OpenCOBOL 1.1pre-rel on Mac OS, thru VirtualBox

It works out pretty easy.

Install VirtualBox
Snag a pre-built Fedora-16 from Virtualboxes
Un 7z it
New it in as an existing disk
Log in
Resize to taste
Open a terminal

$ sudo yum install db4 db4-devel ncurses-devel gmp.devel
$ curl http://www.sim-basis.de/open-cobol-1.1.tar.gz >open-cobol-1.1.tar.gz
$ tar xvf open-cobol-1.1.tar.gz
$ cd open-cobol-1.1
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make check
$ sudo make install

$# now a little monkey game on Fedora
$#   sudo vi (create) /etc/ld.so.conf.d/opencobol.conf
$#   and place a single line in the conf file
$#       /usr/local/lib

$ sudo ldconfig

yay.cob

program-id. yay.
procedure division.
display "Yayyyy! OpenCOBOL" end-display.

Then

$ cobc -x -free -W -g -debug yay.cob
$ ./yay
Yayyyy! OpenCOBOL

Good to go. Yayyy. On a Mac, in about an hour of downloads and builds and things.

Cheers,
Brian
