, PUBLIC_HEADER, and RESOURCE arguments cause subsequent
properties to be applied to installing a FRAMEWORK shared library target’s
associated files on non-Apple platforms.
>Rules defined by these arguments are ignored on Apple platforms because the
associated files are installed into the appropriate locations inside the
framework folder.
From the documentation, one would understand that there is no point in giving a
RESOURCE argument to INSTALL command when targeting Apple platforms: the
argument is ignored, and the resource are copied inside the bundle (the second
statement here being actually true). Yet, if this argument is omitted, a red
message is emitted in the GUI, which seems confusing with regard to the
documentation statement.
Also, if one decides to provide this argument with a dummy location to turn off
the message, the install target will actually copy the RESOURCE files to the
dummy location (So the argument is not ignored: the resources are still copied
in the bundle, but they are also copied in the provided location).
Steps to Reproduce:
##
## This is the skeleton of a CMakeLists.txt that would trigger the red message
when generated on Apple
##
# populate ${${PROJECT_NAME}_RESOURCES} variable with a .xib file and images
add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME} MACOSX_BUNDLE
${${PROJECT_NAME}_HEADERS}
${${PROJECT_NAME}_SOURCES}
${${PROJECT_NAME}_RESOURCES}
main.mm
)
set_target_properties(${PROJECT_NAME} PROPERTIES
VERSION "${VERSION}"
SOVERSION "${SOVERSION}"
RESOURCE "${${PROJECT_NAME}_RESOURCES}"
)
install(TARGETS ${PROJECT_NAME}
BUNDLE DESTINATION ${RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY}
)
