[Tiny-cobol-users] tinycobol-0.63 on windows - got it working

[Jürgen W. <ju...@ya...>]

Hi,

OK, I finally got tinycobol-0.63 to work on
windows/Mingw, thanks to Fernando Wuthstrack.

The road to success:

ran MinGW-4.1.0.exe

[x] The minimal set of packages to build C/C++
[x] the full set of compiler packages
[x] The full set of utility packages

ran msysDTK-1.0.1.exe (probably unnecessary, as this
is allready installed by the previous step, is it?)

(I find the MingW install page highly confusing with
its many, many different packages).


Downloaded pdcurses-2.6.0-2003.07.21-1.exe

installed to E:\MinGW, so it got to E:\MinGW\lib


Unzipped db-1.85-ac.mingw32.zip 
db.h to e:\mingw\include
libdb.a to e:\mingw\lib

Tried make:

E:\tinycobol-0.63\test.code\t00>make
gcc -g -o teste teste.o  -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib
-L../../lib -lhtcobol -lncurses -ldb -ldl -lm
gcc.exe: no input files
make: *** [teste] Error 1

By chance tried mingw32-make.exe and the error went
away. (Why ????)

in E:\MinGW\lib
copied libpdcurses.a to libncurses.a

Next had to remove the -ldl from the makefile and add
-L/TinyCOBOL and finally I had my first Cobol exe.

Maybe somebody could put this report on the TC Wiki.


The TinyCOBOL should include some typical samples, so
the user can quickly have success in compiling and
running the samples. Maybe even a somewhat bigger
program?
I discovered only by chance that there are test
sources in the TC source package.

Thanks,
Jürgen


PS: The compiler breaks in test15
