CMake for macOS
CMake is an open-source, cross-platform build system generator maintained by Kitware. It manages the build process of software projects using compiler-independent configuration files. Instead of directly compiling source code, CMake generates native build environments such as Makefiles, Ninja build files, or Visual Studio project files.
