[Gambas-user] make executable old bug

[Stefano Palmeri]

Hi, Benoit.

Gambas2 always fails to create the executable of a project 
in a different directory than the project directory. This is due
to a missing ".gambas" in the MakeExecutable FUNCTION 
in Project.module.

TRY MOVE Project.Dir &/ Project.Name TO ExecPath

should be:

TRY MOVE Project.Dir &/ Project.Name & ".gambas" TO ExecPath

The patch was posted by Fabien Bodard sometime ago, but the bug 
is still present in 1.9.31.

Also, I added this code to MakeExecutable FUNCTION:

IF Dialog.SaveFile() THEN RETURN TRUE
    ExecPath = Dialog.Path
    IF File.Ext(ExecPath) <> "gambas" THEN    <-----
      ExecPath = ExecPath & ".gambas"           <-----
    ENDIF   <-----                                  

because when moving the file in a different folder, 
the suffix is lost (if the user did not set it in Dialog.Path). 
The extension ".gambas" is mandatory in Gambas2, isn't it?
