Hi Rolf,
First, you need to package the Gambas library.
Next, you package the application.
In the packaging wizard (when packaging the application) at the step
Extra dependencies, you need to add the exectable name and version of
the library.
The name of the library has to be in lower case (and without the .gambas
extension).
The library version, is the version you used when packaging the library.
When distributing the application you need to distribute the libary
package along with it.
When installing the application, the OS installer will check if the
library is installed, if not it will not install the application.
So, first install the library package, next the application package and
you should be good.
Have fun,
gbWilly
