Introduction

Building project

In CMake, a project contains all the source files and configurations necessary to manage the process of bringing our solutions to life. Configuration starts by performing all the checks:

• Whether the target platform is supported.

• Whether it has all the necessary dependencies and tools.

• Whether the provided compiler works and supports required features.

When that's done, CMake will generate a buildsystem for the build tool of our choice and run it. Source files will be compiled and linked with each other and their dependencies to produce output artifacts.
