I renamed
triplet
totarget
in #189, mainly to converge with the naming used in Ferric (inheriting--target
from the Rust compiler).I'm backtracking on that decision, because in the context of CMake, developers expect to be able to pass a
--target
to declare the CMake target they want to build.The idea of a triplet (used even in the case of four names separated by dashes) is used by vspkg for the concept were interested in capturing: https://learn.microsoft.com/da-dk/vcpkg/users/triplets and the Rust compiler documentation use "target triplets" for the same concept.
Merging this PR will:
cmake-rn
to use a platform abstraction #189).
