[open-cobol-list] How to compile the translated code using GCC?

[henry wang]

Hi Gentlemen,

 

Everyone knows "OpenCOBOL translates COBOL into C and compiles the translated code using GCC."
But my test of compiling the translated code (hello.c) using GCC failed.

Probably the desired options were not set?
Could you give me a tip about how to compile it using GCC?
      
The simple  was use:
---------------------   hello.cob  ------------------------
       IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
       PROGRAM-ID. hello.
       ENVIRONMENT DIVISION. 
        PROCEDURE DIVISION.
            DISPLAY "Hello, OpenCOBOL!".
-------------------------------------------------------------
commands carried out:
$ cobc hello.cob -C -fixed -fmain
(The hello.c was correctly generated.)

$ gcc hello.c
errors occurred:
../Temp/ccjtf8sE.o:hello.c:(.text+0x7e): undefined reference to `_cob_init'
../Temp/ccjtf8sE.o:hello.c:(.text+0x8b): undefined reference to `_cob_stop_run'
../Temp/ccjtf8sE.o:hello.c:(.text+0xad): undefined reference to `_cob_current_module'
and so on.

 

Best regards,
Henry
