Just download the source and build TC as follows.
./configure
make
make install (as su)
Set the envirioment variables as in the following example.
TCOB_OPTIONS_PATH=/usr/local/share/htcobol
TCOB_RTCONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/share/htcobol
Then compile any test programs found in the test.code directory, as in
the following example.
Using a make file:
make
Using the command line (Fixed source format):
htcobol -v -x -F sample-program.cob
BTW, if you download version 0.63, you may run into the follwing problem.
There is a macro 'define' problem with flex versions greater that 2.5.4.
This will cause TC to fail to compile with the following error message.

This is caused by the following macro 'define', as found in scan.l:61.
#define YY_DECL int yylex2 YY_PROTO((void))
The following code will fix the problem for all version (I hope) of flex.
#ifdef YY_USE_PROTOS
#define YY_DECL int yylex2 YY_PROTO((void))
#else
#define YY_PROTO(proto) (void)
#define YY_DECL int yylex2(void)
#endif
This is not an issue with the CVS version.
Hope this helps.
