I fear there is none. If you create and use own libs you have to
distinguish between development and production.

Development:

At development time a lib has to be defined as such (type "library" in
the project dialog) and "vendor" has also to be defined with an unique
name. If you compile the project, the IDE places the lib in

~/.local/share/gambas3/lib/[vendor]/

say ...

~/.local/share/gambas3/lib/yourname/

And all other projects can use the libs residing in
~/.local/share/gambas3/lib

Production:

If you create a installation package from a library project and install
it on any system with Gambas3 on it (even your development system), the
libs will be installed in

/usr/lib/gambas3/yourname

A project which depends on a lib will search for it there.

The naming of the lib is always like that:
yourlib:1.4.gambas

Which includes the version string, so that different versions of libs
can reside together in the lib directory.


Alles Gute
