CMake Kitware
winget install --id=Kitware.CMake -e CMake is an open-source, cross-platform 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, and generate native makefiles and workspaces that can be used in the compiler environment of your choice.
CMake is a cross-platform tool designed to build, test, and package software efficiently. It simplifies the software compilation process by using platform-independent configuration files, enabling developers to generate native makefiles and workspaces for their preferred compiler environment.
Key Features:
- Single Source Multi-Platform Builds: Develop once and compile across multiple platforms seamlessly.
- Cross-Platform Packaging: Distribute software consistently across different operating systems.
- Out-of-Source Builds: Keep your source code clean by separating build files from your project directory.
- System Introspection: Automatically detect system components and dependencies for simplified configuration.
- Cross-Platform Testing: Run tests uniformly across various environments to ensure reliability.
Audience & Benefit: Ideal for developers, engineering teams, and organizations working on cross-platform projects. CMake streamlines the build process, reduces maintenance overhead, and enhances collaboration by providing a unified solution for diverse platforms.
CMake can be installed via winget, making it easy to integrate into your development workflow.
