alien with special powers

Hi all- I just got agar to run in addition to cobol with cygwin and mingw. I thought it would be more useful to leave an agar summary. You have to follow Agar instructions under docs on their website. It would be helpful to set CC, CXX, MINGWROOT (You could set that in control panel too). Also, you need all the usual MINGW paths set in windows. WARNING: i fell asleep at the wheel and accepted the agar prefix on the libagar site. Only do that if you don't care if agar is not contained in its own place....

Hi all- I am trying to get with the people that are using the mingw tools. If you stay within the cygwin environment with gcc you are fine but i have no idea how to deploy the app because of the dir and file permissions. I am trying to compile gnucobol with mingw. I used the following variables: CC, CXX, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and of course set the paths to the binaries in windows. I cd into the source directory and execute mkdir build. Then, I cd into the build dir. Then run this: $ ../configure --prefix=/home/user/cobol-3.1-rc1...

Hi all- I got it guys. My eyes just got a little tired. You had to copy a defualt.conf into the extras in the build directory. Under gnucobol-3.1-rc1 i did: mkdir build cd build then I ran config ../configure and then all the switches and flags then when I went to make in the build directory first I just copied the file default.conf into the extras directory located in the newly created build directory. Evereything looks cool. As Achim pointed at out at cygwin I am not a cross platform developer...

Hi all- I wanted to leave my cygwin friends with a little help in installing agar on cygwin. It is related to cobol if you want to use guicobol. Notice in this pattern the current 1.6.0 has funny directory system. You may have to rearrange folders to get this pattern to work. The directory tree I use so it doesn't complain is: ~/agar-1.6.0 ~/agar-1.6.0/agar put lib include bin files in agar folder. It had set it up like lib bin include. I extracted those and dumped everything in the plain old agar...
