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.
