============
GnuCOBOL uses other software packages, some of these are necessary,
some optional. You find a detailed list of software "for the common
user" below.
***
NOTE
For all the following packages (required or optional),
BOTH runtime AND development components are necessary.
***
***
NOTE
All the following packages are normally part of a Linux
distribution. Cygwin distribution also has these as installable
packages, other operating systems also may have repositories for
these - eg. MAC OS, CentOS and others all have package repositories.
ALWAYS install the distribution packages when available !!
***
GnuCOBOL REQUIRES one of the following external libraries to be installed
for implementation of decimal arithmetic:
BOTH runtime AND development components required.
o GNU MP (libgmp) 4.1.2 or later
https://gmplib.org
OR
o MPIR (libgmp - MPIR gmp-compat) 1.3.1 or later
(preferred when compiling on Windows with other compilers than GCC)
http://mpir.org
GNU MP and MPIR are distributed under GNU Lesser General Public License.
NOTE
Please ALWAYS use the distro package whenever possible !!
See NOTE above.
GnuCOBOL MAY require the following external libraries to be installed:
***
NOTE - libltdl is NOT needed when installing on Linux,
SUN Solaris, MAC OS, CentOS or Windows
(including Cygwin, MingW and native windows).
It is also NOT needed with later versions of AIX and HP-UX.
(AIX >= 5.1 and HP-UX >= 11.1 are known to NOT require this).
(Check if you have the "dlopen" function).
***
o GNU Libtool (libltdl)
https://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/libtool.html
libltdl is used to implement dynamic CALL statements.
GNU Libtool is distributed under GNU Lesser General Public License.
The following libraries ARE required WHEN :
1) Indexed-Sequential file I/O (ISAM) is used
BOTH runtime AND development components required.
One of the following:
o Berkeley DB (libdb) 4.1 or later
https://www.oracle.com/
https://www.oracle.com/technology/products/berkeley-db/db/index.html
Berkeley DB is distributed under Oracles own open-source license.
Note that if you linked your software with Berkeley DB,
you must distribute the source code of your software along with your
software, or you have to pay royalty to Oracle.
o VBISAM - ISAM file handler (libvbisam) 2.0 or later
https://sourceforge.net/projects/vbisam/
VBISAM is distributed under GNU Lesser General Public License.
o DISAM File handler (libdisam)
http://www.isamcentral.com

2) SCREEN SECTION and/or extended ACCEPT/DISPLAY is used
BOTH runtime AND development components required.
One of the following:
o Ncurses (ncurses or ncursesw) 5.2 or later
https://www.gnu.org/software/ncurses/ncurses.html
Ncurses is distributed under a BSD style license.
o PDCurses (pdcurses) for MinGW/native windows ports
https://pdcurses.org/ or https://github.com/Bill-Gray/PDCursesMod/
PDCurses is distributed as Public Domain.
o Unix curses
3) XML runtime support is used
BOTH runtime AND development components required.
libxml2 - http://xmlsoft.org
libxml2 is distributed under MIT License.
4) JSON runtime support is used
BOTH runtime AND development components required.
One of the following:
o cJSON >= 1.3.0 - https://github.com/DaveGamble/cJSON
Note: As an alternative of an installed version you may place
cJSON.c and cJSON.h under "libcob" to include the used functions
directly in the COBOL runtime.
cJSON is distributed under MIT License.
o JSON-C >= 0.12 - https://github.com/json-c/json-c
JSON-C is distributed under Expat License.
See HACKING if you wish to hack the GnuCOBOL source or build directly
from version control as this includes the list of additional tools
necessary for this task.
