This *should* be covered in the GnuCOBOL manual. Either something like cobc -static bar.cob foo.cob or (likely more reasonable with bigger environments using make) something like the following all: foobar SUFFIXES = .cob .$(COB_OBJECT_EXT) FOOBAR_OBJECTS = foo.$(COB_OBJECT_EXT) bar.$(COB_OBJECT_EXT) .cob.$(COB_OBJECT_EXT): cobc -static -c $< foobar: $(FOOBAR_OBJECTS) cobc -static $(FOOBAR_OBJECTS) $< Simon
