Oh. Since I have neither an ARM nor a Debian-based distro, I can't even dare
to guess further...

There is, however, one thing that makes me curious: When you cannot compile
"gambas3", this means that you don't have the necessary components
installed. This in turn means that you don't have the necessary packages
to compile these components. Now, you installed a .deb - so you should have
everything right there to compile gambas3, no? Because if packages are
still missing now for compiling gambas3, your installation must be broken...
Am I wrong in any point?
