DESCRIPTION
The cmake-gui executable is the CMake GUI. Project configuration settings may be

CMake is a cross-platform build system generator. Projects specify their build process

the name CMakeLists.txt. Users build a project by using CMake to generate a build system
for a native tool on their platform.
