CMake ships with numerous .cmake script files and development tools that facilitate tasks such as finding dependencies (both built-in and external, e.g. FindXYZ modules), testing the toolchain environment and executables, packaging releases (CPack), and managing dependencies on external projects (ExternalProject module).
A software build is the process of converting source code files into standalone software artifact(s) that can be run on a computer, or the result of doing so. [1]In software production, builds optimize software for performance and distribution, packaging into formats such as '.exe'; '.deb'; '.apk'.
Meson is free and open-source software under the Apache License 2.0. [4] Meson is written in Python and runs on Unix-like (including Linux and macOS), Windows and other operating systems. It supports building C, C++, C#, CUDA, Objective-C, D, Fortran, Java, Rust, and Vala. [5] It handles dependencies via a mechanism named Wrap.
Qt Creator includes a project manager that can use a variety of project formats such as .pro, CMake, Autotools and others. A project file can contain information such as what files are included into the project, custom build steps and settings for running the applications.
The Windows Package Manager (also known as winget) is a free and open-source package manager designed by Microsoft for Windows 10 and Windows 11. It consists of a command-line utility and a set of services for installing applications. [5] [6] Independent software vendors can use it as a distribution channel for their software packages.
This is a list of free and open-source software packages (), computer software licensed under free software licenses and open-source licenses.Software that fits the Free Software Definition may be more appropriately called free software; the GNU project in particular objects to their works being referred to as open-source.

In general, based on a makefile, Make updates target files from source files if any source file has a newer timestamp than the target file or the target file does not exist. For example, this could include compiling C files ( *.c ) into object files , then linking the object files into an executable program.
The functionality of GYP is similar to the CMake build tool. GYP processes a file that contains a JSON dictionary [2] in order to generate one or more target project make files. The single source .GYP file is generic while the target files are specific to each targeted build tool.
