Summary0003974: OpenVMS support
DescriptionA new feature is needed for CMake to function on OpenVMS operating systems. It should generate files that support MMS which is an OpenVMS make utility.

Some supporting information

VMS is command-line based and has extensive scripting capabilities. Compiling simple programs can be done as follows:

$ c64 hello_world_extended.c
$ link /exe=hello_world_extended.c some_lib/lib

There is an OpenVMS tool called MMS available which is similar to unix make files. This link describes MMS:

http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/73FINAL/5825/5825_.htm [^]

To start MMS, type:

$ mms

It uses descrip.mms files to define the build environment (equivalent to Makefile). An example is included here:

==================================================
.IGNORE
FFLAGS =
/FAST/OPT=(LEVEL=5,TUNE=EV68,INL=ALL)/OBJECT=$(MMS$TARGET_NAME).OBJ
FGENER = /ALIGN=(NATURAL, SEQUENCE)/ASSUME=NOACCURACY/OPT=(LEVEL=5,TUNE=GENERIC
,INL=ALL)/OBJECT=$(MMS$TARGET_NAME).OBJ_G

.FOR.OBJ
        $(FORT)$(FFLAGS) UD:$(MMS$TARGET_NAME).FOR
        $(FORT)$(FGENER) UD:$(MMS$TARGET_NAME).FOR
.FOR.INC
        $(FORT)$(FFLAGS) UD:$(MMS$TARGET_NAME).FOR
        $(FORT)$(FGENER) UD:$(MMS$TARGET_NAME).FOR

all :: uct_reconstruction.exe, uct_reconstruction.exe_generic
        write sys$output "UCT_RECONSTRUCTION.EXE generated"

uct_reconstruction.exe :: -

I'm assigning this to myself because I asked the reporter to submit it.

If CMake support for OpenVMS is added, someone needs to run a dashboard at a minimum, and best case give remote access to cmake developers to the machine. But if we spend the time to get it working, then to keep it working a nightly dashboard would have to be in place. Also, does gmake build for VMS? It might be a quicker path for getting something working.

GNUmake is available (at least version 3.60) from here http://h71000.www7.hp.com/freeware/freeware80/ [^] (and maybe other places, scroll down to make). So, using gnu make in vms is possible, but mms and mmk (free version of mms) also use Make syntax as far as i know.

HTH,
Werner

IF they use make sytanx then it should work, there are no gmake specific constructs in cmake makefiles. However, if it is not a standard make, then it will not work. Basically, someone has to try this... I am thinking gmake will be the easiest way to get it working. Then of course there is the compiler flags and such.

We've made some progress on OpenVMS support, but I've run out of time for now.
I've been working on a system with GNV bash and make.

After the commits below I can bootstrap and get a generated build tree for CMake (currently with one error that is worked around by running "Bootstrap_cmk/cmake ." again by hand). The resulting build tree almost completes, failing only because of a mismatched .EXE extension on the CMake binaries.
