SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
The cmake-gui executable is the CMake GUI. Project configuration settings may be
specified interactively. Brief instructions are provided at the bottom of the window when
the program is running.
CMake is a cross-platform build system generator. Projects specify their build process
with platform-independent CMake listfiles included in each directory of a source tree with
the name CMakeLists.txt. Users build a project by using CMake to generate a build system
for a native tool on their platform.
