xref 32bit in a 64bit environment

[Brian]

hi guys,

I'd appreciate your help again and as requested by Simon I'm creating this topic for a better knowledge base.
I'm currently using Ubuntu 64bit with GNU Cobol 2.0, see below:

I tried to use the -Xref parameter recently but it didn't work for whatever reason
So I'm calling it as usual with ./cobxref but get the following response:

./cobxref: error while loading shared libraries: libcob.so.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

Alright this obviously has to do with me having a 64bit installation of gnu-cobol and a needed 32bit library for cobxref. I already installed the i386 package for ubuntu for the other requirements of cobxref.

My questions:
(1) Is there a possibility to get cobxref working with the 64bit library?
(2) The cobxref.cbl currently online at SF does not compile. Is the updated version released soon?

cobxref.cbl: In section 'ba000-Process-WS':
cobxref.cbl: In paragraph 'ba020-GetAWord':
cobxref.cbl: 1428: Error: Invalid MOVE statement

.c version of cobxref gives me some errors too.

(3) I already stated this in one of my recent threads and re-posted it on someone else's thread
is there a possibility to check whether the output of cobc -P not showing comments is a bug or intended?

best wishes,
Brian
