Hi-
 

 I am looking at firebird downloads and I don't see where they have a source 
built with a configure script for linux for 2.5.x or maybe I am not looking in 
the right place.
 

 I found a source build for windows but couldn't get it to build with cygwin.
 

 So now I am checking out to see if linux works but I don't have the source 
build for linux with configure scripts. I saw on github where they had a source 
build but I thought it was for the bleeding edge cutting version. I will go see 
if I can find a source but so far no luck.
 

 I have to issue the commands:
 

 ./configure –with-gpre-cobol 
 make 

 

 the talk at gnucobol is whether it is already built for cobol with gpre or I 
have to tell it to build for that language. I read where gpre works for C/C++ 
out of the box but there is a question whether it works for cobol out of the 
box too and thus the need for the source build to try this out.
 

 thx. so much for any tips. - jim
