CMake is a cross platform build manager. It was developed to support a single input describing a build process that works on all platforms. However, instead of taking over the build process, it simply generates input for the native build tools. CMake can generate microsoft project files and various makefile formats for UNIX and Windows. With Visual Studio 6, 7, and 7.1 all having different project formats, CMake can be used to maintain support for all three versions in your project. in addition to porting the build system, CMake can be used to test the compiler for supported C features. CMake supports a full try / compile try / run system much like autoconf on UNIX. This will allow your code to take advantage of the supported features of the language as they become available.
BackgroundCMake is an Open Source project that has been in develpment for the past three years. For more information about CMake, see http://www.cmake.org/. Full source code for CMake can be downloaded from the the CMake homepage as well .
CMAKE is a cross-platform installation (compilation) tool that can be described in a simple statement to describe all platform installations (compilation). It can output Makefile or Project files in various formats, which can test the C features supported by the compiler, similar to Auotconf under UNIX.
It is an open source software that has been developed for many years. Specific information can be seen http://www.cmake.org/
