Has anybody ported CMake to z/OS?
I'm not aware of any such work.
The only knowledge of z/OS of which I recall was added here:
Teach compiler id about VisualAge -> XL rebranding
http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=115ecc57
It simply distinguishes the zOS compiler from XL and VisualAge
compilers because both define __IBMC__ or __IBMCPP__. However,
no platform or compiler information modules are available for
zOS.
I'm not familiar with z/OS other than in that it exists.
Porting to be hosted on there may be quite a bit of work if
it is not POSIX-like. (A VMS port was done in the past but
has not been maintained.) If cross compilers are available
to build for z/OS from another OS maybe that would be simpler.
z/OS really needs a port because cmake is starting to become common for
new projects.
z/OS has a POSIX stack called Unix System Services which is decent,
although it sticks firmly to POSIX standards and lacks features you
would find
on Linux. It also has an excellent C/C++ compiler. I've done many ports
before and I've had a look at cmake and it build ok with a little bit of
work. The
problem is EBCDIC and the flex lexer and C++ regex functions. I might
have a crack at it and help we be eagerly received.
