OpenCOBOL or GNUCobol installation from terminal.

[neelabh.dutt]

Hello!
I use Geany text editor. I want to compile COBOL programs from Geany. I have also installed open-cobol package from "sudo apt-get" but the problem is I cannot compile my programs from within Geany. Please help me install OpenCobol or GNUCobol and tell me a way to compile COBOL programs from the Geany text editor.
Thank you.

Welcome to the forums.

Some caveats:
1. I only use geany as a text editor. I have no need to use it for compiling - I use the terminal for that.
2. I don't use Cobol.

Nevertheless, using this example https://www.geany.org/manual/dev/index.html#build-menu-commands-dialog , the attached screenshot appears to work for Cobol.
