[Gambas-user] Git compilation report

[Gianluigi]

Thank you Tobias,
so if I understand well, it's best to do this (in the git pull case
indicate changes):
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
cd gambasdevel
sudo make uninstall
cd
rm -rf gambasdevel/
git clone --depth=1 https://gitlab.com/gambas/gambas.git gambasdevel
cd gambasdevel
./reconf-all && LLVM_CONFIG=llvm-config-3.5 ./configure -C
make && sudo make install
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Even if Piccoro does not approve?

Regards
Gianluigi
