[Gambas-user] Problem compiling projects

[Peter Roc]

   F7 and Alt+F7 it's the same here. About the <project>.gambas file, until
   this problem surfaced I can assure you that the files were created.

   Typing from the Lubuntu (x64, it was the only available at home), and same
   problem. Tested removing the .gambas dir and its created fine with all the
   classes there.

   The test project is working now. I'm gonna create fresh forms and copy
   everything from the older ones and see if it fixes my problem (did it once
   with a form that was misbehaving and it worked). After that I will reinstall
   Mint and see if the problem persists.

   On my system F7 is mapped to "Compile" and Alt+F7 to "Compile all". I think
   it's the same at yours. Compiling a project mostly creates compiled files in
   the hidden ".gambas" directory in your project. It does *not* create an exe-
   cutable archive (<project>.gambas file). "Compile all" is similar in that it
   compiles everything from scratch, even if some classes have not been
   modified since last compilation.
   Usually there is no visual output or waiting time (except maybe for very
   large projects) for project compilation. You can check if a compilation
   happened by going to your project directory in a file manager, deleting the
   hidden ".gambas" directory, then hitting "Compile all" in the IDE. If after
   that the ".gambas" directory is present and filled with your classes, then
   it works.

   If the problem persists after you reinstalled the whole system, it must be
   something wrong with the project (meta)data... Can you send a misbehaving
   project to the list?
   As a general advice, if you switch back and forth between Gambas versions,
   the first thing you should do is "Compile all" each project that was
   compiled with a different version of Gambas. Only then you should run it.
   But I doubt that this would fix your current problem.

   Tobi
