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.
