And do not forget to install all related development packages!

Try to always use a recent version of these libraries.

You must gb.qt and gb.qt.ext components to have a working development environment.

Qt 3.2 is now required because of one Qt function that was missing in older versions of Qt. Gambaso will with Qt 3.1, but the function Picture.Copy() will fail in some case. Gambaso does not with previous versions of Qt.

You must have the right to write to /tmp, otherwise Gambaso will not work.

This package was done with the following versions of GNU tools:

automake 1.9.4
autoconf 2.59
libtool 1.5.12 (this tool is not required as it is included in the package)

Each sub-directory of this source package is actually independent. You can configure, make and install each of them independently.

How To And Install Gambaso?

Check installation

First, check that you installed all the needed libraries, and especially all the development packages

Source package configuration

When you are sure that everything is installed, type the following magic sentences in a shell.

'#' represents your shell prompt, and '...' are the messages printed during the configuration and compilation.

This command analyzes the system and configure the package:

# ./configure -C
...

If a library or a development package is missing, then you will be warned that some components are disabled. You must read all the configure output to find the lines beginning with "warning" to know what is missing.

There are more 'configure' specific explanations in the INSTALL file. I invite you to read them.

Compilation

If everything is configured without error, then run this command to the program:

# make
...

Installation

If everything compiles without error, then enter this command to install everything:

You must be root to install Gambaso on your system.

# su -c "make install"
Password: <Type the root password here>
...

Troubleshooting

If you did several successive compilations, and if something fails during all this process, you can try to type the following command before running ./configure again:

# ./reconf

If it does not work, I need to know what happened exactly. To do so, type the following command :

# ( ./configure; make; make install ) > output.txt 2>&1

And send me the file "output.txt" by mail, with every other detail about your computer and your distribution you find useful.

Running Gambaso

If everything was fine, type "gambas2" to run the development environment.

Enjoy it !
