The target system where you want to install the gambas application on has
to have the link to the gambas repository.
Seems you are on Debian/Ubuntu.

For Ubuntu open terminal on target system and do:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gambas-team/gambas3
sudo apt-get update


Next you can install your gambas application, it will pull in all
dependencies (like interpreter) and install them.
It will only install those parts of Gambas the application needs to run
properly.


Above is for Gambas stable 3.9.2, if you developed your application in trunk you will need to add trunk repo to target system instead of stable
repo.

Hope this explains all.



Hi Fernando,


Willy, it does explain. Just to be on the safe side:
a) It means Gambas iteself is not installed when we run the package
installer, right?


It does NOT install Gambas IDE, only those parts needed to run your Gambas application (so interpreter, components used etc.)


b) What do the *.deb files do? Just copy the sorce code and the bytecode to
the new system?

They are the debian installer files.
They do all kinds of things like put your executable at proper location, pull in the needed dependencies (like interpreter, components used by your application...), make desktop menu entry, take care of application icon and all more that is needed to make your application work properly on the system it is installed too.

Debain determines how these files are build. They have policies (see: https://wiki.debian.org/Packaging)

Hope this clarifies things for you.

gbWilly
