CMake-based projects

CMake-based projects use a system called CMake to automate the build process of software. CMake acts like a set of instructions that helps developers compile source code into executable programs across different computers and operating systems. It simplifies managing complex projects by generating the appropriate build files, ensuring that code dependencies and configurations are handled consistently. This approach makes it easier to develop, test, and deploy software, especially when working with multiple platforms or large codebases, by providing a flexible and automated way to turn code into a working application.
