I have a project that builds a group of mac bundles that depend on a library I also compile. I need to install the library within the bundle to get it to be relocatable, but I have no way of doing this without creating a circular dependency.<br>

I can't create install targets in the mylib install directory, because I don't have the list of bundles to install it to until after I parse the mysamples directory and it's too late.<br>
<br>I tried to use the LOCATION_${CMAKE_BUILD_CONFIG} variable, but because I'm using the VERSION and SOVERSION properties on my library I only get one of the symlinks and not all three (libmylib.dylib -> libmylib.2.3.4.dylib, libmylib.1.dylib -> libmylib.2.3.4.dylib, and libmylib.2.3.4.dylib).<br>
<br>Is there some way I can get mylib to also install with my executable bundles?<br><br>James<br>
