Build instruction tweak

Hello, nice project!

For me the existing build instructions did not quite work but the following seems to have:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cd ..             # this line is added
cpack -G DragNDrop

which tool did you use to generate CMakeLists.txt?

thanks, it's a great demo for cmake bundle on macOS.

Trying the bundle generator, fails

The DragnDrop generator is somewhat limited (only a single exe)

But using the bundle generator fails.

It copies everything to the Resources dir.

Doesn't bundle the dylibs in the .app bundle

For me it doesn't bundle or copy the dynamic libraries inside the bundle. Is there an extra config step for this?
