Gambas-Run-Time

jeim
Hello,
I am newbie to linux but I like it a lot and I found a tool called Gambas
programming that is powerful enough to what I'd do with my mini2440. My
problem is that to run an application you need the Gambas-runtime, as
needed java applications java-runtime.
I found an installer gambas2-runtime_2.21.0-1_armel.deb but my problem is I
have no debian for my mini2440 image, nor is how to install the "runtime"
in qtopia ...

I have read about QT, but I think Gambas is much better ...

Any help?

Thank you very much !!!!!

I have heard the of the gambas project, but I have not used it before so
the information below is just based on other experience cross compiling.

Probably you could extract the contents of the .deb and see what world of
trouble you'll run into because of missing dependencies with the guide at
http://www.g-loaded.eu/2008/01/28/how-to-extract-rpm-or-deb-packages/

However, I would recommend you cross-compile the runtime yourself as that
will ensure that you have the dependencies for this library. I can imagine
there will be a lto for a complex runtime environment like gambas.

Thanks for your answer Erik.

Can I do a installer package to root-qtopia enviroment?

or How can I do a image to install that runtime?

Sorry but I'm an Electronic engineer, I'm not informatic, :(

There is no package manager in the firmware, so an installer would not
help.
I think the best place to start is to have a look at
http://gambasdoc.org/help/readme?en&view and read up on the requirements.
Also have a look in the source archive for gambas, there will probably be
some documentation there on compiling.

When you have finished compiling you can copy the resulting binaries and
other files to your rootfs to test.
