To create an Win32 binary file, TC (minGW edition) does require
the GNU C compiler (GCC) and assembler (AS), which are found in
MinGW [1, 2].
Past release of MinGW contained all, including GCC ans AS as one single download.
Newer versions of MinGW have been separated into several packages.
This approach is confusing, even for the experienced user.
Since TC does not require advanced C features, I would suggest down-loading an older version of MinGW [3], and win32api [4]. Optional is MSYS [5].
Just fallow the instructions in the 'readme.mingw32.txt' file.
Sample COBOL sources can be found in the 'tinycobol-0.66.src.zip'[5] file.
To build just change to directory and type 'make'.
1) http://www.mingw.org/
2) http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/
3) MinGW-3.1.0-1
4) w32api-2.4
5) MSYS-1.0.7-i686-2
6) tinycobol-0.66.src.zip
