Relinking the Run-time System

You must relink the ACUCOBOL-GT runtime when you:

• Modify the .c files located in $ACUCOBOL/lib, including config85.c, filetbl.c, and others.
• Call C routines that are not available in DLLs or shared object libraries. This means that you are using the direct method or interface method to call C routines.

The exact procedure for relinking depends on the host system. On most UNIX and Linux systems, you have the option of linking with either the makerun script or the make utility.

Relinking the runtime requires that you have the appropriate C development system for your host. Required software is specified in the host-specific subsections that follow.
