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

[Peter Klosky]

Vincent,

 

I've compiled OC in 64 bit mode on Solaris x64.  So far, works great on that platform.  Only needed one or two tweaks to the compiler source.  While I do not have a precise, step-by-step guide for your particular host, I do have some suggestions, which follow.

 

1.  The "file" utility can be a help to show if the .o files produced from your compiler are 32 or 54 bit ones.  An example is below.

 

2.  In addition to the compiler, you may also need to examine the libraries it requires, to make sure they are 64 bit.

 

3.  If you can send evidence in the form of test which you cut/paste, that can help us see how far you have gotten.

 

best,

 

Peter

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

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
