Re: Bug in gnucobol package?

[Simon Sobisch]

Hi Angel and welcome to GnuCOBOL.

I'm missing one important information - what "package" are you actually
refer to and how did you install this?

You can check with cobc --info where the compiler searches for its
configuration files and copybooks and also have noted by which
environment variables you can tweak this.

If you use any "kind of supported" packaging (Arnold Trembley's MinGW
Package or the MSYS2 packages) there is a set_env.cmd / cobenv.cmd that
you can call to setup those variables according to the current
installation path.

Background:
GnuCOBOL itself is not relocatable (just move around and have everything
working), that is a goal but currently no one is working on it so it may
take a while. So it only operates on the paths used during the initial
build which you can be override by environment variables.

BTW: if you want to send output to this list - please don't use images,
when you can mark the text on the console (cmd/ps/mintty/..) and using
context menu copy/paste.
