How To Install Cobol In Windows 7

Any of Micro Focus compilers will compile code for Windows 7, either for native win32 (32 or 64 bit code generation). Visual COBOL will compile code to.NET (offering multitargeting against.NET 2, 3, 3.5 or 4).

Being a zOS programmer and very familiar with Windows internalsI have to ask how the hell do you install Version 2? Further, in my experiments I can get cobc.exe version 2 to execute but the the underlying 'C' coupling of GCC fails with a godzillion 'C' diagnostics. Why is it that GNUCOBOL has such a penchant for Linux. Rihanna g4l download zippy. I would think that the vast majority of Cobol users are from a mainframe environment and have a Windows machine on their desktop.

Few Cobol programmers are steeped in any of the 250+ distros of Linux. There has to be any easier way to make GNUCOBOL Windows friendly, especially the install. The biggest turn off for me is the rambling on and on about Linux features in the documentation. To me such Linux focus diminishes significantly the broad based acceptance of GNUCOBOL. Why not devout some development time in the creation of a Windows centric implementation of GNUCOBOL. I was a 10 year employee of Micro Focus as a developer.

I did significant work with IBM at athe STL labs in San Jose. In other words I am well versed in Cobol and Windows implementations thereof. But for the life of me I cannot come closed to fathoming an coherent install process for GNUCOBOL in a Windows 7 environment. I am willing to help with such a project.
