CMake for the Impatient - Steve Love - C++ on Sea 2025
---

CMake has emerged as a leading tool for managing C++ projects. Although it's not particularly new, there's a perception that it's complicated, arcane, or just unfamiliar. As an experienced programmer returning to C++ after an extended absence, I certainly found CMake unfamiliar, but a little research showed me that it's not as hard as it looks. I also discovered that it's flexible and powerful too. In this talk I want to share some of that experience and hope that you'll embrace CMake.
