Open Cobol 2.0 Binaries? May be lot of you ("Open Cobolers") are "hard *ux" people who are brave enough to build OC from sources but, just guessing. there are many hobbyest as I that are not so versed on gcc/bin utils and so, so, someone has "stable" binaries of OC 2 for Windows? Or packaged for Ubuntu?
Regards. |

Re: Open Cobol 2.0 Binaries? 2.0 is not released yet.
I've been studying Fedora package building, so when the time comes, I'll be trying my hardest to create a quality binary RPM when it rolls. And no doubt the capable people at Debian will do the same for .deb. Cheers, Brian |

Re: Open Cobol 2.0 Binaries? I just spent the weekend following Gary Cuttlers documentation for MinGW to prep for creating a MinGW package for OC 2.
I have been unsuccessful since BDB 5.0.28 fails consistently with the latest MinGW. I even tried the version Gary stated in his docs. Still no joy. I am wondering if there is an issue with Win7. I may try WinXP the next go around. The OC 1.1 MinGW from Gary works just fine under Win7 though my father is complaining heavily about a destructive cursor when doing ACCEPT. I am trying to get the source from him and reproduce the issue before I get into detail. ANyway, if anyone has any insight into getting BDB installed in the latest MinGW on Win7 I would be thankful. And gladly provide a MinGW distro once OC 2.0 hits GA Cheers! |

Re: Open Cobol 2.0 Binaries? A huge THANK YOU to all those and all those who think users MSWindows (XP/W7 32/64) during the release of version 2.
Hopefully we will also have a correct management of the enhanced keyboard (numeric keypad). Thanks again in advance |

Re: Open Cobol 2.0 Binaries? You can be sure that there are "persons" taking care for Win users, even in the development
![]() When 2.0 is ready (whenever this will be) I will provide binaries for MS C (and WATCOM if I can get it working again), but as I only have access to the free version of the MS C compiler, I'm only able to provide Win32-binaries. I'm quite sure Sergey will provide binaries for every system he currently does, including 64 bit for Win, within a short period of time after 2.0 release. And to make you happy: all necessary patches for numeric keyboard from "a person" were included by Roger months ago - they work fine. @aouizerate: There ist still the translators needed topic. As there isn't a french version yet, you may contact Bear and decide if/how it's possible to come up with a french translation (plese let all public discussions to this topic take place there) @DamonH: if you don't need ISAM at all there is a configure switch --without-db (no ISAM implementation at all--> no BDB) and the switch --with-vbisam (Should build on MinGW without problems). human |
