A simple script for installing gambas from source

Post by BruceSteers »

Here is another script for installing gambas from the source code.

This one is far simpler than my gambas3-update-compile-and-install script.

Download the gambas source and unpack it (choose dev or stable branch),
Then copy my install script into the source folder.

gambas dev: https://gitlab.com/gambas/gambas/-/arch ... ter.tar.gz
gambas stable: https://gitlab.com/gambas/gambas/-/arch ... ble.tar.gz

script: https://gitlab.com/bsteers4/gambas/-/ra ... line=false
(the script is also attached to this post)

Make the script executable and run it.
cd gambas  # (cd the unpacked source code folder)
chmod +x ./Install_Gambas.sh
./Install_Gambas.sh

When first run if you press return it outputs the commands needed for compile and install to the terminal.
If you press "I" then return it runs the install commands instead of printing them.

It just reads the .gitlab-ci.yml file and asks you to enter your system (no auto-detection is attempted)

Then prints or installs depending on your choice.

If at first you don't succeed , try doing something differently.
