[Gambas-user] Control Backgroung/Foreground colour

I usually use a web search engine with my problem which invariably
directs me to:

which so far has fallen short of giving me enough info to sort thing out
without pestering the mailing lists.

I mean I was lazy and ran the scripts before checking all the build tool
versions listed in [2]

I had already installed 3.5.4 from that repo but have problems with
control foreground and background and some other hard to describe
behaviour when using Picture image with controls.

Benoît said I should use the dev version which is why I am trying to
build trunk.

I must say I am a little thrown by the minor version number being so
significant.  Is it normal here for example that stable 3.5.4 has broken
features that are fixed in 3.5.90 ?

Many thanks for your help and I hope my build log gives you enough info
to fix building from trunk.

P.S. My installation of Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS is a pretty clean install
that is only about 4 weeks old on this machine.

One other thing, I am concerned with, is how much noise I am generating
and if I am going to be using daily builds might there be a danger of
generating unnecessary additional noise caused by partial commit side
effects ?
