I would also mention there number of awesome tools exist for CMake (like Android support mentioned before). One of them I used on our project is MXE cross-compiler toolchain [1]. It's basically let you build CMake project for Windows from Linux by adding one toolchain option and it's have almost all popular libraries available. It's can be setup in like 10 commands at most and have pre-built packages for CI. [1] http://mxe.cc/ http://mxe.cc/
