This is my life now, until I finally understand Cmake.

Which will probably be never.

The C in Cmake maybe stands for cat. It would make sense.
In case anyone wants to know the actual answer, it stands for cross platform make, and my understanding is that it’s for generating build project files for various development environments. For instance, with one CMake file you can generate a Visual Studio Solution file, an XCode project file, a Makefile, etc. Several IDEs are also able to read CMake files directly.
This thread is wild, I'm here like "cmake is by far the simplest way to cross compile to ARM and x86, with and without Cuda build targets" and y'all are talking about IDEs for some reason.
I like this idea!
