Okay making my component in Gambas 2 worked. Have it at my use in all Gambas 2 projects, really nice. Here is the next problem I encounter. How to distribute the component together with the application that uses it. 1. Do I make a package for the component separate from the application and will the package installer recognise it as a component and do the right thing? (I guess not, but hey..you never know...)? 2. Do I simply make a package for the application and the component will be included and installed properly? 3. Or do I need to provide a source archive and do people need to install IDE to make the component local themselves (something not really handy when making applications for not programming audience)? 4. Or is there another way? I can see how Gambas 3 takes care of this with the library in the project folder, that just gets installed with the application. Way easier and I would love to port my application to Gambas 3. This application is still in Gambas 2 for easy Distribution reasons only. Gambas 3 missing in repos makes distributing Gambas 3 applications virtually impossible for the moment. Can't expect people to compile their own version just for the sake of running my application... As soon as the major distros have it available in their software repos I'm leaving Gambas 2.
