1. Introduction to CMake CMake is a cross-platform installation (compilation) tool that can describe the installation (compilation process) for all platforms using simple statements. It can output various makefiles or project files, and can test the C++ features supported by the compiler, similar to automake under UNIX. The configuration file for CMake is named CMakeLists.txt. … Read more
