.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
Gambas is a free development environment based on a Basic interpreter with object extensions,
|
|
.br
|
|
a mix of Java(tm) and Visual Basic(tm).
|
|
.br
|
|
With Gambas, you can quickly design your program GUI, access MySQL or PostgreSQL databases,
|
|
.br
|
|
pilot KDE applications with DCOP, translate your program into many languages, and so on...
|
|
|
|
.B gbs3
|
|
is the interpreter that allows you to compile and execute a Gambas script.

.SH "PROJECT CONVERSION"
|
|
.B gbs3
|
|
can convert a Gambas project into an executable script file using the --convert-project option.
|
|
The input project directory is used to create the script which is written to the output script directory.
|
|
The script is created and named the same as the originating project.
|
|
.br
|
|
.B gbs3
|
|
MyProjectDirectory DestinationScriptDirectory
|
|
|
|
|
|
.SH "SCRIPT CONVERSION"
|
|
.B gbs3
|
|
can convert a script file to a full Gambas project using the --convert-script option.
|
|
.br
|
|
The input script is translated into a project by the same basename as the script and
|
|
is created in the specified directory. In the case in which no output directory is specified,
|
|
the environment variable PWD is used as the location to create the Gambas project.
|
|
.br
|
|
.B gbs3
|
|
MyScript.gbs ~/Projects
|
|
.br
|
|
This created the project 'MyScript' directory in the users 'Projects' directory.
|
|
|
|
.SH "PLUGINS"
|
|
.B gbs3
|
|
can create plugins that can be used by other scripts or Gambas applications after being built using the --plugin or -p option.
|
|
Plugins are created in a user-selected directory and are also executed and cached in this directory,
|
|
unlike a normal script, in which executables are created in the temp directory and are executed from there.
|
|
This allows plugins to persist after the scripter exits.
|
|
.br
|
|
If no output destination is specified, then the plugin is created in the ~/.local/lib/gambas directory.
|
|
and may be loaded from there using the component.load() function.
