Mastering CMake: A Cross-Platform Build System

CMake is the premier cross-platform build system for complex software systems. CMake generates native makefiles and workspaces that can be used in the compiler environment of your choice. CMake is both sophisticated and easy to it is possible to support complex environments requiring system configuration, compiler feature detection, pre-processor generation, code generation, and template instantiation using simple platform and compiler independent configuration files. CMake supports testing and is integrated with the DART regression testing system.
