* NEW: Theme configuration was redesigned and enhanced. * NEW: New option for setting the tabstrip title font size. * NEW: The file information dialog was redesigned again. * NEW: Some option names were changed. * NEW: A new "Project" virtual folder in the project treeview. It is exactly like the "Data" folder, except that the files and directories stored inside are not included in the generated executable. * NEW: As keywords are now displayed in lowercase by default, there is a new option for displaying them in uppercase as before. [INTERPRETER] * NEW: Object.GetProperty() can return the value of a constant. * NEW: Keywords are in lowercase by default, the first letter of the words staying in uppercase. [GB.EVAL] * NEW: The Highlight.Analyze() method always return keywords in uppercase, so that you can continue to easily do non case-sensitive comparisons. [GB.QT] * BUG: Changing the font of a TabStrip correctly refreshes its layout now. [GB.QT.EXT] * NEW: The Editor can force highlighted keywords to uppercase. It is only done when drawing the keyword. The internal text is not changed. git-svn-id: svn://localhost/gambas/trunk@1265 867c0c6c-44f3-4631-809d-bfa615b0a4ec
WELCOME TO GAMBAS!
GAMBAS is a free implementation of a graphical development
environment based on a BASIC interpreter. It is very
inspired by Visual Basic and Java.

And you must install all related development packages.
Try to always use a recent version of these libraries.
You must of course install the GCC compiler.
You must compile gb.qt and gb.qt.ext components to have a working development
environment.
Qt 3.2 is now required because of one Qt function that was missing in older
versions of Qt. Gambas will compile with Qt 3.1, but the function Picture.Copy()
will fail in some case. Gambas does not compile with previous versions of Qt.
You must have the right to write to /tmp, otherwise Gambas will not work.
This package was done with the following versions of GNU tools:
- automake 1.9.4
- autoconf 2.59
- libtool 1.5.12 (this tool is not required as it is included in the package)
Each sub-directory of this source package is actually independent. You can
configure, make and install each of them independently.
** DISTRIBUTION SPECIFIC PROBLEMS
Read the README.REDHAT or README.FEDORA files.
** HOW TO COMPILE GAMBAS ?
1) First, check that you installed all the needed development packages
2) When done, type the following magic sentences in a shell.
'#' represents your shell prompt, and "..." are the
messages printed during the configuration and compilation.
This command analyzes the system and configure the package:
# ./configure -C
...
This command compiles the programs:
# make
...
And finally this command installs everything:
# su -c "make install"
Password: <Type the root password here>
...
If something fails during this process, try to type the
following command before ./configure :
# ./reconf
If it does not work, I need to know what happened exactly.
To do so, type the following command :
# ( ./configure; make; make install ) > output.txt 2>&1
And send me the file "output.txt" by mail, with every other
detail about your computer and your distribution you find
useful.
3) If everything was fine, type "gambas2" to run the development
environment. There are a few examples in the "examples"
directory.
4) There are more 'configure' specific explanations in the "INSTALL" file.
I invite you to read them.
Enjoy it !
Benoît.
