If you have an instance of a program which has hung,
I would attach to it with a debugger and see where it
is, what it is doing (or not doing in this case)
and what it is waiting for.

So….no ideas nowhere nohow?

We have:

-          Reinstalled CMake

-          Reinstalled Cygwin

-          Tried a tiny, two-line CMakeLists.txt in an empty directory:

*cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 2.6)*

*project(TEMP C)

*

The command line to CMake (in a .bat file) is:

*cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE:string="%~dp0\zosport.cmake" -G"Unix Makefiles" .\*

* *

This works (well, works on the “good” machines, fails in the same way on the bad) from the command line in that otherwise empty directory, provided the %~dp0 is replaced with the appropriate path.

- Tried CMake on the same machine, with a Windows build (the failing case is for cross-compiling – I should have noted that before); it worked.

So on this one machine, CMake isn’t totally busted, but DOES NOT like cross-compiling. The contents of zosport.cmake are:

*# This is a CMake Toolchain file, required for cross-compiling using*

*# the Dignus cross-compilers on Windows, compiling for z/OS.*

* *

*# Tell CMAKE the target system name*

*SET(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME "IBM_ZOS")*

* *

*# Specify the cross-compilers*

*SET(CMAKE_C_COMPILER   "regina.exe" "cc.rex dcc.exe")*

*SET(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER "regina.exe" "cc.rex dcxx.exe")*

* *

*SET(CMAKE_C_CREATE_STATIC_LIBRARY "DAR -rv <TARGET> <OBJECTS>")*

* *

*SET(CMAKE_CXX_LINK_EXECUTABLE "plink.exe \"-S$ENV{DIGNUS_PROGRAM}/objs_norent/&M\" <OBJECTS> -o <TARGET>")*

*SET(CMAKE_C_LINK_EXECUTABLE "plink.exe \"-S$ENV{DIGNUS_PROGRAM}/objs_norent/&M\" <OBJECTS> -o <TARGET>")*

The IBM_ZOS.cmake in the Platform\ directory contains:

*INCLUDE(Platform/UnixPaths)*

And that’s about all I can see that’s specific to the cross-compiling. Since the problem occurs in the parameters it uses to call the compiler, it doesn’t seem to be the compiler that’s at fault.

This is driving me nuts, and it’s almost certainly something dumb. One of my CMake users lost a hard drive and had to reimage.

Now she’s installed CMake 2.8 and it LOOKS like it’s all OK, but any attempt to do a CMake hangs because the attempt to compile CMakeCCompilerId.c winds up passing a bunch of flags and then “-o CMakeCCompilerId.c” – that is, the -o flag, TWO spaces, and then CMakeCCompilerId.c. So there’s no output file specification; the input filespec becomes the output, and the compiler dutifully waits for input from stdin.

Now, I think I’ve seen this before, but I’m damned if I can remember what causes it. As far as I can tell, the compiler call is generated within cmake.exe, which kinda makes it hard to debug.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance…
