[Gambas-user] IDE Does Not execute App if a copy of the app is open on the computer from another source.

[Brian G]

You can not use shell as it runs the process inside a bash shell! 

to repeat this you must have installed from the Daily ppa which supports all of the terminal types. 

you must have the ide start mate or xfce4 as the terminal emulator. And start the app inside the IDE using that emulator. 

Before you start the IDE running 

You must first start the app as the native app of the same terminal emulation used by the IDE 

Hence running mate-terminal -x TestQuit.gambas & this creates a completely native copy of the app inside a terminal emulation. 

Note: the latest version of gambas3 from the daily ppa is the only version that allows to run all of the emulators correctly
