Welcome to CMake, the cross-platform, open-source build system. CMake is a 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. CMake generates native makefiles and workspaces that can be used in the compiler environment of your choice.
CMake was created by Kitware in response to the need for a powerful, cross-platform build environment for open-source projects such as ITK and VTK. In addition to leading the development of this popular tool, Kitware also offers commercial consulting, support and training to help your organization effectively use CMake and the entire Kitware quality software process.
