    <para>
      The <application>CMake</application> package contains a modern
      toolset used for generating Makefiles. It is a successor of the
      auto-generated <command>configure</command> script and aims to
      be platform- and compiler-independent. A significant user of
      <application>CMake</application> is <application>KDE</application>
      since version 4.

    <para>
      <parameter>--system-libs</parameter>: This switch forces the build system
      to link against the <application>Zlib</application>,
      <application>Bzip2</application>, <application>cURL</application>,
      <application>Expat</application> and <application>libarchive</application>
      packages already installed on the system.

    <para>
      <parameter>--no-system-jsoncpp</parameter>: This switch removes the
      <application>JSON-C++</application> library from the list of system
      libraries. A bundled version of that library is used instead.
    </para>

    <para>
      <option>--qt-gui</option>: This switch enables building of the
      <application>Qt</application>-based  GUI for
      <application>CMake</application>.
    </para>

    <para>
      <option>--qt-qmake=/usr/bin/qmake-qt5</option>: Use this switch if
      you have both <application>Qt4</application> and
      <application>Qt5</application> installed but wish to build the
      <application>Qt5</application> based GUI (it defaults to
