Business Profile
CMake provides a powerful, open-source cross-platform build system that manages the software build process for C/C++ projects.
Software developers, engineers, and engineering teams building cross-platform C/C++ software; organizations requiring robust build, test, and packaging workflows.
Single source builds on multiple platforms, cross-platform packaging (CPack), out-of-source builds, system introspection with a configurable cache, cross-platform testing (CTest), support for multiple target-build systems (Visual Studio, Xcode, Ninja, Make, VSCode), and GUI cache editors.

Alexander Drew, Staff Software Engineer, says: 'It’s the only tool that lets me build C++ projects without a substantial headache. I love CMake.'
Citing: 'It’s the only tool that lets me build C++ projects without a substantial headache. I love CMake.'
James Armes, Principal Software Engineer, states: 'Switching to CMake from bjam has been a massive boost to our organization’s development efficiency.'
Ashish Patil, Lead Engineer, notes: 'It’s platform independent and easy to set up complex projects. You can connect multiple small project libraries.'
Tyler Weaver, Staff Software Engineer, says: 'I am very excited about CPS. I package hundreds of packages, and config modules are always broken and hard to teach.'
Keith Bennett, Senior Software Engineer III, states: 'I love CMake, CTest, and CPack. They have massively simplified my deployments and code safety.'
CMake is an open-source, cross-platform family of tools designed to build, test, and package software. It provides control of the software compilation process using simple independent configuration files and is designed to be used in conjunction with the native build environment. It supports features such as single source builds across platforms, out-of-source builds, system introspection, cross-platform testing, and cross-platform packaging.
Software developers and engineering teams building cross-platform C/C++ software, and organizations needing robust build, test, and packaging workflows.
CMake delivers a de facto standard, platform-agnostic build environment for C/C++ projects with extensive features for building, testing, and packaging across diverse platforms and IDEs, enabling consistent, scalable workflows.
Requires a native build environment on target platforms; supports multiple target-build systems including Visual Studio, Xcode, Ninja, Make, and VSCode; includes GUIs for editing the build cache.
