Hi;<br><br>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?
<br><br>I am prepared to put in the effort to get cmake to run on OpenVMS. Looking at a mail-thread (<a href="http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/cmake/2006-October/011622.html">http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/cmake/2006-October/011622.html
</a>) posted earlier I can answer those questions:<br>1.) Is it command-line based? Does it support scripting in any form?<br>ANSWER: Yes it is command line based, and it does support scripting called DCL - which is not compatible in anyway unix versions of *sh
<br>2.) What would the build sequence look like for a simple hello-world.c program?<br>ANSWER:<br>$ CC /OBJECT=hello-world.OBJ hello-world.c<br>$ LINK hello-world.obj /EXECUTABLE=hello-world.EXE<br>C++ is similar<br>$ CXX /OBJECT=
hello-world.OBJ hello-world.cpp<br>$ CXXLINK hello-world.OBJ /EXECUTABLE=hello-world.EXE<br><br>3.) Is there a make tool or native build tool of some kind?<br>ANSWER: Yes there's a utility called MMS which uses a syntax very similar to make with some key differences (

Is this a sensible way to go?
