COBOL Utilities Project

OpenCOBOL MinGW (32-bit) edition. This version was build using VB-ISAM as the ISAM file option. Prerequisites to run compiler binaries: - A version of MinGW installed on your system. - Compiler, run-time and module load and run utility. - Support libraries GMP, PDcurses and ISAM, must be installed on your system. Note: The compiler can be run from a CMD console, and does not require MSYS. Prerequisites to build MinGW compiler from source: - A version of MinGW installed on your system. - Support libraries GMP, PDcurses and ISAM, must be installed on your system. - A version of MSYS installed on your system. Important note: The build scripts are based on automake tools, which require MSYS tools to run properly. File listing: opencobol-1.1-20090206-ALL.mingw.zip - Compiler, Run-Time and module load and run utility. - PDcurses library version version 2.4. - ISAM library VB-ISAM version 2.0. - GMP library version 4.2.1. opencobol-1.1-20090206-DEPS.mingw.zip - PDdcurses library version version 2.4. - ISAM library VB-ISAM version 2.0. - GMP library version 4.2.1. opencobol-1.1-20090206.mingw.exe - Compiler, Run-Time and module load and run utility in setup program format. opencobol-1.1-20090206.mingw.zip - Compiler, Run-Time and module load and run utility. open-cobol-1.1-20090206.tar.bz2 - Source code. Important note: The build scripts are based on automake tools, which require MSYS be installed on your system. opencobol-1.1-20090206.zip - Build instructions and Inno setup script. Installation using setup or zip files: - Install compiler and support libraries (as required) in the MinGW directory. The default path is 'mingw-dir/local' (ex: C:\mingw\local). - Add the BIN path (ex: C:\mingw\local\bin) to the PATH environment variable. NT/Win2K/XP/Vista/Win7 users (CMD): The environment variables are set in the registry on a global or per user basis. Use the properties sheet to set the environment variables values. Example (W2K user level): Left-click 'My Computer', select 'properties', select Advanced on the System properties tab, select 'Environment Variables' option. Change the 'PATH' System variables and append the OC binary path. Example: PATH=...;C:\mingw\local\bin - Open CMD window and test OC (cobc --version or cobc --help). - Try test compile and run from CMD window using a COBOL source Examples: exe: cobc -x -v test01.cob test01.exe dll: cobc -m -v test02.cob -o test02.dll cobcrun.exe test02
