How it works: CMake generates a buildsystem (such as Makefiles, build.ninja, a Visual Studio .sln file). Then a build tool (such as make, ninja, Visual Studio, XCode) interprets that buildsystem to issue compilation commands. These commands are executed by a compiler (such as gcc, clang, cl). I fully agree with comparing GCC to CMake being an apples to steaks comparison (and I'm stealing that phrase for future use) :-) Petr -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.

[cmake-developers] GCC x cmake
I would like to know what are the advantages or difference when compared to GCC compiler. -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
