Introduction to CMake

This workshop will go over CMake, the cross platform tool used to build C, C++, Fortran, Swift, CUDA, and more on all major operating systems. CMake has a reputation for being clunky and hard to read, but we’ll look at modern CMake - over the last few years, CMake has become much better. We’ll focus on CMake 3.15+ (current version is 3.24) for this workshop.
