I installed lmde4 which is cinnamon and can't install gambas ,
apt install or software manager install 3.12   but it does not have gb.form.print
if I download 3.15 from the web it will not compile
what version is available that is complete ?

Have a look here. https://forum.gambas.o…e/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=861.

I am trying to get Ubuntu to sort this but obviously no luck yet.

the compile went fine up till this point  :   mhc@laptop:~/Downloads/gambas-3.15.1$ makemake all-recursivemake[1]: Enteri - Pastebin.com

I finaly got it installed and working with the help of tobs no the gambas irc site

it seams that LMDE4 is kinda a half breed
