Question 1

What are CMake files (.cmake, CMakeLists.txt)?

Accepted Answer

CMake files, typically `CMakeLists.txt` in project directories or `.cmake` for modules, contain scripts for the CMake build system. CMake uses these files to generate native build files (like Makefiles or Visual Studio projects) for compiling and linking software.
