  1. Best Answer

    • 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.

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 The PPP nemh this no longer updated, now we must use this: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