Myself? I'd be benefited with a comprehensive answer to this quest. To this moment I have not been able to create a package that, by itself, would work in a new machine. Up to now, the solution I have found is no solution at all: I install the whole gambas package and then copy the source directory.
It would be great to know what is the right thing to do. - fernando 2017-09-01 17:18 GMT-03:00 mikeB <mi...@my-audiosharing.com>: > eGreetings - The World of Gambas, > > Most likely most of you will be thinking "OH NO - not this subject again" > but I'm sure I'm not the only one trying to switch from vb6(M$) to Gambas > (Linux freedom) > that after many hours of research - is very confused on what is required > to create/ re-distribute > an install file (e.g. xxx.deb). > > I'm finding that this problem is harder to understand/ solve then the > codling diff (vb6 vs Gambas). > Maybe, surely your advice will help many others ;-) > > So here goes - my newbie questions: > * are the Gambas runtime files most always backward compatible? > > * if so = why doesn't the "MAKE > Installation package" function > automatically include them? > From my testing it does not - get install error "Can not install - "Gambas > runtime files missing blah, blah.." > > Not a criticism but only a question - there most likely is a good reason? > > * Is there somewhere/ someone that creates/ offers the current runtime > files for download as a setup (e.g. Gambas-runtime.deb)? > I'm think'n that I could just have the end user download and run before > install of my offering (Gambas app.) > > * If not = how do I deal with this (include the runtime files) - PLEASE, > so even I can understand ;-) > > A BIG THANKS to anyone taking the time to advance this newbie, and others > knowledge! > > It will be a big help in advancing development of Linux Gambas apps so > folks can rid themselves from M$. > > Have a GREAT day, > mikeB > > PS: see that there are some of you that is working hard on the terminal > component - will be a VERY exciting addition to Gambas > > when completed - if you would, please inform the list when stable (and > what is needed to do to implement). > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------ > ------------------ > Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most > engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot > _______________________________________________ > Gambas-user mailing list > Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user > -- Fernando Cabral Blogue: http://fernandocabral.org Twitter: http://twitter.com/fjcabral e-mail: fernandojosecab...@gmail.com Facebook: f...@fcabral.com.br Telegram: +55 (37) 99988-8868 Wickr ID: fernandocabral WhatsApp: +55 (37) 99988-8868 Skype: fernandojosecabral Telefone fixo: +55 (37) 3521-2183 Telefone celular: +55 (37) 99988-8868 Enquanto houver no mundo uma só pessoa sem casa ou sem alimentos, nenhum político ou cientista poderá se gabar de nada. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user
