Gnu Cobol Support

This project is part of the GNU Project.GnuCOBOLGnuCOBOL is a free, modern COBOL compiler. GnuCOBOL implements a substantial part of the COBOL 85, COBOL 2002 and COBOL 2014 standards and X/Open COBOL, as well as many extensions included in other COBOL compilers (IBM COBOL, MicroFocus COBOL, ACUCOBOL-GT and others).GnuCOBOL translates COBOL into C and compiles the translated code using a native C compiler.Build COBOL programs on various platforms, including GNU/Linux, Unix, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows. GnuCOBOL has also been built on HP/UX, z/OS, SPARC, RS6000, AS/400, along with other combinations of machines and operating systems.While being held to a high level of quality and robustness, GnuCOBOL does not claim to be a “Standard Conforming” implementation of COBOL.GnuCOBOL passes over 9700 of the NIST COBOL 85 test suite tests and nearly 900 internal checks during build.GnuCOBOL owes many thanks to Roger While and Keisuke Nishida, developing the compiler since 2005.GnuCOBOL was named GNU Cobol from September 2013 (where the project moved to GNU space) to September 2014.

Before becoming a GNU project the name was OpenCOBOL with the same free spirit under GPL/LGPL it has now.NoteFor more information see.Registration Date: Tue 01 Oct 2013 05:18:45 AM UTCLicense:Development Status: 5 - Production/Stable.

• COBOL is not particularly popular on Linux but there are compilers available. One of these is open-cobol. First step is to check if it's installed on your system: it.
• First step is to check if it's installed on your system: it probably isn't. Whereis cobc; which cobc cobc: If like my system it is not installed you can install it with.

I have a problem with installing gnucobol 2.2.I get an error message telling me there's no c compiler found. I run windows10 on my laptop $./configurechecking for a BSD-compatible install.

/usr/bin/install -cchecking whether build environment is sane. Yeschecking for a thread-safe mkdir -p. /usr/bin/mkdir -pchecking for gawk.

Gawkchecking whether make sets $(MAKE). Nochecking whether make supports nested variables. Nochecking whether CFLAGS can be modified. Yeschecking for gcc. Nochecking for xlc.

Nochecking for cc. Noconfigure: error: in `/cygdrive/c/gnucobol-2.2-rc':configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATHSee `config.log' for more detailscan someone please help me with this problem?thank you:).
