Re: [open-cobol-list] Debugger with Linux (Michael D. Setzer II)

[Simon Sobisch]

Hi Michael,

I did not tested this yet and you may find someone on this list that
will do this, but in general you *may* could be more lucky when at least
co-posting it to the TP-Debugger project ;-)

In general:
* the different output looks like a clear bug
--> https://sourceforge.net/p/tp-cobol-debugg/bugs (including output of
cobc --info could be useful here, too)
* if you convert the file names I'd highly suggest to run dos2unix on
them, too
* for the "everything has to be in the current path"-issue: this should
work with
export cbl_library_path=/path/to/animator/sources
export animate_inf=/path/to/animator/inf_files
export animator_inf=$animate_inf
export COB_ENV_MANGLE=1 # change all identifiers in `ACCEPT var FROM
ENVIRONMENT identifier` to use _ for parts not in isalnum() [which
includes the dot]
* for possible other questions about the animator:
--> https://sourceforge.net/p/tp-cobol-debugg/discussion/
