[CMake] Cross-compiling for z/OS -- linker question

[Phil Smith]

OK, once I get it working for real, I'll do this.

But I think I confused you. ZOS is the OS (really z/OS). System z is the hardware platform. Dignus is the compiler.

So shouldn't the files be named Systemz-Dignus-C.cmake etc.?

Not much :-)

Yes, so we only need a ZOS-Dignus-C.cmake and ZOS-Dignus-CXX.cmake (and a
ZOS.cmake, which won't contain a lot).

If you want it to go into cmake cvs, it is necessary.
