No.

Flag the project as library and give it a vendor name.

Every class or module that has to bee seen from outside (in other
projects) must contain the word "Export" in the beginning.

Only public methods can be used in other projects.

If it is compiled, the IDE will install it locally in the dir

~/.local/share/gambas3/lib/vendorname

From now on you can see it in the library tab of the project dialog of
other projects.

In other projects that will rely on the lib every exported class or
module will be seen and can be accessed as

Classname.PublicMethod(...)

If cou create an installation package for a Linux distro then the
library will be installed in

/usr/lib/gambas3/vendorname

Alles Gute
