[open-cobol-list] Has Anyone Tried Compiling OpenCOBOL on OpenSolaris?

[Kevin Monceaux]

COBOL Fans,

Has anyone tried compiling OpenCOBOL on OpenSolaris?  I've been checking 
occasionally on OpenCOBOL's progress.  I was excited recently to notice 
that a SCREEN SECTION has been implemented.  Now, if it only had embedded 
SQL ...

I'm currently running OpenSolaris Indiana:

SunOS Blaidd-Drwg 5.11 snv_93 i86pc i386 i86pc

and I'm not having any luck compiling OpenCOBOL.  I've installed Berkeley 
DB 4.4 via the package available from BlastWave.org's IPS repository, 
which installs the library files in:

/opt/csw/lib/bdb44/lib

and the header files in:

/opt/csw/lib/bdb44/include

I've tried various settings for CFLAGS and LDFLAGS.  I currently have:

LDFLAGS=-L/opt/csw/lib -L/opt/csw/bdb44/lib -L/usr/local/lib
CFLAGS=-I/opt/csw/include -I/opt/csw/bdb44/include -I/usr/local/include

When I run ./configure with the above flags set, it fails with:

checking for BDB db.h version >= 4.1 ... yes (4.4)
configure: error: Include file db.h implies version >=4.1 but no library 
found

Any tips on compiling on OpenSolaris would be greatly appreciated.


P.S.  Where can I find info on OpenCOBOL's SCREEN SECTION implementation?
