CMake is a cross-platform build system generator. Projects specify their build process with platform-independent CMake listfiles included in each directory of a source tree with the name CMakeLists.txt. Users build a project by using CMake to generate a build system for a native tool on their platform.

There are several user interface tools which may be used to generate a buildsystem from CMake files. The ccmake(1) and cmake-gui(1) tools guide the user through setting the various necessary options. The cmake(1) tool can be invoked to specify options on the command line.

In order to build the Windows version of CMake, you will need a current binary installation of CMake to bootstrap the build process. You can either download binaries or source code archives for the latest stable or previous release or access the current development (aka nightly) distribution through Git.

There are two paths that are required for cmake to configure and generate projects, the source code directory and build directory. The source directory should be the one corresponding to the git directory pulled (make sure that the source directory contains a CMakeLists.txt file!)
