- CMake is an open-source, cross-platform family of tools designed to
- build, test and package software. CMake is used to control the software
- compilation process using simple platform and compiler independent
- configuration files, and generate native makefiles and workspaces that
- can be used in the compiler environment of your choice. The suite of
- CMake tools were created by Kitware in response to the need for a
- powerful, cross-platform build environment for open-source projects such
- as ITK and VTK.
