# Build with CMake

`CMake` is a tool to simplify the build process for development projects across different platforms. `CMake` automatically generates build systems, such as Makefiles and Ninja files.

`CMake` is a third-party tool with its own documentation. This manual focuses on how to use `CMake` to build Qt applications and libraries.
