What is your environment?
- OS version
mac sierra 10.12.4
After using cmake generate Makefile and install:
$ cmake .
$ make install
there are some errors:
-- Install configuration: ""
-- Installing: /usr/local/share/applications/chewing-editor.desktop
CMake Error at cmake_install.cmake:35 (file):
file INSTALL cannot find "/path/to/chewing-editor/chewing-editor".
maybe the correct path of the built file should be "chewing-editor.app/Contents/MacOS/chewing-editor"
instead of "chewing-editor/chewing-editor" ?

try only $ make

Hi, since macOS doesn't have install task functionally, you can just copy cheeing-editor.app into your "/Applications".
In macOS, applications is not need to be installed manually, so you can just open the .app to run.
Maybe we can show a tip when user runs the install task.
