In fact, there is no problem in compiling gambas in Debian. You will
only have problems if you are using Debian woody because it doesn't have
the qt version needed to compile gambas. Even in that case it can be
compiled using packages from the backport repository
(http://www.backports.org/)

Using sid or sarge you can compile it correctly if you have the right
libraries installed in your system. If you don't want to use the sid &
sarge packages I maintain in Debian, or the more "experimental" and
"use-for-fun-and-test" versions I maintain in Linex, you can compile it
without any problem also because Benoît added to the sources the debian
dir structure I sent him. So, just sit down in front of your pc, and
inside the gambas source directory type:
"fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage"  or "dpkg-buildpacakage" if you have logged
in as root.
This will compile and generate all your own debian packages, or if you
don't have the development packages needed installed in your system, it
will tell you what packages you must install using apt-get.

Hope this helps.
