Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn et Gutsy Gibbon) / Kubuntu

Before going any further, consider using the .deb packages at; http://encryptec.net/software/gambas-packages

These instructions may well work with previous versions of Ubuntu, but I would strongly recommend upgrading to 7.04 before going any further. If you want to find the exact package versions supported on a given release of Ubuntu, it will take time. If you can upgrade first the procedure below should get you going 'first time'.

This should leave you with a working version of Gambas in usr local bin .. so if you now type in "gambas2" from the terminal session, it should start your nice new IDE.

Notes (from Ron)

If you want to develop "kde" applications (above and beyond just Qt) then you'll need to add the following to the list of packages above

Note KUbuntu (wig)

Link on desktop or in menu: the executable is in
 /usr/local/bin/gambas2

You can replace the icon by
