I've had problems in the use of TinyCOBOL in mingw too. 

Info:

- My Windows is Win98, second version.
- I install the Mingw 1.0.1 version(gcc is 2.95.3 version) in following directory:
c:\lang\mingw

- My gcc is installed in following directory:
c:\lang\mingw\lib\gcc-lib\mingw32\2.95.3-5

- My TinyCOBOL(0.58 version) is installed in following directories:
c:\lang\mingw\lib\gcc-lib\mingw32\2.95.3-5\bin (binaries)
c:\lang\mingw\lib\gcc-lib\mingw32\2.95.3-5\lib (libraries)
c:\lang\mingw\lib\gcc-lib\mingw32\2.95.3-5\include (includes db/getopt/pdcurses)
c:\lang\mingw\lib\gcc-lib\mingw32\2.95.3-5\doc (documentation)
c:\lang\mingw\lib\gcc-lib\mingw32\2.95.3-5\share\htcobol

- I install the TinyCOBOL-devel in following directory:
c:\lang\mingw\lib\gcc-lib\mingw32\2.95.3-5\tinycobol-0.58

- In file maktc.bat, I set the paths in the following way:
set TCOB_OPTIONS_PATH=C:\lang\mingw\lib\gcc-lib\mingw32\2.95.3-5\share\htcobol
set TCOB_PP_PATH=C:\lang\mingw\lib\gcc-lib\mingw32\2.95.3-5\bin

and after, I run it.

But in the compilation, occurs the same errors described by Michel.

See the errors:

C:\lang\mingw\lib\gcc-lib\mingw32\2.95.3-5\tinycobol-0.58\test.code\t01>make
htcobol -c -P  test01a.cob
htcobol: *** WARNING - Unknown resource file option 'COMPILE_DEFAULT:'. Ignoring.
htcobol: *** WARNING - Unknown resource file option 'NO_DEBUG_LINES:'. Ignoring.

gcc: test01a.o: No such file or directory
C:\LANG\MINGW\BIN\MAKE.EXE: *** [test01a.o] Error 1

If I comment this directives in TinyCOBOL resource file, the makefile show the following results:

C:\lang\mingw\lib\gcc-lib\mingw32\2.95.3-5\tinycobol-0.58\test.code\t01>make
htcobol -c -P  test01a.cob
gcc -g -o test01a test01a.o     -lhtcobol -lm
gcc: test01a.o: No such file or directory
C:\LANG\MINGW\BIN\MAKE.EXE: *** [test01a.o] Error 1

Note that the compiler use '-c' switch to compile. If I modify the makefile to compile using '-S' switch, it compile with no errors...

C:\lang\mingw\lib\gcc-lib\mingw32\2.95.3-5\tinycobol-0.58\test.code\t01>make
htcobol -S -P  test01a.cob
as -o test01a.o test01a.s
gcc -g -o test01a.exe test01a.o     -lhtcobol -lm

In use of the '-c', '-x' and '-m' switch, occurs errors, and the final binary/library file isn't have had generated.

I'm wrong in something?

Thank you for your help!
