Problem with adding executable to macOS bundle
-
I have an executable on macOS that's built externally to my projects (uchmviewer).
When I get to the post-build stage in CMake, I copy the executable into my .app bundle. Which is OK, and I can run the built code just fine including the invocation of that executable.
However the installation of the bundle doesn't do all that's needed to the added executable so, when I try to run it from the installed and signed bundle I get:

[Process completed]How can I get the install step in my CMake file to process this in the same way as the executables I build (so that it's rpath is adjusted and all necessary dylibs are added to the bundle)?
Here's what I have in my CMakeLists.txt file:

I tried this:
if(NOT LINUX) set (deploy_tool_options_arg "-verbose=1") if(APPLE) set(deploy_tool_options_arg "${deploy_tool_options_arg} -hardened-runtime -timestamp -no-strip") set(deploy_tool_options_arg "${deploy_tool_options_arg} \"-executable=$<TARGET_BUNDLE_CONTENT_DIR:DeepSkyStacker>/MacOS/DeepSkyStackerCL\"") set(deploy_tool_options_arg "${deploy_tool_options_arg} \"-executable=$<TARGET_BUNDLE_CONTENT_DIR:DeepSkyStacker>/MacOS/uchmviewer\"") set(deploy_tool_options_arg "${deploy_tool_options_arg} \"-codesign=Developer ID Application: David Partridge (VH8AYT3C7Y)\"")and it seems to have worked ...
Was that the best way to do it?
