The drag-n-drop generator puts a copy of the "make install" tree at the root of the disk image produced...<div><br></div><div>So if your "make install" tree has bundles in it, they're in there. Otherwise, not.<br>
<br></div><div>I think the answer to your question : "will '..' always work in INSTALL rules?" is -- it depends. We will not knowingly break it intentionally... However, unless there is a test for it in the cmake test suite, it may get broken unintentionally.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Could you devise/contribute a new test (or an extension to an existing test) that would verify that the INSTALL behavior we have now remains that way?</div><div><br></div><div>On the other hand, I can think of some cases where you will have file/dir create/write access under the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX directly, but not in some of its subdirectories.

But you'd only ever do that with the cpack bundle generator, right?<br>

In a very narrow set of circumstances, yes. Normally, it never comes up.<div class="im"><br>

Why not use the drag-n-drop generator instead? Then you won't have to go outside the install prefix. This is one of the reasons I contributed the drag-n-drop generator.<br>

My recollection was that the drag-n-drop generator handled the one-binary-per-bundle use case well, but isn't general enough for my situation (multiple binaries, multiple external libraries, shared data, etc). Where does the drag-n-drop generator install files within the bundle?<br>
