GCC COBOL

This is an experimental implementation of a COBOL frontend for GCC:

• gcc-cobol-0.2.tar.gz (The frontend)
• open-cobol-0.12.tar.gz (Preprocessor and run-time library)

How to install

1. Install OpenCOBOL 0.12.

   See http://www.open-cobol.org/ for details.

2. Check out the source code of GCC 3.3 (branch gcc-3_3-branch) from the CVS repository.

   See http://gcc.gnu.org/cvs.html for details.

3. Uncompress the COBOL frontend "gcc-cobol-x.x.tar.gz".

   A subdirectory named `cobol' will be created. Move `cobol' into GCC's source directory `${GCC}/gcc/', where ${GCC} is the top directory of GCC's source tree.

4. Create a build directory for GCC. Build GCC like this:

        ${GCC}/configure --enable-languages="c cobol"
        make bootstrap
   

   See http://gcc.gnu.org/install/ for details.

5. Two binaries `gcc/gcb' and `gcc/cobc1' will be there. Install them in anywhere you want.
