Linux Mint 18.1 is based on Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) the same version as Ubuntu I have.
If you want to try installing the latest Gambas Trunk, below, I list the steps I've made. Of course, as a first step, you must remove from your Mint any trace of Gambas repository, for example: To uninstall the stable repository: sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:gambas-team/gambas3 To uninstall the trunk (unstable) repository: sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:gambas-team/gambas-daily Gambas real with all the libraries etc .: sudo apt-get --purge remove gambas3 sudo apt-get autoremove gambas3 At this point you can check that you have actually cleaned Ubuntu from the old Gambas by giving these commands, always from the terminal: sudo updatedb locate gambas* If you find something copied and always deleted with: sudo apt-get âpurge remove <what you want to remove> First you need to download the libraries: sudo apt update sudo apt install build-essential g++ automake autoconf libtool libbz2-dev libmysqlclient-dev unixodbc-dev libpq-dev postgresql-server-dev-9.5 libsqlite0-dev libsqlite3-dev libglib2.0-dev libgtk2.0-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libgtkglext1-dev libpcre3-dev libsdl-sound1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsage-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev librsvg2-dev libpoppler-dev libpoppler-glib-dev libpoppler-private-dev libasound2-dev libesd0-dev libdirectfb-dev libxtst-dev libffi-dev libqt4-dev libqtwebkit-dev libqt4-opengl-dev libglew1.6-dev libimlib2-dev libv4l-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev libgnome-keyring-dev libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev linux-libc-dev libgstreamer1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev libcairo2-dev libgsl0-dev libncurses5-dev libgmime-2.6-dev llvm-3.5-dev libalure-dev libgmp-dev libgtk-3-dev libsdl2-dev libsdl2-mixer-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev libsdl2-image-dev sane-utils libdumb1-dev libqt5opengl5-dev libqt5svg5-dev libqt5webkit5-dev libqt5x11extras5-dev qtbase5-dev[/code] Now you can start by compiling the TRUNK version from SVN. NOTE: You will get two log files on our Desktop (look if your path is Desktop or Escritorio): sudo apt install subversion svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/gambas/code/gambas/trunk cd trunk ~/trunk$ ( ./reconf-all && LLVM_CONFIG=llvm-config-3.5 ./configure -C ) > ~/Desktop/R_conf-Trunk.log 2>&1 Check the R_conf-Trunk.log log file on the your desktop (last line of the file) If it's ok, go ahead, if you miss jit or have other problems posted here the log file. ~/trunk$ ( make && sudo make install ) > ~/Scrivania/Make_Inst-Trunk.log 2>&1 Regards Gianluigi 2017-06-12 0:54 GMT+02:00 Fernando Cabral <fernandojosecab...@gmail.com>: > Gianluigi and Tobi > > I tried to compile, then I found some modules would be disabled (a long > list of them).
