After doing all those installing commands, gambas3 doesn't open to my system
I was installed on Ubuntu 17.10,
If I write the gambas3 in the command prompt,
It was show "unable to load component"
I'm worried about it
Please give me the solution sir
Q
Can I access my PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc. database with Gambas?
A
You can currently access PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite and ODBC databases. If you want to develop a driver for another database system, tell me. You are welcome!
Q
What was its original alternative?
A
Alternative for this "Xamarin Studio,Xojo,Cevelop".
Q
Is Gambas compatible with Visual Basic™?
A
No, and it will never be! Fortunately, there are many similarities, but do not expect to take your old Visual Basic code and run it on Gambas without any change. You can go the troubleshooting page to find some examples of the differences between the two languages.
Q
What toolkits are enabled in this?
A
Qt or the GTK+ toolkit are used here for this.
Q
How do I uninstall Gambas?
A
if you have installed Gambas under /opt/gambas3, just enter the following as root:
$ rm -rf /opt/gambas3
If the installation prefix is /usr, or /usr/local (which is the default) then you have to remove each
$ rm -rf /opt/gambas3
If the installation prefix is /usr, or /usr/local (which is the default) then you have to remove each
