<p class="MsoNormal">I know that this is a bit off-topic, but CMake is part of VTKs build system ... Kitware’s documentation is comprehensive, but can be a bit opaque to beginners. Much of the stuff you will find on the internet is a bit dated, or contains
bad advice (or both). I got a copy of “Mastering CMake,” which helped me a bunch (Ken Martin is one of the authors). I have also found “Professional CMake: A Practical Guide” to be very good (and is very up-to-date).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Daniel Pfeifer had a good presentation about “modern” CMake on YouTube, it is referenced in this blog in the first paragraph:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">There was also an “Ask Me Anything” with the CMake developers on Reddit that was an interesting read:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is featured on the CMake page: <a href="https://cmake.org/">
