Yes. Better run "./configure -C", it will be faster. > 2. I would like to continue to keep the 2.22 release I built as the > default and run 3.0 out of my home directory for testing.

Only what has been changed will be recompiled. And Gambas and its components are like Linux kernel and its drivers. If you just recompile and install a component, it may not work, if that component needs something outside of its source directory that has changed too. > > 5.

The important thing is how you report it. I.e. by providing all the details and a project that reproduces the bug! > 6.

Maybe a few little things besides that, and a release candidate will be possible.
