Take this with a bucketful of salt, but from my experience, you're better of with Gambas 3 and Qt4 on Ubuntu. I use 9.10 x64. Ubuntu uses GTK+, but Qt is far better. You need to consider installing Qt4, the latest Gambas 3, and if you do that then you need to covert your app from GTK to Qt. Depending on what you have done so far, that may be as simple as a library reference change to Qt4, or it may mean the creation of a whole new app and lots of copy/paste. Been there, done that. I was quite surprised when I moved my app to Qt4 on Ubuntu, it really did look, "as designed". If "as designed" is what you realy need, then go Qt4, and forget GTK+. The point is, IMO, you can only get so far with GTK+, and if you want better then you need gb3 and Qt4. That becomes an even more important point when, as I did, you discover that GTK is trying to do things it was never designed to do. As an Ubuntu user, I'd be really happy if Benoit trashed GTK support and only offered Qt support. IMO (again) Qt won the war ages ago. Yes, there may be heartache ahead, but looking at the gb3/Qt4 app I have in front of me, which came from VB dotNET 2007, heck, gb3/Qt4 is sweet. All that said, you should at least upgrade to 2.18. Here is the source for 2.18: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gambas/gambas2-2.18.0.tar.bz2?download Here are the instructions for an Ubuntu 9.10 installation: http://gambasdoc.org/help/install/ubuntu?view You can install gb3 side by side with gb2. Just follow the gb3 instructions here: DAMN! Benoit! You gotta stop using frames, man. I can't give the customer the link he needs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user
