Description
The "cmake3-gui" executable is the CMake GUI. Project configuration settings may be specified interactively. Brief instructions are provided at the bottom of the window when the program is running. CMake is a cross-platform build system generator.

Users build a project by using CMake to generate a build system for a native tool on their platform.
