Re: [open-cobol-list] OC compiled for 64 bit?

[Michael Anderson]

I know this may not actually help with your problem, but.......
Maybe if your distro of Linux has a (yum/apt) software repo, this may help.

Since receiving your email,
I built 64-bit a virtual machine,
installed Ubuntu 13.04 64-bit on it,

Then:
sudo apt-get install open-cobol
Copied a source file from my 32-bit machine.
compiled that source file (reads and analyses a mail logfile.), more than just 'hello world'

I copied a mail logfile from my 32-bit machine,
the program compiled and ran without issues, not even a warning.

Hi;

 

Hoping someone can help me

 

I have compiled OC on my x64 Linux system but pretty sure it is not compiling as x64 nor the applications.

 

So I have a few questions I need solving:

 

1. How do you build OC for x64?

2. How do you build your apps for x64?

3. What issues will arise by doing 1 and 2, e.g.;

What data fields change in size causing file compatibility problems?

What other issues rear their ugly head?

 

On another note: Compiled some appl that write to the printer which is assigned as org line sequential and found it printing every other line, i.e., leaving a blank line after each line being printed and the solution was to remove the organisation sub-clause however this should NOT be required.

 

Anyone know why this is happening?

 

Vincent
