Description

CMake is a free multi-language multi-platform compilation tool (the name stands for cross-platform make). Although Autotools is the traditional tool used on Linux—by GNU projects among others—, various projects have changed to CMake during the last few years, for different reasons, including for example KDE and MySQL. Those who have already had difficulties with Autotools in their own project will probably find CMake much easier to use. In fact, according to KDE, the main reason for which they have changed from Autotools to CMake is that the compilation is a lot quicker and the build files are a lot easier to write.
