The document summarizes a presentation given by Balpreet Kaur on the tools Make and CMake. Make is used to generate executables and non-source files from source code, while CMake recognizes compilers and invokes commands for different target types. CMake supports multiple generators like Xcode and Visual Studio, has an easier to understand file format, can discover libraries cross-platform, and automatically configures toolchains, whereas Make only uses its own format and commands and does not support these features. The document compares and contrasts Make and CMake, noting their differences in capabilities and usage.

Cmake stands for cross-platform make. Cmake recognises which compilers
to use for a given of source.Cmake invokes the right sequence of
commands for each type of target.
