SYNOPSIS¶

gbx3 [options] [<project directory>] [-- <arguments>]

DESCRIPTION¶

Gambas is a free development environment based on a Basic interpreter with object extensions, a mix of Java(tm) and Visual Basic(tm). With Gambas, you can quickly design your program GUI with Qt or GTK+, access database systems like MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQlite or ODBC databases, pilot applications with DBus, translate your program into many languages, create GStreamer, OpenGL or SDL applications, and so on...
