Many thanks to Chuck Haatvedt and Simon Sobisch for doing all the hard work on this. Chuck's menus allow building GnuCOBOL for compiler testing or for Production, either as 64-bit or 32-bit compilers, and with the following ISAM options:
No ISAM support
BDB 18.1.40 for ISAM
VBISAM 2.1.1
BDB 6.0.19 for ISAM, with the less restrictive SleepyCat license.
The kit includes the build guide in open office .docx format and PDF format, plus Windows .cmd scripts and MSYS2 shell scripts. A complete set of GnuCOBOL 3.2 manuals in PDF format is also included, and a handful of additional files for adding to a binary distribution.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
It's about 7.5 megabytes, and includes updates and corrections to the MSYS2 Build guide, plus updates to the GnuCOBOL and GCSORT manuals. The scripts will build GnuCOBOL
with the most current versions of gmplib (6.3.0), PDCursesMod (4.4.0), cJSON, and xmllib.
Special thanks again to Chuck Haatvedt.

It's only 4.6 megabytes.
