    Hi folks.
    This is on Windows 10
    I downloaded the arnoldtrembley zipped package of MinGW + GNUCobol.
    Unzipped to a MinGW dir, added appropriate path statements. Then ran cobc -v
    I get the following error

    cobc (GnuCOBOL) 3.1.2.0
Built.   Jul 05 2021 22:53:56  Packaged  Dec 23 2020 12:04:58 UTC
C version (MinGW) "6.3.0"
loading standard configuration file 'default.conf'
configuration error
default.conf: No such file or directory

    When I go look I find the default.conf at c:\MinGW2\config location.

    Do I need to add that to my pathing?
    Do I need to download GnuCOBOL and re-build it?
    Thanks for your input.

      Did you run "set_env.cmd" to set all the GnuCOBOL environment variables?
