[Gambas-user] Normal installed application vs gambas executable

Since a fix a while ago normal applications will install into /usr/bin
without the gambas extension, when installed from a package made from
IDE.

When making an executable from IDE, the application does have the gambas
extension.

When on Ubuntu based distros I can double click the executable with
gambas extension and run it, even on another PC, as long as Gambas3 is
installed.

When sending executables to someone with openSuSe he can't run the
executable and always need to make a symlink before being able to run
it.

I was playing with the add on idea of having a folder where the add ons
would be located. As I made it now the add ons are gambas executables in
the add on folder, and the run from menu within the main application.

But when I would move this to openSuSe i would get into trouble as the
executables wouldn't run and would require sysmlinks.
So I will have to find a work around to get it going on all
distributions.

My questions:
1. Is it Gambas or distribution related?
2. If gambas related: Why this different approach?
