cmake

Overview

CMake is a cross-platform, open-source make system used to control the software compilation process using simple platform and compiler independent configuration files. CMake generates native makefiles and workspaces that can be used in the compiler environment of your choice.

CMake Version 3.26.5 is the CSF3-default version, installed by the operating system. You do NOT need to load a module to use it.

Versions 3.28.6, 3.25.1, 3.23.0, 3.16.4, 3.13.2, 3.12.1 and 3.11.4 are installed and available as modules.

Restrictions on use

There are no access restrictions on the CSF.
