Introduction to CMake

bookWhere to Go Next with CMake

You've now covered the full CMake workflow, from creating simple projects to organizing files, managing libraries, and controlling include paths. At this point, you can confidently configure, build, and run multi-file C and C++ projects using modern CMake practices.

CMake's main strength is portability and scalability. The same build configuration can work across operating systems and compilers while growing naturally with your project. Understanding how targets, libraries, and include directories work together gives you a foundation strong enough for both small tools and large codebases.

  • build configurations (Debug and Release);
  • dependency management with FetchContent or find_package;
  • custom build steps and install rules;
  • testing with CTest;
  • packaging with CPack.

The best way to master CMake is to use it. Convert old projects, experiment with layouts, and try linking real libraries. Each build teaches you something new.
