On Windows, one normally runs NMAKE to build ooRexx. Is that the case
for the portable version as well? I.e. after running CMAKE and NMAKE to
do the build, would one then run "NMAKE portable" to create the two zip
files?

After creating ooRexx with CMake you can now issue "make portable" and
get two zip-archives as a result, one containing the runtime, one
containing all files including documentation and samples.
To use: just unzip any of the zip archives go into the directory and
issue: "setupoorexx.cmd" (Windows) "setupoorexx.sh" (Unix). The
resulting readme.txt file documents the generated scripts that allow
one to use the contained ooRexx.
Use the generated script "rxenv.cmd" (Windows), "rxenv.sh" (Unix):
this script sets the local environment to point first to the portable
ooRexx interpreter and then runs the supplied program with the
arguments, e.g. (Windows):
rxenv.cmd rexx testoorexx.rex
Will run rexx.exe and supply it the contained Rexx program
"testoorexx.rex": testoorexx.rex will list the .rexxinfo data.
To set the session's environment to the portable ooRexx run the
generated "setenv2rxenv.cmd" (Unix: "export setenv2rxenv.sh") script.
In that case you merely need to:
rexx testoorexx.rex

As there were no objections I am planning on adding the "portable"
target to CMakeLists.txt and to add a new subdirectory named
"support" that will contain a "portable" directory containing the
support programs for creating portable ooRexx zip archives including
setupoorexx.{rex|cmd} which create the scripts to run ooRexx
(programs) from that location; if the location changes (e.g. if you
have the unzipped files on an USB-stick and use it on a different
computer) one merely needs to rerun setupoorexx.{rex|cmd} to get
everything adjusted. This way such portable versions can become part
of a toolbox for programmers that they can carry along on an USB
stick and have ooRexx available wherever they go to. :)
The link (for a now older version of ooRexx in portable form) from
the earlier posting below is still available for those who wish to
test such portable versions on Windows (32- and 64-bit, Linux
(64-bit) and/or MacOS (64-bit).

Inspired by Java/OpenJDK zip archives I tried to create "portable"
versions of ooRexx. Once unzipped, there is a simple, uniform
directory layout that is the same for all operating systems (bin,
doc, include, lib, samples).
In addition the unzipped directory includes a utility named
"setupoorexx.{cmd|sh}" and if run, creates two shell scripts, a
"rxenv.{sh|cmd}" and "setenv2rxenv.{sh|cmd}" which point/refer to
the local, unzipped ooRexx.
This way one can easily have a number of different "potable" ooRexx
interpreters with different revisions, bitnesses, release and debug
versions that can be run/tested at the same time on the same machine
(e.g. for development or testing or demonstration purposes).
It would be possible to carry those portable ooRexx interpreters on
an USB stick (and run them from there on any operating system after
running the setupoorexx shell script) or to place them on a local
network or even to attach them to a mail.
The cmake driven operation will create two versions, a full version
and a runtime version (the runtime version does not include the doc
and samples directories).
The scripts generated with "setupoorexx.{sh|cmd}" make it easy to
run Rexx programs without having ooRexx installed on a target system.

You will notice the differences in size depending whether it is the
debug or the release version and depending whether it is the full or
the runtime version.

If you can see utility in this, then I am more than happy to commit
the necessary changes to the project such that one simply needs to
issue "make portable".
You can download any of the above portable zip archives for your
operating system, unzip them, run the setupoorexx shell scripts and
study the readme.txt output.
