I'm using CMake to generate the Xcode-project for debugging purposes. The packaging is done by a shell script to wrap all needed resources into one bundle. The first step is making the pure LyX.app bundle (make install). Then the additional parts are copied into this app bundle. The used frameworks (spell checker libraries, gettext and Qt4) needs to be adjusted to make them relocatable. The dictionaries and thesauri are simply copied into it too. Of course one can do these steps with CMake but I never got a friend of it's language and I'm loosing to much time to find my mistakes when using it. If it had the ability to tell me what it's doing and why… sorry, the verbose option of it is not enough for me. Stephan
