In 1999 the National Library of Medicine engaged a small company called Kitware to develop a better way to configure, build, and deploy complex software across many different platforms. This work was part of the Insight Segmentation and Registration Toolkit, or ITK1. Kitware, the engineering lead on the project, was tasked with developing a build system that the ITK researchers and developers could use. The system had to be easy to use, and allow for the most productive use of the researchers' programming time. Out of this directive emerged CMake as a replacement for the aging autoconf/libtool approach to building software. It was designed to address the weaknesses of existing tools while maintaining their strengths.
In addition to a build system, over the years CMake has evolved into a family of development tools: CMake, CTest, CPack, and CDash. CMake is the build tool responsible for building software. CTest is a test driver tool, used to run regression tests. CPack is a packaging tool used to create platform-specific installers for software built with CMake. CDash is a web application for displaying testing results and performing continuous integration testing
