I suspect your family name is not Bellsouth... And that you're
brazilian too. Well, don't matter. Let's go.

To compile your program, you will need the generated copybook
(the .gui is only for the editor), the libraries, including tcl/tk, 
and the object file tcgui-run.o (from tcgui-run.c). This last is 
the only additional runtime required by TCGUI.
You may copy those files to where you want them.

As about your error with -ldb, maybe your library is named
something else (db1, db2,...). Of course, you will only need
libdb if you access files. Please check first some test code
accessing cobol files.

The makefiles were supposed to work inside our test.code
directory. If it is not working, it's a bug!

I suggest also you try to ask questions about TCGUI in
brazilian's mailing list, as there is a bunch of people already
trying TCGUI there. If I'm wrong (you're not brazilian), most of
us also speak/understand spanish/castellano, though I'm the most 
ignorant in spanish of the group.

Brazilian's TinyCOBOL mailing list is hosted by Cipsga.
