If I remove the alias_target, then my original command works. What is
the purpose of this alias?
I think the main purpose was using these targets with the ninja
command like: 'ninja ${target}'. ninja command doesn't work when the
alias_target() is removed.
I think this is kinda silly. I would rather rename the meson target (to, say, do_html) and make the
alias reference that, so that both "meson compile html" and "ninja html" would
use the alias.
I agree with you. Here is a patch for fixing this problem with your
suggestion. I added the '-custom' suffix instead of the 'do_' prefix,
I think this makes it more concrete.
Committed, thanks.
