The new Gambas AppImage - can it run on Android?
Posted: Sunday 10th January 2021 3:48am
Hello all,
I recently discovered from the Gambas mailing list that a working Gambas AppImage has finally been created. Fabien Bodard deserves a round of applause! I think its an incredible accomplishment, and its clearly the end-result of a great labor of love and dedication.
From what I understand, it seems to be working great for most people who've tried it. Only a few people have had minor quirks, and I'm sure those will soon be worked out.
I was just wondering if anyone might know if this Gambas AppImage might run on Android? Not that I would expect it to be able to create working stand-alone Android applications. But if Gambas GUI programs could simply run in the Gambas IDE on Android, I believe that in itself would be a great leap forward. Personally, I'd find it immensely useful for something like on-the-job productivity. I wouldn't need to be carrying around a laptop, when I can simply pull my phone out of my pocket anytime / anywhere and do the work on the spot.
If anyone might know how to get the Gambas AppImage running on Android, or better yet have the know-how to test and report back to the Gambas community any results (along with step-by-step instructions on how to accomplish it, system requirements, free space needed, etc.), I think it would be a great service to everyone.
Thanks for reading,
Godzilla
