[Gambas-user] I am trying to access a gambas library from a gambas script file. How Too?

[Brian G]

I am not sure how it works, The documents say there is a path depending upon if it is global shared or private. I was able to use it inside ide app from the global location. 

I have written a lib for some functions i needed for a project I am working on. 

I have converted it to a component which is working. 
After trying to get it working even updating the scripter to allow the keyword lib for libraries and create an entry into the project file. 
The compiler does not complain about it but does seem to ignore it as there is no output from the compiler to the .startup. 

The .startup file with my global library seems to just have the lib name :xxxx:1.0 in the .startup with no path. It looks like the runtime searches for the library in the different locations listed in the documentation. 

I am not sure what the compiler is looking for. 
I include an example of a script that needs the library, and a component install and library install 

hope this helps 

Thank You 
Brian G

Hum remember that the library must be in the same path than the executable. 
Maybe the scripter must generate a symlink in the executable path stored in the temp dir. Can you send me a sample of what you are doing so I can do some tests.

I did make it a component, works well the component page needs updated too. 
I did change gbs3 code to allow lib directive it now creates the project file correctly. But the compiler still does not see the exports. 
Posted a copy to bugtracker with a request . Maybe? 

thank you

No experience with that. But, maybe this will help?
