FYI one of the lesser known features of cmake is that it can invoke your build tool as well: cmake .. cmake --build . This smartly invokes make/ninja/msbuild or whatever directly from the command line; very useful on windows machines or to have 'universal' cmake runners for CI that touches multiple platforms. (Also, tutorials; `cmake .. && cmake --build .` should smartly determine the correct compiler for the system and build it; you don't need the -G "FOO" stuff unless you're specifically doing something fancy)
