SDL Problems Ubuntu 8.04
« on: October 27, 2008, 09:49:17 AM »
Hi there.
I'm new to gambas, trying to develop some simple game with my son.
I have some experience coding in realbasic and 4d but i have changed my job some years ago. So i am programming just for fun by now.
Gambas looks very good to me.
Now i was looking at the examples provided with 2.0.0.
When trying to open the SDL examples i always get the same error:

For instance Gambas Gears: Unknown Identifier: Window in Line 11

It seems the SDL component is not available with my Distri!? can you offer me some help how to bring the examples to work, so maybe i could be trying to code some on my own.

My System is Ubuntu Hardy.

some help would be very much appreciated!

Linux Basic

If you follow the install method described here http://gambasdoc.org/help/install/ubuntu?v3 then all the required SDL components should be installed. These instructions are specific to Gambas on Ubuntu. 8)

(The only components not installed are the QTE embedded ones :P But you do not need them.)
