I have a library that needs to be built on some platforms but on others is part
of the OS. I'd like to avoid putting "if platform" conditional code in the
places it is used, but instead hide it away in my platform-specific code.
One way to do this is define a variable mylib_targetname in each platform and
add ${mylib_targetname} as a dependency. It can be defined on some platforms
and undefined on others.
It feels cleaner if I could create an alias target MY_NAMESPACE::mylib and
refer to that. This lets me define the dependency without making sure an
environment variable is set, which feels more natural. But in order to make
this work I need a way to express that MY_NAMESPACE::mylib might be
(legitimately) null on some platforms, and I can't figure out how to do this.
Any ideas?
