Hi; I'm trying to get cmake to run on the OpenVMS operating system with a goal of eventually getting ITK to run on VMS. Searching through this list and on the website it doesn't appear as if this effort has been made. My first question: has anyone successfully got cmake to run on VMS?
I am prepared to put in the effort to get cmake to run on OpenVMS. Looking at a mail-thread ( http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/cmake/2006-October/011622.html) posted earlier I can answer those questions: 1.) Is it command-line based? Does it support scripting in any form? ANSWER: Yes it is command line based, and it does support scripting called DCL - which is not compatible in anyway unix versions of *sh 2.) What would the build sequence look like for a simple hello-world.cprogram? ANSWER: $ CC /OBJECT=hello-world.OBJ hello-world.c $ LINK hello-world.obj /EXECUTABLE=hello-world.EXE C++ is similar $ CXX /OBJECT=hello-world.OBJ hello-world.cpp $ CXXLINK hello-world.OBJ /EXECUTABLE=hello-world.EXE 3.) Is there a make tool or native build tool of some kind? ANSWER: Yes there's a utility called MMS which uses a syntax very similar to make with some key differences ( http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/73FINAL/5825/5825_014.htm - look at Appendix B) My plan of attack for porting cmake - would be to port the bootstrap file to use the DCL scripting language, and then go from there trying to build it. Is this a sensible way to go?
