Hello,

I seem to recall I used to be able to load up Gambas executable files like so:


Now when I do it I get a dialog that says "Cannot open binary file" and it loads up the IDE.

Did they change the launch command on me?

 gambas3 is the command for the IDE and can only be used on the project directory not the executable binary
gambas3 /path/to/project

gbr3  is the binary runner
gbr3 /path/to/project/project.gambas

gbx3 runs the the project folder not the binary
gbx3 /path/to/project

Thanks.

Further question, is there any way to get it to launch a Gambas executable without checking the runtime version? This has been a repeated issue when trying to get other people to try my games, and for the most part none of my programs rely on features or changes of the most recent runtime.

if you goto the project properties / options you will find the "Force bytecode version"  that will force the bytecode check to not complain if higher than your selected version.

ideally the version you should select is the one your code is compatible down to.

That helps, thanks.
