CMake
A powerful, comprehensive solution for managing the software build process.

CMake is an open-source build system generator that serves as the de-facto standard for building C++ projects. It provides a platform-independent way to manage complex build processes, supporting configuration, testing via CTest, and packaging via CPack. With over 2 million downloads per month, it is widely adopted across industries.
CMake uses platform-independent configuration files to generate native build scripts for a wide range of compilers and build environments.
