[Gambas-user] Git compilation report

[Gianluigi]

Hi Christof,

First of all I apologize for the delay with which I answer you, but today
it was a day of work entirely dedicated to my wife, and in addition I
helped an Italian friend explaining how to install Gambas from Git :-D
I also wanted to make sure I understood.
Thank you very much for the step-by-step help, which is indispensable for a
tough head (goat is my logo) like me.
The next time I update from Git will do as you have clearly suggested.
Only ask you for a confirmation to see the changes, we need to watch the
commit here [0] or does a better method exist from the terminal?

With your permission I take advantage of this mail to thank the friends
Piccoro, Charlie (Karl), Tobias, Adrien, Tony you are all fantastic I am
honored that you give me yours time.

Regards
Gianluigi
