You don't.  Application packages created by Gambas should only require 
the
interpreter (the gambas-runtime package, on Mandrake at least) and 
any components needed by your specific project.  No IDE, unless your 
program is an extension to or hack of the IDE (like fakebas.)

For example, the new Gambas documentation system Benoit is working on 
requires only gambas2-runtime, gambas2-gb-db, and 
gambas2-gb-db-mysql, and that's all I installed on the server.

As for the examples, they were missing for 2 or 3 releases not too 
long ago until one of us noticed and complained about it, so clearly 
they're not required for anything.

I continue to package "gambas-complete", which includes everything, 
simply because it's still smaller than a typical java, perl, python 
or mono installation and allows people who don't believe in package 
management (fie upon you all ;) ) to try Gambas.
