Do you mean the real MAKE utility? HP's MMS shoud be available on IA64 as well as the free alternative MMK (see freeware archives).
The site http://h71000.www7.hp.com/advantage/index.html contains some documents on porting to IA64.

GNU make, version 3.81, is available for download from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/. It runs on VMS Alpha and I64.

Archunan,
As Karl mentioned, there is:
MMS from HP
MMK (the MadGoat MaKe utility) from http://www.madgoat.com
MMK (somewhat case aware/sensitive) from http://www.quadratrix.be/opensource_material.html
As for porting from VMS on Alpha cq. VAX to VMS on Integrity, there are a few (a lot of) members of the VMS community active in that area. E.g. Bruden OSSG, Migration Specialties International, PARSEC Group, Quadratrix, and others.
Documentation about porting can be found at
http://www.quadratrix.be/opensource_material.html

Archunan,

The link on documentation about porting should be:
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/porting.html

Sorry about this error.

Archunan,

What we normaly use(d) is CMS/MMS including the sensative editor (EVE+language).
The script using on these tools should be working on IA64.

Thanks to all of your information.

Kris C: case sensitive? MMK? do you talk about case sensitive filename?

AvR: Do you involve in porting currently?, I have already installed MMS, CMS and LSE. Do you face any problems?

Thanks
Archie.

Hartmut Becker seems using Gnu Make on IA64. Are you involving in porting?

AvR: have you tried Gnu Make and difficulties using this than MMS or MMK?

I, as usual, do not understand the question.

Why do you need any new tools for Itanium
which you are not already using on Alpha?

MMK and MMS are available on Alpha and
Itanium, as would be practically any other
tools. Most code which works on Alpha should
also work on Itanium (unless you said "#ifdef
alpha" instead of "#ifndef vax").

What are you trying to do that you need new
tools to do it?

Stewen,

We have couple of old make utilities by Todd and modified by Ned Freed, the version is V3.4-2. MAKE-PERRY by jesse-Perry. These utilities been released 1990's. As we have many makescript files, we did not go MMK amd MMS to avoid time delays. But we had many problems with those scripts, still we are using it after little modifications.

Now we don't want to use that even if it availabloe for Itanium. I thought there may be similar kind of freeware make utility for Itanium too which very simple than MMS and MMK.

I understand from the above responses, we will have to use either MMS, MMK or Gnu make only.

What is your suggestion Stewen?
