eGreetings - The World of Gambas,
Most likely most of you will be thinking "OH NO - not this subject again"
but I'm sure I'm not the only one trying to switch from vb6(M$) to
Gambas (Linux freedom)
that after many hours of research - is very confused on what is required
to create/ re-distribute
an install file (e.g. xxx.deb).
I'm finding that this problem is harder to understand/ solve then the
codling diff (vb6 vs Gambas).
Maybe, surely your advice will help many others ;-)
So here goes - my newbie questions:
* are the Gambas runtime files most always backward compatible?
* if so = why doesn't the "MAKE > Installation package" function
automatically include them?
From my testing it does not - get install error "Can not install -
"Gambas runtime files missing blah, blah.."
Not a criticism but only a question - there most likely is a good reason?
* Is there somewhere/ someone that creates/ offers the current runtime
files for download as a setup (e.g. Gambas-runtime.deb)?
I'm think'n that I could just have the end user download and run before
install of my offering (Gambas app.)
* If not = how do I deal with this (include the runtime files) - PLEASE,
so even I can understand ;-)
A BIG THANKS to anyone taking the time to advance this newbie, and
others knowledge!
It will be a big help in advancing development of Linux Gambas apps so
folks can rid themselves from M$.
Have a GREAT day,
mikeB
PS: see that there are some of you that is working hard on the terminal
component - will be a VERY exciting addition to Gambas
when completed - if you would, please inform the list when stable (and
what is needed to do to implement).
