[Gambas-user] Gambas on Suse 11.4

Hi Steven,

that would be bad news for me:

Currently, I'm setting up a new server to replace my old one with Suse 
10.3. There are several rather big Gambas2 programs running on a daily 
basis. The question is, will I be able to run everything under Gambas3 
flawlessly, or will there be a lot of trouble (re-coding) involved?

Personally, I would like to update to Gambas3, but only step-by-step, i. 
e. I'd run the programs under Gambas2, then carefully updating to 
Gambas3 and make test runs before really using them (due to my 
experience from previous updates).

Anyway, in order to make Gambas run on my servers, I simply used to 
install nearly everthing under "Programming" in Yast, such as KDevelop, 
GTK, Java, Pearl, PHP... the most important ones at least. That helped 
having all necessary libraries at hand.

As far as I heard, there is the option to install KDE 3.5 on 11.4, and 
that would install qt3 in parallel, although it would not mean 
qt-develop, but maybe a first step to a trick?

Isn't there a ready-made Gambas3 rpm for 11.4 in some repository? I 
mean, if it runs on other distros, why not in Suse?
