CMake Targets

CMake targets are specific components of a software project that you want to build, such as libraries, executables, or tests. When using CMake, a widely-used build system, you define these targets to organize and manage the project's files and their relationships. Each target specifies important details like source files, dependencies, and build settings. This structured approach helps ensure that the software is compiled correctly and efficiently, allowing developers to focus on writing code rather than managing the build process manually. In essence, targets streamline and automate how software components are put together.
