IMHO it is not worth maintaining a full set of EBCDIC source
files just to support z/OS - I personally just use a very basic perl
script that recursively converts all the c source/makefiles into EBCDIC
and leaves the files that do not need conversion alone.
Then the build process for z/OS will be slight different. We need to modify
the build scripts to add the
conversion stage,
Yes, this would be good. I wasn't sure exactly how to do this but it's
probably possible. We'd need to check each file to see whether it has
already been converted into EBCDIC and, if not, carry out the conversion.
and we (in fact, it's you :) ) also need to contribute the
perl conversion tool. Right?
I don't mind contributing the little script I use, although if we can
get the automatic conversion working as you suggest I think this would
be a much better solution.

It's not a
perfect solution, but it's quick and fairly pain free :)

To build on z/OS, do we need also to convert build script such as
build.xmland
defines.mk etc. into z/OS specific encoding - EBCDIC?
If that's the case, do we need to maintain a separate build script set
for
z/OS?
Whether these z/OS specific build scripts readable on other platform?

Hi all,
I've been working away on ports to PPC Linux 32/64 and z/OS 31/64 for
some time now and thought it was about time I sent an update to the
list
on my progress.
On Linux PPC I have run the Harmony tests using a specially made J9
VME.
32 bit completes with a >99% pass rate and 64bit completes with a >96%
pass rate. The vast majority of the failures are in the swing and awt
modules, which is probably caused by machine setup and possibly also
some missing tweaks here and there to the native code port for those
modules. Most of the code changes for this port are already checked
into
Harmony SVN.
The z/OS porting work is ongoing. You may have noticed from the build
break yesterday that I am starting to check in some changes to
makefiles
;) Im planning to trickle in further z/OS specific code/build system
changes over the coming weeks. As far as progress goes, I am able
(again
with a specially made J9 VME) to run simple classes and I am getting to
the point where I can run small sections of the Harmony tests, although
a problem with file reading is currently preventing me from running the
whole suite.
fyi the new platform architecture strings (os.arch) for z/OS 31 and 64
bit are s390 and s390x respectively. There are some special build
instructions for z/OS which I will put up either on the wiki or the
website when I get closer to completing the port. For now there are
still numerous changes to be made to the Harmony codebase before it
will
be buildable on zSeries.
Regards,
Oliver
