The `..` at the end points CMake at the source tree root (where `CMakeLists.txt` lives), since you are configuring from inside `build/`.

* The `generator` option is the build system you'd like to use. Run `cmake` without arguments to see a full list of available generators.
* On Windows, you might use "Visual Studio 12 2013" (VS 2013 32-bits), or "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" (VS 2015 64-bits).
* On OS X, you might use "Xcode".
