CMake是一个跨平台的安装(编译)工具,可以用简单的语句来描述所有平台的安装(编译过程)。他能够输出各种各样的makefile或者project文件,能测试编译器所支持的C++特性,类似UNIX下的automake。只是 CMake 的组态档取名为 CmakeLists.txt。Cmake 并不直接建构出最终的软件，而是产生标准的建构档（如 Unix 的 Makefile 或 Windows Visual C++ 的 projects/workspaces），然后再依一般的建构方式使用。这使得熟悉某个集成开发环境（IDE）的开发者可以用标准的方式建构他的软件，这种可以使用各平台的原生建构系统的能力是 CMake 和 SCons 等其他类似系统的区别之处。-CMake is a cross-platform installation (compiler) tool, you can use a simple statement to describe the installation of all platforms (the compilation process). He was able to output a variety of makefile or project file can test compiler support C++ features automake UNIX-like. The just CMake is a configuration file named CmakeLists.txt. Cmake is not directly construct the final software, but to generate standard build files (such as the Makefile of Unix or Windows Visual C++ of projects/workspaces,) and then in accordance with the general construction method. This makes it familiar to an integrated development environment (IDE) developers can use the standard way to construct his software, this you can use the platform native build system CMake and SCons other similar systems differentiated between.
