| − | To provide some background information, when generating the package that will be distributed, an application bundle <code>Slicer.app</code> is created. As explained [http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/CoreFoundation/Conceptual/CFBundles/Introduction/Introduction.html here], a bundle is a directory with a standardized hierarchical structure that holds executable code and the resources used by that code. It means that since all libraries contained within a bundle are referenced relatively to the location of either the CLI or the Slicer executable, the use of launcher does NOT make sens.

| − | To help fixing-up the libraries, executables and plugins so that they reference each other in a relative way, CMake provides us with the [http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.8/cmake.html#module:BundleUtilities BundleUtilities] module.

| − | This module is used in two situations:
| |
| − | # Fixup of Slicer application itself. See [https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/blob/master/CMake/SlicerCPack.cmake#L36-68 SlicerCPack.cmake#L36-68] and [https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/blob/master/CMake/SlicerCPackBundleFixup.cmake.in SlicerCPackBundleFixup.cmake.in]
| |
| − | # Fixup of an extension package. See [https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/blob/master/CMake/SlicerExtensionCPack.cmake#L126-143 SlicerExtensionCPack.cmake#L126-143] and [https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/blob/master/CMake/SlicerExtensionCPackBundleFixup.cmake.in SlicerExtensionCPackBundleFixup.cmake.in]
