[Gambas-user] compiling a programm on the console

[gambas at ...1938...]

Hi Doriano!

I've kept that in mind. :-) ...during my investigations I always moved the 
executable out of the project directory, so the compiler had to do it's job!

It _seems_ to be like this:
1) Open the old source in the gambas IDE
2) Simply store it (there is no need to compile it)
3) move the old executable (just for safeness)
4) scp -r the whole project directory to the target machine
5) ssh to the target machine
6) gbc3 -va
7) gba3 -v
...and it works, like expected.

I know this description differs a little bit from my last posting, but I came 
to it, after I send my mail to the list.

Only performing steps 6 and 7 (with svn from today) on the "old" sources on 
the target machine, doesn't work.

I fiddled hours and hours to get rid of this...and there are chances, that I 
made something (anything??? :-)  ) wrong...but I have another "clean" 
machine, where I could verify this scenario. 

Greetz to Italy!! :-)))
