 Alternatively, you can just copy the [sago](https://github.com/sago007/PlatformFolders/tree/master/sago) folder into your program and manually link everything.
 If you use the last option and are using a library version from before 4.0.0: Remember to link to the CoreServices lib when compiling on Mac. This typically means passing "-framework CoreServices" during the linking phase.
 
+Note that if you build in-tree, you can link against the Cmake alias `sago::platform_folders` just like if you had used find_package.
