CMake is a cross-platform installation (compilation) tool that describes installation (compilation) on all platforms in a simple statement. It can output various makefiles or projects and test C++ features supported by compilers, similar to automake on UNIX. The configuration file for CMake is called cmakelists.txt. Cmake does not directly build the final software, but instead produces standard constructs (such as Unix makefiles or Windows Visual C++ projects/workspaces), which are then used in a general construction manner. This allows developers familiar with an integrated development environment (IDE) to build their software in a standard way, and the ability to use the platform’s native build system is what distinguishes CMake from other similar systems such as SCons.
