Install GnuCobol 3.1.2

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I do not see how to install the GnuCobol package on Windows 10, in fact
I am looking for a "setup.exe" but the installation procedure may be
different from the software on windows ...
Could you tell me how to install GnuCobol 3.1.2?
Thank you for your help,

Regards,

Jeepy

Go to https://www.arnoldtrembley.com/GnuCOBOL.htm

Go down to

GnuCOBOL Compiler install binaries

select the system that matches your requirements

There are also build guides a little further down that will help you
installing.

Here is a good link:

https://www.arnoldtrembley.com/GC312-BDB-SP2-rename-7z-to-exe.7z

My Web page provide does not allow me to serve ".exe" files, so the download is a 7-Zip file. But if you rename the file extension from ".7z" to ".exe", you can run as a self-extracting archive. It will prompt you for a folder to install to. I recommend something like "C:\GnuCOBOL". Then after the folder is created look for the STARTHERE.txt file.

You can also open a CMD.EXE window, navigate to that folder, and run the "testgc.cmd" script which will compile and execute a sample COBOL program.

Please feel free to ask questions in this forum.

Kind regards,
