Hi Thomas,

At the moment, it is not possible to put components outside of the component 
directory of gambas.

It is possible to load a component at runtime with the Library.Load() 
function. But this interface is subject to change.

Components are for gambas just like drivers are for the Linux kernel.

If you want to add a component to gambas, send me the source, and tell me :

- Which libraries and includes are needed so that I modify the configure 
script (or do it yourself if you can !).

- What the name of the component is, and where I must put your sources in the 
gambas source tree. These two points are related : gb.qt.kde is located under 
the directory of gb.qt, because gb.qt.kde depends on gb.qt.

Regards,
