alias_target

runtarget alias_target(target_name, dep1, ...)

This function creates a new top-level target. Like all top-level targets, this integrates with the selected backend. For instance, with Ninja you can run it as ninja target_name. This is a dummy target that does not execute any command, but ensures that all dependencies are built. Dependencies can be any build target (e.g. return value of executable(), custom_target(), etc)
