Have a COBOL course that went thru this semester, and have the gnu-cobol working fine on my Fedora 23 machines. Have some students that don't have access to linux, so wanted to setup a way for them to do it with windows. Didn't want to setup something using the Microsoft C compiler, since as I understand it, it can only be used for evaluation purposes, and not for anything if it is free. Did some testing using Cygwin, and some things works and others didn't. Perhaps someone has done this more on this. I originally tried the 1.1 version, but the make check showed lots of failed tests. The version 2 I tried didn't have any test fail, but did show that some where skipped? Was trying things, so didn't take full notes, so probable installed some things there were not needed, but may have not installed something that would fix the few issues I still see. On Fedora I use gedit for the editor, but haven't figured how to get that to work. It has installed, but then comes with a message that it can not connect? Just switched to using nano instead for now. Here are the notes I had been making for students, but ended up just making a 7z archive of the cygwin directory, and it appears to work on similar machines, so havign to go the the process is simpler. Notes: Download cygwin setup program setup-x86_64.exe run it used defaults, but used http://mirros.kernel.org for site Additional Packages needed for gnu cobol search gcc under Devel added gcc-c* and Libs gmp - Devel Lib -Libgmpdevel libdb - Database ncurses make diff (Ran make check, and everything failed since the diff command was missing) Additional ones I needed for my setup nano dos2unix zip and unzip ncftp dialog Downloaded gnu-cobol-2.0_nightly_r658.tar.gz extracted and installed make check shows 17 test skipped, but no failures Results from earlier test using cobol-1.1 I was seeing test failures, but it may have been something was missing. ## --------------------------------------- ## ## OpenCOBOL 1.1 test suite: Syntax Tests. ## ## --------------------------------------- ## ## ------------- ## ## Test results. ## ## ------------- ## All 77 tests were successful.
