Usage

gbs3 [options] [--] [{<script file> | -}]

gbs3 --convert-project <source project directory> <destination script directory>

Overview

Gambas is a free development environment based on a Basic interpreter with object extensions, a mix of Java(tm) and Visual Basic(tm). With Gambas, you can quickly design your program GUI with Qt or GTK+, access database systems like MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQlite or ODBC databases, pilot applications with DBus, translate your program into many languages, create GStreamer, OpenGL or SDL applications, and so on...

gbs3 is the interpreter that allows you to compile and execute a Gambas script.
gbs3 may also be used to convert a gambas project to a script

Options

-b, --buildonly: process and compile the script without executing it

-c, --nocache: force the script compilation (do not check cache)

-e: execute the source code provided by the command line ( ':' separator )

-f, --fast: use just-in-time compiler TP -g, --debug add debugging information to application

-h, --help: display help and exit

-l, --list: display a list of available Components or Libraries, '-l component' or '-l library'

-L, --license: display license

-S --strict: fail if 'Public' or 'Sub' are defined without a 'main' function otherwise create main()

-t, --trace: turn on tracing option during execution

-T, --terse: only print a very terse error report on compile errors

-u, --use: load component or libraries ('comp1,comp2,lib1...')

-v, --verbose: be verbose

-V, --version: display version

-w, --warnings: display warnings during compilation

--convert-project: convert a simple project to a script

Project conversion

gbs3 can convert a gambas project to an executable script file using the --convert-project option.
The input project directory is used to createthe script which is written to the output script directory.
The script is created and named the same as the originating project.
