[Gambas-user] Need help getting Gambas to run on an ARM module

[Bruce Cunningham]

Benoît,

I got it installed.  I did a clean load of the OS image, and built Gambas 3.9.2 from source.  So, I don't know if something got updated in the tool chain since I tried it last time (about two weeks ago)?

One quick question.  How do I make a backup copy of Gambas so I don't have to compile it again if I need to re-load the OS image in the future?  It took most of the day to compile on this module!

Thanks for everyone's help!!!

Bruce

I did that a long time ago to fix some bugs, but on emulation, so it was slow as hell. No difference with compiling on x86.

Do you get the "illegal instruction" trap or the "illegal instruction" 
Gambas interpreter error message?
