[Tiny-cobol-users] Building Tiny Cobol

[Hopetoun T. <ho...@co...>]

Hi

A couple of people have had trouble compiling tinycobol on their =
systems.  I was one of them, however after much trial and error I have =
successfully built tinycobol on my Ubuntu system.

You MUST download and install the berkley db library 1.85.4 and the =
yacc-1.9.3-1 packages along with the tinycobol package.

I found that you must remove the version of flex that comes with your =
installation and install flex-old.  I used flex-old 2.5.4a-7.

then in the tinycobol source code directory type

./configure --with-yacc=3Dyacc193

then I generally do=20

make=20

then=20

make install

you will still get some warnings but they shouldn't matter.

regards
