With many thanks to Chuck Haatvedt and Simon Sobisch, you can now build
MSYS2 32-bit and 64-bit versions of GnuCOBOL 3.2-dev for Windows, which
includes gmplib, PDCursesMod, Berkeley DataBase (for ISAM), and
GCSORT.exe. These versions includes GCC 12.2.0 as the embedded C
Compiler, with XML parsing, cJSON, and debugging support includind code
coverage testing. You can download a binary compressed with 7-Zip and
rename the file extension from "7z" to "exe". Then you can run it as a
self-installing archive. See the STARTHERE.txt file, or open a cmd.exe
window in the install folder, and run "set_env.cmd" to set the
environment variables. You can also download the MSYS2-Build-Kit.7z
archive which contains the Build Guide in LibreOffice DOCX format and in
PDF format.
