[Gambas-user] New MaskBox control

[Michael]

Benoit,
Great Idea. I have installed version 3447 and confirmed this with svn 
-info but I cannot find the MaskBox in the toolbox. This may be my lack 
of Linux. I have installed with:
cd trunk
svn update
./reconf
./configure -C
make

When I look at the properties of file /usr/local/bin/gbx3 it has a 
modified date of 2nd Dec 2010. Is this correct? Is there a step in the 
installation that I have missed?

Regards
Michael
