[Gambas-user] I have an error [45] File or directory does not exist. Form1.?.0

[skaggs]

NO I understand my project directory is read only.

My program runs fine.

If I make an ubuntu installation package.  It installs my application
and runtime libraries.

But to run my application the end user right now has to manually install
the wwmkr directory with all of its subdirectories and data files.  Then
the project executable wwmkr.gambas must be ran from inside of that
directory.  Thats becuase the program is using application.path/themes
or application.path/project to find it's needed files. Of course I could
rewrite the program to use user.path&/"wwmkr" but I would still need to
know how to get the package maker to install the directory and data
files.  Or do I need to have that done as second step in the
installation process.

I am sorry if my explanation is confusing.
