* NEW: English and french tips were updated. A new tip was added. * NEW: Files that were opened at project close are automatically reopened when the project is loaded again. * NEW: A warning message is displayed when the GNU translation tools are not installed. * BUG: The code editor method combo-box is correctly updated now. * BUG: Some fixes in the automatic completion. * BUG: Replace points by dash in the name of packages generated by the IDE packager. * NEW: Updated russian translation * NEW: Updated french translation [DATABASE MANAGER] * NEW: Updated russian translation [EXAMPLES] * BUG: Fixed the Gravity and the GameOfLife examples so that they do not use public form controls anymore. [INTERPRETER] * OPT: Many optimizations in the string substitution routines, the internal datatype conversions, the INPUT and LINE INPUT instructions, the error messages generation, the object and string reference counting, and the memory allocation routines. * NEW: Opening a device file in direct mode (FOR READ/WRITE) is now automatically non blocking. * OPT: Lof() now only tries its different methods (ioctl and lseek) once. * BUG: Val() now ignores thousand separators characters at the end of the number. * NEW: A new flag for enabling the stack trace generation at each error. [GB.DEBUG] * BUG: The gb.debug component interface declaration was not 64-bits aware. [GB.EVAL] * BUG: The Highlight.Purge() method now correctly deals with non-ASCII characters.

[GB.WEB] * NEW: Application.Protocol is a new property that allows to tell the component that the protocol is not necessarily "http". git-svn-id: svn://localhost/gambas/trunk@1153 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.
