But this is what we do, no? There's a package gambas3-runtime and a separate
package gambas3-ide. If your distribution doesn't have these two, it is
packaging Gambas incorrectly [1]. They might provide a package group called
"gambas3" on top, which contains everything, for convenience.

If you make an installation package of your program, the runtime will be a
dependency, but the IDE very likely not. AFAICS, Python and Java don't have
an official IDE for the language. You're free to ignore the IDE to have
the same effect.
