Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn)

Before going out any further, you may wish to consider using the .deb package at; "http:/encryptec.net/software/gambas-packages"

These instructions may well work with previous versions of Ubuntu, but I would strongly recommend upgrading to 7.04 before going any further. If you want to find the exact package versions supported on a given release of Ubuntu, it will take time. If you can upgrade first the procedure below should get you going 'first time'.

  • First you'll need to get the latest release of the source code. At the time of writing, this is version 1.9.48.
  • Next you need to make sure you have the right development packages installed. To do this, start a terminal session (Applications->Accessories->Terminal) and copy the contents of the box below into the terminal. The password it will prompt for will be YOUR password. (note that your userid will need super-user access to your system ..)

    • sudo apt-get install libbz2-dev libgnorba-dev omniorb4 libfbclient1
libmysqlclient15-dev unixodbc-dev libpq-dev libsqlite0-dev
libsqlite3-dev libgtk2.0-dev libldap2-dev libcurl3-dev libgtkglext1-dev
libqt3-mt-dev libpcre3-dev libsdl-sound1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev
libsdl-image1.2-dev libsage-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev build-essential
libbonobo2-dev libcos4-dev libomniorb4-dev firebird2-dev librsvg2-dev
libpoppler-qt-dev libpoppler-qt4-dev  libpoppler-dev libpoppler-glib-dev
libasound2-dev libartsc0-dev libesd0-dev libesd-alsa0 libdirectfb-dev
libaa1-dev

  • Unpack the source into usr src Gambaso.
    • cd /usr/src
tar xvfj /home/<your userid>/Desktop/gambas2-1.48.tar.bz2

  • Move to the Gambaso source folder and follow the build procedure. (check out the README file)
    • cd /usr/src/gambas2-1.9.48
./configure -C
make
make install

This should leave you with a working version of Gambaso in usr local bin .. so if you now type in "gambas2" from the terminal session, it should start your nice new IDE.

Notes (from Ron)

If you want to develop "kde" applications (above and beyond just qt) then you'll need to add the following to the list of packages above
  • libarts1-dev
  • kdelibs4-dev
