BTW, if you have suggestions about Cobol lexer, ie syntax highlight, give them. in separate topic in 'lexers' part.

I added the 'Run' entries to the build-system. When I run it - against an *.exe file - I get the following error: "The code execution cannot proceed because libcob-4.dll was not found".

This is bizarre since libcob-4.dll is in the C:?GnuCOBOL/bin folder

so maybe try to add c:\GnuCOBOL\bin to system PATH? in the Windows control panel?

I've already set c:\gnucobol\bin as a PATH variable in the runcobol.cmd.

However I added it to the environment variables as per https://stackoverflow.com/questions/442 ... -screenshot but I get the same error "The code execution cannot proceed because libcob-4.dll was not found".

can you try to copy all Cobol DLL files (with libcob-4.dll) into the folder of compiled Cobol app?
windows searches for DLL files near the running .exe file.
in the same folder.

if my reply did not help, search at the Cobol support forums for that error-text. and ask the questions there.

Copying all the *.dll files did not help plus there are many of the files which I would not want to keep copying around with different programs.

I have a simple *.bat file with which I can run the *.exe files and I will do this. I will, however, raise a query in the GnuCOBOL forums and I will let you know if I get a response which works.
