I was able to build the project with these steps:

      - Open the "VS2013 x64 Cross Tools Command Prompt"

This is not something I'm familiar with...where do I find this? Also, if this is something only available if you have the full Visual Studio installed, that is a problem. We really need to have this project buildable using the free download version of the compiler.

It is a shortcut to vcvarsall.bat (with x86_amd64 as a parameter) in the windows start menu as installed (on my system) by the "VS Express 2013 for Desktop" (free edition).

      - Add  target_link_libraries(rexxapi ws2_32) to the end of
    CMakeLists.txt


what does the ws2_32 do?

ws2_32 is the windows' winsock2 library.
Without it I got unresolved symbols to winsock calls made by the project.
The existing comment in CMakeLists.txt about missing windows libraries implies that this is a known issue.

      - Create a "build" directory in the source directory

to you mean at the trunk root, or some other location? Do I need to copy the CMakeLists.txt or any other files there?

I created an empty directory called "build" inside the directory called "main".
I did not copy any files there.
CMake will fill the directory when invoked from within.
