I agree with you but, if i want to see Gambas on others OS is because i've friends who would be to run my software without have to install any linux distributions.
I don't care to have a lot of users from Windows or OS X who use Gambas :-) . This is not my goal. My goal is just to be able to run Gambas applications without imposing choices. furthermore, on OS X like Windows, there is no good BASIC programming language. either BASIC's are not free, or don't have good tools and a good logic into BASIC syntax as Gambas.
