Gambas3 sources?
« on: November 20, 2008, 03:43:23 PM »
Hi!

I'm confused... where are latest gambas3 source codes?
Can anyone give me a link?

Do anyone know how stable gambas3 is right now?  Is it at practical state?
Thanks!

So far as I know Gambas 3.0 is not yet available in a downloadable archive. But it is in a Subversion repository.

First thing go to http://gambas.sourceforge.net/ and look at the Download section. It explains how to get the various version of Gambas including 3.0.

Basically: first make sure you have Subversion installed on your machine. Then open a Linux terminal and run the command:

Code: [Select]

svn checkout https://gambas.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gambas/gambas/trunk/


You should then end up with a directory called trunk. In there you will find the source code to Gambas 3.0 which you can compile in the normal way.

I have not used Gambas 3.0 very much. But Gambas 2.0 was pretty stable when it was being developed. It should be fine for personal use. I would not use it for a production application, at least not yet. Also you should be able to have Gambas 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 all installed alongside each other and for there to be no conflicts. At least that's the theory. :D

Thanks!

I need Gambas3 to test it's usage of pointers... I'm converting vb6 project to Gambas, and I need to know my possibilities. So that I know how I exactly do the conversion. Problem is dll files (--> shared library) that
are made with C/C++, they are why I need pointers.

It would be nice if I can install 2.9 and 3.0 alongside!
Do you know what "./reconf-all" does..?
And if I compile and install Gambas3, do I lost Gambas2?

I tried to compile Gambas3 source.
Got these errors/messages:

Code: [Select]
libtoolize: copying file `libltdl/slist.c'
libtoolize: You should add the contents of the following files to `aclocal.m4':
libtoolize:   `libltdl/m4/libtool.m4'
libtoolize:   `libltdl/m4/ltoptions.m4'
libtoolize:   `libltdl/m4/ltversion.m4'
libtoolize:   `libltdl/m4/ltsugar.m4'

libtoolize:   `libltdl/m4/argz.m4'
libtoolize:   `libltdl/m4/ltdl.m4'
libtoolize: or else add `AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([libltdl/m4])' to configure.ac.
libtoolize: Remember to add `LT_CONFIG_LTDL_DIR([libltdl])' to `configure.ac'.
libtoolize: Consider using `AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR([libltdl/config])' in configure.ac.
libtoolize: Consider adding `-I m4' to ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am.
configure.ac: required file `./mkinstalldirs' not found
autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1

Do anyone know what went wrong?
Little more info... these messages are from command ./reconf-all.
