Welcome to CMake, the cross-platform, open-source make system. CMake is used to control the software compilation process using simple platform and compiler independent configuration files. CMake generates native makefiles and workspaces that can be used in the compiler environment of your choice. CMake is quite sophisticated: it is possible to support complex environments requiring system configuration, pre-processor generation, code generation, and template instantiation.
 
You will find here not only documentation for CMake, but also for CPack and CTest.

==Converters from other buildsystems to CMake==
 
All converters listed here are not "complete", i.e. the generated CMake files are not 100% finished, in all cases some work is left for the developer.
 
====automake/autotools/autoconf====
* [http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdesdk/cmake/scripts/ am2cmake (requires Ruby) ] Converts automake/autotools/libtool based projects to CMake, specialized in converting from KDE 3 to KDE 4, should also work for others. This one has been used for converting the KDE buildsystem to CMake.
