Yes, but you shouldn't. Just use the cabal build system instead. It solves the same kinds of problems, but requires far less effort than dealing with CMake.

 

It is not. It's a fairly terrible piece of software. It has a grotesque macro language, lots of strange undocumented behaviours, and is generally a nightmare to work with. The only thing it's adequate for is managing the build and packaging of very complex cross-platform software packages. You certainly shouldn't use it for anything else. In fairness, the CMake developers are very nice and responsive, which is just as well given the number of times you'll have to ask them "why isn't this doing something sane?" if you use it for a real project.
