In the build directory, "ccmake ." Note the "." I need to do this in almost every cmake project I don't know well. Also toggle on the advanced options listing. Occasionally you'll see stuff in the CMakeLists.txt files that don't show up in that menu. This is usually variables you can set on the command line to influence configuration. People are nowadays calming down their desire to program up their own flavor of a gigantic build system, and sticking to simpler idioms. That's a big improvement. However there's a lot of legacy nightmare cmake out there. Meson is much harder to build different dialects. Some people don't like this. After 35 years of build systems, I say yes please! I forget what I do in meson. Which means I just read the meson.build and meson_options.txt. They are quite straightforward, and very concise, if you're not Doing It Wrong.
