GnuCOBOL environment

Configuration ot the GnuCOBOL compiler occurs in two ways :

• through command line options (e.g. option --free) and
• through the execution environment (see variables below).

set COB_CC=%COB_HOME%\mingw64\bin\gcc.exe
set COB_CFLAGS=-pipe -I%%COB_HOME%\include -Wno-unused -fsigned-char -Wno-pointer-sign
set COB_LIBS=-L "%COB_HOME%\lib" -lcob
set COB_CONFIG_DIR=c%COB_HOME%\config
set COB_COPY_DIR=%COB_HOME%\copy

Note: The environment variable COB_CONFIG_DIR must be set for compiler option -std=cobol2002 in order to find the corresponding configuration file.
GnuCOBOL 3.2 provides the following configuration files :

> echo %COB_CONFIG_DIR%
C:\opt\GnuCOBOL\config
 
> dir /s /b C:\opt\GnuCOBOL\config\*.conf
C:\opt\GnuCOBOL\config\acu-strict.conf
