<p>There is not an officially endorsed CMake setup for CXX, but a few developers
have shared one that they got working. You can try one of these as a starting
point. If you feel that you have arrived at a CMake setup that is superior to
what is available in these links, feel free to make a PR adding it to this list.</p>
