Is there a way to actually test to see if a target exists or has been
created?

I am working on the boost-cmake stuff and I would to implement a macro that takes in requirements for a target (regression test). As it checks those requirements the macro will need to check to see if one of its dependencies has already been created. For example say I have a regression test Foo and
it depends on a static-multi_threaded-debug build of the boost_system
library.
Now say the user has selected to NOT build static libraries. I need to check for the boost-system-static-multi-debug target and if it does not
exists (which it will not in our example) add that target.

Alternatively, what happens if I just add a new target and the new target
already actually exists? Is that safe?

Did you try
if(TARGET target-name)

cf

cmake --help-command if
--
Erk


let me pull my head out of my ... thanks.. ;-O
