[Gambas-user] Building 3.0
Gambas Developer Team, I used svn and downloaded the trunk and ran ./reconf-all. I have installed 3.0 Gambas as a sub-directory in my /home/jrs/gambas-dev/trunk and ready to build Gambas 3.0. Before I get started I have a few questions and maybe the answers will help other newbies like me to Gambas help test the 3.0 release. 1. Do I still need to run ./configure after running ./reconf-all ? 2. I would like to continue to keep the 2.22 release I built as the default and run 3.0 out of my home directory for testing. Should I use the prefix option with configure to have the install create the binaries in /home/jrs/??? 3. If I want to refresh the truck and test recent fixes, is there a svn command to only download the files that have changed since my last truck request? 4. Is there a way to only recompile a component and install it rather than doing a complete build from scratch? 5. Is there a better way to report suspected bugs other than the list? 6. What area(s) of Gambas development are most important at this time to get the 3.0 release out? Thanks for your help to bring a Gambas newbie developer up to speed.

If I want to refresh the truck and test recent fixes, is there a svn command to only download the files that have changed since my last truck request? svn up 4. Is there a way to only recompile a component and install it rather than doing a complete build from scratch? Run make install in its dir or one just above it. 5. Is there a better way to report suspected bugs other than the list? Google code bug tracker if it is propably a bug. 6. What area(s) of Gambas development are most important at this time to get the 3.0 release out? Get it in a usable state. Thanks for your help to bring a Gambas newbie developer up to speed.

Thanks Ron! Does the command 'build-dist' work and will it creates a .deb package on my Ubuntu 32 box? -- Protect Your Site and Customers from Malware Attacks Learn about various malware tactics and how to avoid them.

Before I get started I have a few questions and maybe the answers will help other newbies like me to Gambas help test the 3.0 release. 1. Do I still need to run ./configure after running ./reconf-all ? Yes. Better run ./configure -C, it will be faster. 2. I would like to continue to keep the 2.22 release I built as the default and run 3.0 out of my home directory for testing. Should I use the prefix option with configure to have the install create the binaries in /home/jrs/??? Gambas 2 and Gambas 3 should not interfere in any way. 3. If I want to refresh the truck and test recent fixes, is there a svn command to only download the files that have changed since my last truck request? svn update or svn up. There is a quick dirty svn howto on the wiki. 4. Is there a way to only recompile a component and install it rather than doing a complete build from scratch? Only what has been changed will be recompiled. And Gambas and its components are like Linux kernel and its drivers. If you just recompile and install a component, it may not work, if that component needs something outside of its source directory that has changed too. 5. Is there a better way to report suspected bugs other than the list? The place where you report a bug is not really important at the moment (the mailing-list or the bug tracker). The important thing is how you report it. I.e. by providing all the details and a project that reproduces the bug! 6. What area(s) of Gambas development are most important at this time to get the 3.0 release out? I'd like the gb.report component to be usable - Be bold Fabien! :-) - and I'd like to replace the current IconView control by an IconView entirely made in Gambas. Maybe a few little things besides that, and a release candidate will be possible. Regards, -- Benoît Minisini -- Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!
