[open-cobol-list] COB_SHARED_OPT on OpenSolaris

[Kevin Monceaux]

OpenCOBOL Fans,

I recently installed OpenCOBOL(1.1.0) on my OpenSolaris box.  Today while 
trying to compile COBcurses I discovered a minor problem.  COB_SHARED_OPT 
got set to -shared but on OpenSolaris it needs to be set to -G.  Looking 
at the configure script, which I'm a complete novice at, it looks like it 
sets COB_SHARED_OPT to -G on a Solaris host if $CC != gcc.  On my box at 
least it would appear to need to be set to -G when using gcc also.

After getting that fixed, I'm now getting errors such as:

libcobcurses_codegen.cob:756: Error: syntax error, unexpected "Literal", 
expecting "Identifier"

on statements such as:

    WRITE GENWS-LINE FROM "        01  SCREEN-TEXT.".

I'm still searching for the cause of the above.
