- Modern CMake (3.15+ or 4.0+) is a clean, powerful, and elegant solution to build system problems.
- A good build system like CMake is essential for avoiding hard-coded paths, supporting multiple OSs, compilers, and IDEs, and using libraries and tools.
- CMake is the preferred build system due to its widespread support across IDEs and libraries.
- Setting the minimum CMake version too low can cause warnings or errors; recommended minimum versions are provided.
- Modern CMake aims to address poor examples and best practices found online.
- Additional resources for learning Modern CMake include official documentation, presentations, and guides.
