 SUMMARY = "Cross-platform, open-source make system"
+DESCRIPTION = "CMake is used to control the software compilation process \
+using simple platform and compiler independent configuration files. CMake \
+generates native makefiles and workspaces that can be used in the compiler \
+environment of your choice. CMake is quite sophisticated: it is possible to \
+support complex environments requiring system configuration, pre-processor \
+generation, code generation, and template instantiation."
