This project supplies a fully integrated suite of functionality to make the whole process seamless! (by cmake-basis)

Sadly, cmake is a monster and completely awful to work with. It's 800,000 lines of C++ and >100,000 lines of the terrible scripting language that cmake comes with. It's so revolting that people make things like basis, a large project whose goal is to *generate cmake files for you*.
If you are very fortunate, you'll be able to choose something else. I like meson myself: it looks a bit like python, it's popular, small, simple, well-documented, easy to install and update, and it works well everywhere.
