Build automation

You can invoke CMake from your conanfile.py file and automate the build of your library/project. Conan provides a CMake() helper. This helper is useful in calling the cmake command both for creating Conan packages or automating your project build with the conan build . command. The CMake() helper will take into account your settings in order to automatically set definitions and a generator according to your compiler, build_type, etc.
