Does only work you already have gambas installed and won't work at all
for chroot build.
You have in main/share/gb_file_temp.h:

snip

   if (!path)
      path = GAMBAS_LINK_PATH;
  }
  else
  {
                path = GAMBAS_PATH "/gbx" GAMBAS_VERSION_STRING;
  }

snip

GAMBAS_LINK_PATH is defined in main/share/gb_component.h as :

#define GAMBAS_LINK_PATH  "/usr/bin/gbx" GAMBAS_VERSION_STRING

and GAMBAS_PATH is defined by -DGAMBAS_PATH= which point to $(bindir) so
both are set to $(bindir) for an /usr install.
Without to have gambas2 installed ( means in a chroot I have add gamabas
as makedepend for gambas which is a bit crazy )
I need such a ' make
bindir=/point_to_my_install_patch_from_chroot/usr/bin' to get it
compiled. I've send you a email about this issue some time ago
but never got any answer and I really forgot about :)
