| 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.

| ==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====

Elaborate script for development side-by-side the updated original static .vc[x]proj files, supports script hooks and powerful definition mappings. Patches and new project members very welcome. Older script versions below:
| |
| ** [http://www.eskilson.se/vcproj2cmake.rb Original vcproj2cmake.rb version (requires Ruby)]
| |
| ** Slightly newer version here [http://dgwarp.hd.free.fr/vcproj2cmake.rb vcproj2cmake.rb], see:[[User_talk:Dweeves]] for details
| |
| * [http://nberserk.blogspot.com/2010/11/converting-vc-projectsvcproj-to.html vcproj2cmake.ps1(PowerShell version)] Creates CMakeLists.txt. it supports vcproj configuration and detect 'exclude from build' option
| |
| * [http://sourceforge.net/projects/folders4cmake/ folders4cmake (requires Java)] Use Visual Studio project files to generate corresponding "source_group" information that you can use inside your own CMake scripts. Supports Visual Studio 9/10 project files (full round-trip possible).
| |
| | |
| ====Basic CMakeLists.txt from-scratch-generator====
| |
| * [http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdesdk/cmake/scripts/ gencmake (requires Ruby) ] Creates basic CMakeLists.txt files from looking at the existing files.
| |
| * [http://www.vanvelzensoftware.com/postnuke/index.php?name=Downloads&req=viewdownload&cid=7 CMakeListGenerator (Win32) ] Creates complete CMakeLists.txt files as described in the [https://gucef.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gucef/trunk/tools/CMakeListGenerator/docs/README.txt README ] using a combination of file and directory structure analysis. Supports resolving dependencies between multiple archives.
