[Gambas-devel] Components name and installation

[Patrik Karlsson]

Hi,
I finally succeeded in writing my first 'dummy' component, it does not do
much, but it looks to be a valid component. :)

In the Packaging section of http://gambasdoc.org/help/dev/gambas?v3#t20 I
am told to use the name convention gambas3-vendor-name, so I'm using
gambas3-trixon-testa.

On the same page it says: "Even if the packager wizard allows to insert the
package vendor string into the package name, please avoid it."

When I create an installation package, the name
is gambas3-trixon-gambas3-trixon-testa-3.2.1 and the checkbox for prefix is
selected and disabled. My global Preference/Packaging/Prefix... is set to
"No".

Once compiled and installed the component is named gambas3-trixon-testa.
Is "gambas3-trixon-gambas3-trixon-testa" a bug in gambas or in my brain?

One more thing regarding installing,
http://gambasdoc.org/help/dev/gambas?v3#t19

"You can install the component <http://gambasdoc.org/help/def/component?v3> in
your home directory by checking the corresponding option in the "Make
executable" dialog."
I cant get this 'per user' install to work, it does not show up in gambas
among the other components. I just put my gambas3-trixon-testa.gambas in ~/.
What is the "corresponding option"?
The same component works just fine when installed globally.

ps I just returned to Gambas after almost four years I think and it's
really nice to see that it still is alive and kicking, and have matured, a
lot.
