Trinity's cmake config is different (more comprehensive), and not a good test for mangos.

Something seems wrong if the exact same thing happens to you on two different platforms... it should be able to find cmake/FindPlatform.cmake just fine

Can you send me the output of the following:

cd ~
pwd
mkdir mangos
cd mangos
mkdir bin
git clone git://github.com/mangos/server.git
cd server
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DPREFIX=~/mangos/bin

Yes, it quotes the file path so that cmake doesn't have issues when your mangos directory has spaces in the path

In CMakeLists.txt, there is a directive that tells cmake to find and require the Platform module:

find_package(Platform REQUIRED)

There is a FindPlatform.cmake file in the cmake directory that initializes the PLATFORM variable for cmake, which find_package should be able to find - or some reason, your system can't.

vi cmake-fix.patch         # write contents of my diff and save it
git apply cmake-fix.patch  # have git apply the changes described by the patch
                          # re-run cmake

Hmm, try this patch:
