gambas2 or gambas3 programs has no options and take just one argument, the project to open. So having an "--help" option will not be print something really useful. But I can admit that point, and could make an "--help" option. Anyway, why do you think that if gambas2 or gambas3 has an "--help" option, it will be easier for me to fix the bugs on a specific architecture? A "-v" verbosity option will not be useful too. It exists already actually, it is the debugger. And last question: why don't you do what is explained on the "Reporting a problem" page of the website as I told you in a previous mail? Which is what is useful to help fixing bugs. I won't fix Gambas 2 for ARM, but will for Gambas 3. It already works on two ARM architectures, so it should not be a big deal to make it work or a third one, a fourth one, until ARM becomes more "standardized"... provided that you give me the needed information!
