SYNOPSIS

9          cmake-gui [<options>]
10          cmake-gui [<options>] {<path-to-source> | <path-to-existing-build>}
11          cmake-gui [<options>] -S <path-to-source> -B <path-to-build>

DESCRIPTION

14       The  cmake-gui executable is the CMake GUI.  Project configuration set‐
15       tings may be specified interactively.  Brief instructions are  provided
16       at the bottom of the window when the program is running.
17
18       CMake  is  a  cross-platform  build system generator.  Projects specify
19       their build process with platform-independent CMake listfiles  included
20       in each directory of a source tree with the name CMakeLists.txt.  Users
21       build a project by using CMake to generate a build system for a  native
22       tool on their platform.
