Actually you built some critical parts of Gambas, without any error. You can
already use the interpreter per se. But you lack a good list of components.
Enough that you won't be able to compile the IDE...

See the list I linked in my last mail. Or even better (I guess?), since you
use Ubuntu, you may immediately have a look at: [2]. The guide was updated
last in Aug 2014. Probably it is still correct.

I don't know what you mean by this. What do you look for in the help? What
tools do you mean?
