Basic Usage of CMake: A Must for Native Cross-Platform Development

CMake is an open-source, cross-platform suite of tools for building, testing, and packaging software. CMake controls the software compilation process using simple platform and compiler-independent configuration files (CMakeLists.txt) and generates native build files and workspaces that can be used in your chosen build environment. The CMake suite was created by Kitware in response to the … Read more
