How can I install gambas3 on ubuntu?

Solution 1

• gambas3 is available from official repository only for Ubuntu 13.04 or later

  See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gambas3

• For edge releases of gambas3 or previous Ubuntu (<=12.10)

  1. Use this PPA https://launchpad.net/~nemh/+archive/gambas3

     sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nemh/gambas3
     sudo apt-get update
     sudo apt-get install gambas3
     

  2. gambas3 is a single package (from ppa), we need to create a meta/dummy packages which cover all gambas3 expected packages (gambas3-gb-runtime, gambas3-gb-image...)

     sudo apt-get install equivs
     
     equivs-control gambas3-gb-runtime
     equivs-build gambas3-gb-runtime
     sudo dpkg -i gambas3-gb-runtime-dummy_*.deb
     

     Same step for all gambas3-gb-* packages

     See Creating Dummy Packages On Debian

  3. Install yumi

Note:

equivs is good way to resolve such dependency problems, when dependencies are installed from source or 3rd party packages.

Some changes may be needed to the created file by equivs-build, Like: Version to confirm the dependency condition.

Solution 2

The PPP nemh this no longer updated, now we must use this:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gambas-team/gambas3  
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gambas3

see @Julio Sanchez answer below as the PPA above will not work with Trusty...
