[Gambas-user] Creating a library....

[Demosthenes Koptsis]

i use a module not a class.

the easy way is to copy/insert the gbLibc module file to your project 
and start using it.

the other way is to compile it as library not component.

this is my question. In a library project do we need Main module (i use 
command line project)?
