Re: [open-cobol-list] problem 'make'ing open cobol 1.1 under cygwin

[Krishnamurthy Nagarajan]

Dear Brian,

Sorry for the delayed response. Thanks very much for pointing me to Gary Cutler's archive of documents and most
importantly the windows binaries.

It was a minimal GNU Windows build that I was doing (mingw32-make is the make utility), that was failing.

In any case, after I downloaded the binaries that Gary build and provided for free download, I was able to install open-cobol and run some sample COBOL to C translations and execute the programs.

Thanks very much to Gary.

best regards,
Nagarajan

Sorry, but I'm not sure I get your build environment.

There is mention of MinGW-make.  Is this a full one Cygwin build or a
mininal GNU Windows?

For MinGW I'd defer to Gary's work at
http://sourceforge.net/p/open-cobol/wiki/Gary%20Cutler%20Files/

For Cygwin, it may just be a blend of install features that is invoking MinGW.

We may have to iterate over a few passes to figure out what's what.

Cheers,
Brian
