Porteus

Gambas is for Linux as Visual Basic is for Windoz. Here my snapshot:


You can download it from http://www.mediafire.com/?xb634573ug5x4

The sqlite2 component is disabled (other 3 sql components are present). I start it by typing gambas3; in kde4 you can put it in the panel by right-clicking it in the panel. i only tested the examples and they run ok.

Enjoy

@hendryawan

Have you tried " toor "?

Thank,

I still can't find gambas3, eventhought I has been extract the zxm file to my desktop. How to run the gambas3 program?
Where I can type gambas3?
regards

@hendryawan

Open a terminal, and then type gambas3, this will run the software.

Regards

It is still not working...
It seem wrong step to install.
OK now I have Porteus-KDE4-v2.1-rc2-i486.iso and already run by USB flash disk. The other one I have gambas3-3.3.4-i486-wread.xzm file.
Please explain me step by step to do running the gambas program.
regards

@ hendryawan

1.right-clic the xzm-file and then activate it

2. do what RamonTavarez said.

Dear Donald,
1st:
By right click of file xzm then activeted --> typing the password
open terminal --: type gambas3 --> result by terminal --> bash: gambas3: command not found

2nd:
I try with porteus package manager then activated
open terminal and type gambas3, result:
gbr3: error while loading shared libraries: libffi.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory



Any hint ?

@hendryawan

let's try "a shot into the dark"
does it work in a root-terminal?
open terminal >type su --ENTER > type toor --ENTER > type gambas3 --ENTER

If you are still getting errors I'm sorry, but I am not able to help you any further
but please be patient I'm sure that someone else will step in to help you.

Dear Donald,
The result is still same --> gbr3: error while loading shared libraries: libffi.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Any hint will be appreciate.
Thank you verymuch and best regards

@hendryawan,
to build that package I used my own build of KDE4, that contained a little module called libffi.xzm. This module you must add to the Gambas3 Stack to make it work now.

Good luck!

Dear,
I just do the libffi-3.0.8.zxm with package manager and then type in terminal gambas3 the error comes bellow:
root@porteus:/home/guest# gambas3
ERROR: #27: Cannot load component 'gb.qt4.webkit': libsqlite3-3.6.12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The better way, you can give me the step by step direction. Sorry I am still very poor in linux, now I learn.

regards

Ok, try installing 06-libreoffice.xzm in /porteus/base. This should do the trick!

Regards!

Dear wread,
I has been try but it is still have the same error
ERROR: #27: Cannot load component 'gb.qt4.webkit': libsqlite3-3.6.12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I waiting for the next thing to try
regards

Dear hendryawan!

I must apologize. As Porteus moved from version 2.0 to 2.1 rc1 I had the same problem and made this patch for it. Just add it to your stack and install it.
I hope you will enjoy Gambas3

Cheers!
