Description
I'm trying to build mpv-debug-plugin for macOS, but it failed to compile without a linking target (works on Linux).
[build] [ 92%] Linking CXX shared library debug.dylib
[build] Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
[build] "_mpv_command_string", referenced from:
[build] Debug::Console::ExecCommand(char const*) in debug.cpp.o
Also tried MPV_CPLUGIN_DYNAMIC_SYM, but got:
[build] [100%] Linking CXX shared library debug.dylib
[build] duplicate symbol '_pfn_mpv_set_property' in:
[build] CMakeFiles/debug.dir/src/debug.cpp.o
[build] CMakeFiles/debug.dir/src/main.cpp.o
It seems selectany only work on Windows. ping @kasper93

Research direction
Start by reproducing the macOS link failure in mpv-debug-plugin and inspect the references from src/debug.cpp and src/main.cpp, along with the MPV_CPLUGIN_DYNAMIC_SYM path. Done means the plugin links on macOS without the undefined or duplicate symbols reported here.
