Re: cmake / OSX - FindM.cmake

Hmmm... 

cmake -DCMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT detects libpcap properly, but the tests build with it show that it failed to detect all the 
pcap_* functions because the test doesn't link the libpcap.dylib file.

But with the command line tools they get detected. Macosx-setup.sh should add a check for this to be installed.

Thanks for your help to the pointer!

Yes, those are all system-supplied libraries, at least in the "runtime" sense.  (For Linux people, think packages such 
as "libm", "libpcap", "zlib" or "libz", or whatever they're called on your distribution.)

The *header files*, however, are supplied as part of either Xcode or the command-line development tools.  (For Linux 
people, think the "XXX-dev" package corresponding to the "XXX" package, or whatever convention your distribution uses.  
For Windows, I guess think "SDK" or whatever it's called.)

If you only install the Shiny GUI IDE Xcode, you don't get /usr/include.  You *do* get command-line tools, but they're 
buried inside the Xcode application bundle, just as the headers are.

If you install the "command-line (development) tools", you get separate copies of the headers, command-line tools, 
etc., in the usual UN*X places.

You can install both.  I sincerely hope that Apple manages to keep them in sync with updates to Xcode and the 
command-line tools.

It Would Be Nice if CMake were to make an effort to provide a nice way to, on OS X, look in "the appropriate places" 
without requiring that you tell it where to look.  Perhaps we're all missing the right magical way to do that.
