With the revision #2401, you can define a GB_DIR environment variable that points at the Gambas installation directory. With that, you should be able to run Gambas from your USB key, provided that the destination O.S. has all the needed shared libraries installed. You can put all the needed shared libraries on the USB key too, and run Gambas completely, by using the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.
