CMake

Description

CMake is a cross-platform free and open-source software tool for managing the build process of software using a compiler-independent method. It supports directory hierarchies and applications that depend on multiple libraries. It is used in conjunction with native build environments such as Make, Qt Creator, Ninja, Apple's Xcode, and Microsoft Visual Studio. It has minimal dependencies, requiring only a C++ compiler on its own build system.

Usage

It's used to:  * Download medInria dependencies (ITK, VTK, etc)  * Configure the compilation  * Generates medInria Visual Studio solutions and projects, plugins, and dependencies.
