     i used to see a project with CMakeLists.txt files and go "all right, so it's black magic"

     it's more high-level in reality though. instead of passing linker flags, you're telling CMake to use your compiler toolchain to do stuff like "include everything needed for library X and enable these compile flags for it"

     wxWidgets is way easier to incorporate in your C++ project once your project is CMake based just like wxWidgets is.

     especially so if it's multi-platform. it's simple enough to install a library and development headers on Linux or macOS, but what does that even mean on Windows?
