How to Install OpenCOBOL in OS X 10.9

I tried to install the OpenCOBOL, the open source COBOL compiler, in OS X 10.9. This is the note of it. The original site installation is old, no additional package compiles and installations are required. Just do the MacPorts installation commands only. All required packages are ready in MacPorts repository for OpenCOBOL.

1. Install MacPorts

Install MacPorts normally from here.

http://www.macports.org

2. Install OpenCOBOL from MacPorts repository

3. Try Hello COBOL

Make the COBOL program as below. (from OpenCOBOL getting started page http://www.opencobol.org/modules/bwiki/index.php?cmd=read&page=UserManual%2F1)

* Sample COBOL program
IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
PROGRAM-ID. hello.
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
DISPLAY "Hello World!".
STOP RUN.

Next, compile and execute.

$ cobc -x hello.cob
clang: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-R/opt/local/lib'
$ ./hello
Hello World!

Fine 😉

    I tried this and got clang: error: unknown argument: ‘-R/opt/local/lib’ [-Wunused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future]
    clang: note: this will be a hard error (cannot be downgraded to a warning) in the future

      Right, and there might be a bug including the script of compilation.
      (it also include in my sample output above. A space required between -R and directory options)
