Re: [GnuCOBOL 3.0-rc1] testsuite: 17 failed

[Simon Sobisch]

Hi Pat,

this error seems to have not come up here before (at least I do not
remember it) but there are two things to know:

3.0rc1 is quite outdated (there was and will be no 3.0 final release).
The current release plan for 3.1rc1 is May/June 2020.

I suggest to use a newer version, you can find the nightly builds'
address (as those are not unlikely to change in the future) listed at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/open-cobol/files/gnucobol/nightly_snapshots/
  (the build history shows that the test is running now, also under Cygwin)

If you just wanted to use GnuCOBOL on Win32 (and not to extend your
existing Cygwin environment with GnuCOBOL) I highly suggest to just use
the MinGW based ready-to-use binary packages.
You find those at https://www.arnoldtrembley.com/GnuCOBOL.htm (a quite
recent 3.1-dev is available there).

Thanks for reporting, letting others to know to possibly prefer a newer
and/or different environment than 3.0rc1 via Cygwin.

Simon
