[SOLVED] Does anyone know what is CMAKE and how to enable/disable it?

Recently, my yay started taking a little longer than the usual to install things. I decided to look at it working and saw this:

[ 96%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/flycast_libretro.dir/core/rend/vulkan/quad.cpp.o
[ 96%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/flycast_libretro.dir/core/rend/vulkan/shaders.cpp.o
[ 97%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/flycast_libretro.dir/core/rend/vulkan/texture.cpp.o
[ 97%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/flycast_libretro.dir/core/rend/vulkan/vmallocator.cpp.o

I realized that a CMAKE program was installed under development in the main menu too.  I have no idea on how or why I installed this thing, but it seems to be useless.

Does anyone know why this happened and how to turn it off? It definitely is consuming a lot more of time to do yay installations.

I have no idea on how or why I installed this thing

A compilation dependency. For example, open-hexagon-git:

 Make Deps       : git  cmake  rsync 

but it seems to be useless.

You need it for build software.

how to turn it off?

You can uninstall cmake, but any program that depends on cmake, will not be builded.

Ah ok. I thought I had made something wrong when I installed retroarch. Thank you.
