I try opencobol : result not working

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.

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.


I try gambas: I have segm. fault

what version of linux on powerpc are you running?

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