[Gambas-user] What do I need to distribute with a gambas application?

[Andrea G. <a.g...@gm...>]

Hi,

When I create an application with Gambas, then I want to distribute
it, what packages do I have to distribute with the application?

I tried using Create Installation Package but at the end it gives me
an error that says "Cannot create package".

Thanks for your help!

End users need the Gambas interpreter plus all the components 
your Gambas program uses.  On Mandriva (using my packages... 
dunno about Mandriva's own) they'd need the gambas-runtime 
package, plus at least gambas-gb-qt if they're graphical apps, 
etc.

The "Create Installation Package" stuff doesn't work under the 
1.9 series.  I should probably tweak it and post a patch, though 
I can only do the RPM side of it (and I think making an RPM and 
using alien on it is the wrong approach for .deb packages 
anyway.)

uhm.... the problem is that I use a devel version (I use the 1.9.23 so
I can help in testing Gambas too).

yes... it wouldn't be a good idea :)

Ok, I'll wait for a fix :)

Thanks anyway!
