The CMake package contains a modern toolset used for generating Makefiles. It is a successor of the auto-generated configure script and aims to be platform- and compiler-independent. A significant user of CMake is KDE since version 4.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS 11.3 platform.

User Notes: https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/cmake
Install CMake by running the following commands:
sed -i '/"lib64"/s/64//' Modules/GNUInstallDirs.cmake &&
./bootstrap --prefix=/usr \
--system-libs \
--mandir=/share/man \
--no-system-jsoncpp \
--no-system-librhash \
--docdir=/share/doc/cmake-3.25.2 &&
make
To test the results, issue: LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 bin/ctest
-j<N> -O
cmake-3.25.2-test.log, where
<N> is an integer between 1 and the
number of system cores. Setting LC_ALL is needed to
prevent some test failures when some of the locale variables are
set to non English locales. One test, BundleUtilities, is known to fail.
If you want to investigate a problem with a given "problem1-test",
use bin/ctest -R "problem1-test" and, to omit it, use
bin/ctest -E "problem1-test". These options can be
used together:
bin/ctest -R "problem1-test" -E "problem2-test".
Option -N can be used to display all
available tests, and you can run bin/ctest for a
sub-set of tests by using separated by spaces names or numbers as
options. Option --help can be used to show all options.
Now, as the root user:
make install
sed ... Modules/GNUInstallDirs.cmake: This command disables applications using cmake from attempting to install files in /usr/lib64/.
--system-libs: This switch forces the build system
to link against Zlib,
Bzip2, cURL,
nghttp2,
Expat and libarchive
installed on the system.
--no-system-jsoncpp: This switch removes the
JSON-C++ library from the list of system
libraries. A bundled version of that library is used instead.
--no-system-librhash: This switch removes the
librhash library from the list of system
libraries used. A bundled version of that library is used instead.
--no-system-{curl,libarchive,libuv,nghttp2}: Use
the corresponding option in the list for the
bootstrap if one recommended dependency is not
installed. A bundled version of the dependency will be used instead.
--qt-gui: This switch enables building the
Qt-based GUI for
CMake.
--parallel=: This switch enables performing the
CMake bootstrap with multiple jobs
at one time.
