[Gambas-user] OH NO - not this ? again...

[Fernando Cabral]

Myself? I'd be benefited with a comprehensive answer to this quest. To this
moment I have not been able to create a package that, by itself, would work
in a new machine. Up to now, the solution I have found is no solution at
all: I install the whole gambas package and then copy the source directory.

It would be great to know what is the right thing to do.
