Maybe I am doing something wrong, but the GambasAppInstallMaker did not solved the problem. It gathered the depdndencies, and created the .sh witch I run via sudo at a terminal with no errors. Then the Software manager installed the deb, but there was a conflict between gb versions:
-the SH installed 3.15.2,
-deb needed 3.16 (stable PPA)

, so my app couldn't run. I will investigate AppMain or other options.
Thanks anyway.

the installer does not install any particular version, the version it installs depends on how you have apt set up.

if you need the ppa stable version you have to add the ppa to your apt and run apt-get update
not just use the default version your distro has on it's repo.

That's down to you not my installer.
the installer installs your apps dependencies (gambas components) gambas components your app needs.

try this to add the gambas stable ppa and re-install the newer gambas version...

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gambas-team/gambas3
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get purge gambas3*
sudo at-get install gambas3*

Topic solved after some years!

I successfully package my gambas apps as AppImage with the following guide: https://appimage-builder.readthedocs.io ... mbas3.html

Note: the full path of the gambas project must to be without space.
The AppImage compiled for Ubuntu 20.04 works better than 22.04 on Ubuntu 18.04 and Ubuntu 22.04.

To package a Gambas app as AppImage, use the builder:

Code: Select all

appimage-builder --recipe MyRecipeGambas.yml
Here is two examples of recipe YML for build with AppImage builder:

From the demo:
