Well, if nothing else, there's a "make source tarball" command in 
Gambas already and I submitted a patch against the last version 
to add automatic RPM building, hopefully it will show up in a 
new version soon ;)

If you build an RPM, the end user needs to have a gambas RPM 
installed (or just my new gambas-runtime RPM if they're running 
Mandrake.)  Otherwise, the user needs to have Gambas installed 
and what's in the tarball produced by Gambas is enough to run 
the app (in fact, the executable itself should be enough as long 
as Gambas is installed on the target machine.)

I agree, someone should make a wiki page about deploying Gambas 
apps.... I will not have time for a day or two myself.
