[Gambas-user] Release of Gambas 3.7

[Benoît Minisini]

Hi,

After a few last minutes bugs had been fixed, Gambas 3.7 has been released!

Some of the main changes are:

- A new software repository made with Gambas for Gambas. It allows to
publish and install Gambas softwares.

- Databases now can be initialized from templates automatically
generated by the IDE.

- Array accessors are now faster.

- The MySQL database driver is faster.

- The child process interface has been fixed and optimized.

- New SDL2 component.

- New scanner management component.

- New version of the report component.

See the 'Release Notes' on the wiki for the list of all new features and
bug fixes.

http://gambaswiki.org/wiki/doc/release/3.7.0

Thanks for your patience and enjoy it!

And automake, and libtool. One of them is too old.

Strange, as I sucessfully compiled and installed the development version
on Mint 17.1 a few weeks ago.

I was just checking that ...
--------------------------------
Ref: http://gambas.sourceforge.net/en/main.html
The following versions of GNU tools are needed:
automake 1.11.1
autoconf 2.68
libtool 2.4
Compiling with older version may or may not work!
-----------------------------------------
$ automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.14.1

$ autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.69

$ libtool --version
libtool (GNU libtool) 2.4.2
-----------------------------------------
I think i found it in the source files:
Reference: acinclude.m4, line 148

I think that I found something about this error as well (not that I
understand it):
reference:
----
http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/html_node/Distributing-libltdl.html
Macro: LTDL_CONVENIENCE
Macro: AC_LIBLTDL_CONVENIENCE
These macros are deprecated, the ‘convenience’ option to LTDL_INIT
should be used instead.

I think you can safely comment AC_LIBLTDL_CONVENIENCE (by adding "##" to
the beginning of the line) in the 'acinclude.m4' file. It is actually
useless.

Tell me if it works for you. I will make a 3.7.1 release with the fix in
a few days.

Regarding Linux Mint 17.1 (a.k.a. Rebecca):
Becky had some teething problems and added a bunch off fancy user
interface graphics that I did not need or want. Thus I decided to stick
with 17.0 (updated of course --- so I may have all that stuff I did not
want).
============

> Strange, as I successfully compiled and installed the development version
on Mint 17.1 a few weeks ago.<
----------------------
I install version 3.6.2 from the ppa. My abilities with 'C', 'C++', 'C#', gcc , g++, make, gbd, etc. are very limited. They are getting better. I am now capable of compiling the following 'C' program:
int main(){};
... and I am working on helloworld.c

So I created a fresh VMWware virtual machine for build Gambas. It is based on an OVF image of Linux Mint X64(OEM) with Mate desktop that I maintain for such things. That gives me a more less 'virgin' environment with new machine name, user name and password. I get the same errors on that machine as well. (I now have an backup OVF image of a 'virgin' GambasBuild machine as well ;-) The Idea is that I can create new machine, extract the new source to it and run the shell script (see attached) to build a new version (when I get it working).
===================

Progress:

1) commenting AC_LIBLTDL_CONVENIENCE in the 'acinclude.m4' file resolved the "./reconf-all" error.
(note: has to be done BEFORE the FIRST attempt to build gambas)
2) several errors produced by "make" because Mint does not install g++ by default (resolved)
3) "sudo make install" produces the following errors:
----------------------
libtool: install: /usr/bin/install -c .libs/gb.image.effect.so.0.0.0 /usr/lib/gambas3/gb.image.effect.so.0.0.0
/usr/bin/install: cannot stat '.libs/gb.image.effect.so.0.0.0': No such file or directory
make[5]: *** [install-gblibLTLIBRARIES] Error 1

make[1]: *** [install] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/gbuilder/Documents/Build/gambas3-3.7.0/main'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
----------------------
I am guessing the the "libs" (not the 's') directory is actually "~/Documents/Build/gambas3-3.7.0/main/lib/image.effect/.libs"
There are two directory entries there listed as as "link broken (inode/symlink)":
gb.image.effect.so
gb.image.effect.so.0
So I went looking to see if there were any other "broken links" ...
~/Documents/Build/gambas3-3.7.0/main/lib/clipper/.libs/gb.clipper.so
~/Documents/Build/gambas3-3.7.0/main/lib/clipper/.libs/gb.clipper.so.0

====================
Just to be sure this was not a fluke.
I replaced the image and tried again ...
second time around I got different errors;
among them are:
gbi3: warning: component gb.xml.rpc not found

I am guessing that my 'virgin' machine is missing some required libraries or dev files.
... but I have other thing to attended to. I will have to get back to this later.

Lewis

I know. GTK+3 tells when some API is deprecated, but often don't explain
how to replace it!

No idea what that is...

This is a runtime error, not an error during the installation... And
this may come from the Mint GTK+ widget style.

"libdumb.so.1"
> No idea what that is... <

Well I found two possibilities:
libdumb1-dev: libdumb1 (dynamic universal music bibliotheque)
libdumbnet-dev: libdumbnet1 (libdumbnet is known as libdnet in other
distributions)

As OpenAL (Open Audio Library) is a cross-platform audio API I decide to
give libdumb1 a try.
sudo apt-get install libdumb1-dev

That has eliminated the errors in the "makeinstall.log".

Cheers,

Lewis

P.S.
Qu'est-ce bibliotheque ?

OK, so this has to be added to the required packages.

It's "library" in french.

I have added that package to the Ubuntu installation instructions on the

Just don't instanciate your form there.

That new error message tells you that it is too early for the Qt4
library, because it is initialized just before your Main() method is
called, but after the startup class (and hence your variables) are
initialized.

I will try to initialize the GUI earlier If I can, but that's not sure.

OK, I understand the issue. It's just that this used to work with earlier
version, and it still works with GTK+.
So, this is very likely to cause unexpected problems.

It depends what the instancation of the form triggers. Qt may abort the
program if you do something that requires the GUI to be fully initialized.

Can Gambas be installed on a Raspberry Pi B+?

No idea. It should work as on other Raspberry Pis.
