What is a .CMAKE file?
CMAKE files contain configuration instructions for CMake, a build system used to prepare software projects for compilation. They can specify which source files belong to a project, identify required libraries, define build options, and describe how to organize the build process for different platforms and development environments. CMake configuration files commonly use the name CMakeLists.txt, although files with the .cmake extension are also used for reusable scripts and additional configuration settings.
You may find CMAKE files when downloading open-source software, exploring a C or C++ development project, or configuring an application that must be built from source code. They often appear in repositories alongside source files, header files, and build instructions, and may define shared settings or helper functions used by the main CMakeLists.txt file. File Viewer Plus can open, edit, and save CMAKE files, allowing you to inspect or change their build configuration code.
