gnucobol 3.1.2 install with vbisam error

Simon Sobisch — Tue, 29 Nov 2022 20:01:59 -0000

Guess: you don't have /usr/local/lib in your default lookup paths, if you want to use it you either have to export LD_LIBRARY_PATH, adding this directory, or tell the linker to embed an rpath entry so the system knows where to look.
For GnuCOBOL - I assume gcc or clang - this would mean using the following configure line:

configure --with-vbisam CPPFLAGS="-I /usr/local/include" LDFLAGS="-L /usr/local/lib -Wl,-rpath=/usr/local/lib" (the first is a note for the linker where to find the link library, the second is an entry in the executable where to find the shared object).

gnucobol 3.1.2 install with vbisam error

Michael Frederick — Tue, 29 Nov 2022 19:34:00 -0000

I got vbisam installed using the version on gnucobol. On install of gnucobol I get error in make.
error while loading shared libraries.
libvbisam.so.4 cannot open shared object file. No such file or directory.
IN /usr/local/lib there is a link for libvbisam.so.4 to libvbisam.so.4.0.0 and file libvbisam.so.4.0.0 is present in /usr/local/lib.
What options are there to get around this error? drop link and copy libvbisam.so.4.00 to libvbisam.so.4 OR?????

either change the functions off_t -> vbisam_off_t or use the updated and renamed one; a preview of what is to come to this site: http://inglenet.ca/Products/GnuCOBOL/vbisam-2.2.tar.Z

vbisam 2.0 compilation errors

Simon Sobisch — Sun, 30 Dec 2018 16:29:24 -0000

You may want to retry with the patched version made available by Ron Norman in the GnuCOBOL discussion boards.

Note: I plan to finish the conversion from CVS to SVN including Roger While's changes for 2.0 and many bugfixes added by others in 2019 (unlikely to happen before April), then update it here (if Trevor shows up) or (in case he doesn't show up) "fork" this project on GitLab and upload it there.

VBISAM open/close/open sam file may cause isread crash if not in transaction

Jean-Michel Dubois — Tue, 02 May 2017 20:45:15 -0000

Oops ! The right fix in isclose is :

        if (ivbintrans == VBNOTRANS || ! (psvbptr->iopenmode & 3)) {
                if (ivbclose2 (ihandle)) { 
                        return -1;
                }
                ivbclose3 (ihandle);
        } else if (!(ivbintrans == VBBEGIN || ivbintrans == VBNEEDFLUSH || ivbintrans == VBRECOVER)) {
                if (ivbclose2 (ihandle)) {
                        return -1;
                }
        }

along with this fix in iscleanup function :

if (psvbfile[iloop]->iisopen == 1) {

becomes :

if (psvbfile[iloop] && psvbfile[iloop]->iisopen == 1) {

Now everything works fine, with or without transaction logging.

New maintainance for VBISAM

I am currenttly working in a large project using VBISAM. I am interested in helping to merge sources and change the function names.

VBISAM open/close/open sam file may cause isread crash if not in transaction

Jean-Michel Dubois — Tue, 02 May 2017 14:58:31 -0000

I fixed this problem by modifyng isclose function in isopen.c :

        if (!(ivbintrans == VBBEGIN || ivbintrans == VBNEEDFLUSH || ivbintrans == VBRECOVER)) {
                if (ivbclose2 (ihandle)) {
                        return -1;
                }
        }

becomes :

        if (!(ivbintrans == VBBEGIN || ivbintrans == VBNEEDFLUSH || ivbintrans == VBRECOVER)) {
                if (ivbclose2 (ihandle)) {
                        return -1;
                }
        } else if (ivbintrans == VBNOTRANS) {
                if (ivbclose2 (ihandle)) { 
                        return -1;
                }
                ivbclose3 (ihandle);
        }

Crash occurs after a lot of isread / isdelete.
