If you consider Pascal in that category, you might look into the
Free Pascal Compiler

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2174

Please define old programming language if Pascal doesn't cut it.

Have you tried to compile the example program using:

$ cob -C hello.cob

This will result in a .c source file that you can then look at.
If you get this far successfully, then the issue is the C compiler,
not open cobol.

I'm going to fire up my linux on powerpc (powermac g3 running YDL 4.0)
and see if I can make open cobol work.

what version of linux on powerpc are you running?

'uname -a' or 'cat /etc/*-release'

Just finished building/installing open-cobol-1.0 on my YDL 4.0
system:

$ uname -a
Linux pmac.hobbeshollow.com 2.6.8-1.ydl.7 #1 Fri Oct 1 09:28:52 CEST 2004
ppc ppc ppc GNU/Linux
$ ls -l /etc/*release*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 37 May 21 2004 /etc/yellowdog-release
$ cat /etc/yellowdog-release
Yellow Dog Linux release 4.0 (Orion)

Open-cobol-1.0 compiled without any issues, and installed perfectly.
I then compiled the same sample I did with the intel version - got
a working executable ('Hello World') and then used the -C option to
see the source code.

$ rpm -qa | grep gcc
gcc-3.3.3-16.ydl.4
libgcc-3.3.3-16.ydl.4
gcc-c++-3.3.3-16.ydl.4

Since I'm successfully working, I do not know what to tell you.

that's a testing release it could be buggy.

if you are interest in old stuff, suggest you install a stable
release.

ydl4. is about like debian sarge i think.

you can maybe run the older release with mac-on-linux (that boots
linux too not just macos) if you don't want to dual boot. still,
its good to have a stable release on hand with testing/unstable
in case of a major problem (they do occurr).

strange

in archlinux gcc 4.2.2 is in stable, but there is a gcc3-3.3.6-1 too

is possible have 2 gcc and use gcc3 only on opencobol ?

[s***@gmail.com]

oh it works

with -x parameter it works



thankyou

and

sorry

Yes. You can specify which gcc to use from the environmental variable
CC:

export CC=gcc-3

or by just calling it explicitly:

gcc-3 whatever.c
