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.
The suite of CMake tools were created by Kitware in response to the need for a powerful, cross-platform build environment for open-source projects such as ITK and VTK.
The CMake python wheels provide CMake 4.4.5.
pip install cmakeThe cmake, ccmake, cpack, and ctest executables are then
available on PATH (ccmake is not included on Windows). The package is
also commonly used as a build-time dependency, for example in a
pyproject.toml build-system.requires list.
