- Does not build the code, generates files to feed into a build system
- Very powerful, still build receipt is readable
- The library creation and linking can be rewritten as follows:
add_library(tools tools.cpp)
add_executable(main main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(main tools)
- CMakeLists.txt defines the whole build
- CMake reads CMakeLists.txt sequentially
