How do I use CMake for my C++ project?

To use CMake, first create a CMakeLists.txt file in your project directory. This file defines your project and its build configuration.

What should I include in the CMakeLists.txt file?

You should include the project name, minimum CMake version, and the source files. For example:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)
project(MyProject)
add_executable(MyExecutable main.cpp)

How do I build the project after setting up CMake?

You can build your project by running the following commands in your terminal:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

Can I use CMake with external libraries?

Yes, you can link external libraries using the find_package command in your CMakeLists.txt file.
