CMake Command: Building a Project

After generating our build tree, we're ready for the next stage: running the builder tool. Not only does CMake know how to generate input files for many different builders, but it can also run them for us with arguments that are specific to our project.

Note: Many online sources recommend running GNU Make directly after the generation stage: make. This is a default generator for Linux and macOS, and it usually works. However, we prefer the method described, as it is generator-independent and is supported across all platforms. As a result, we don't need to worry about the exact environment of every user of our application.
