Installing under linux (ubuntu)

Hi,

This may have been covered under an earlier thread, if so I apologise - I cannot find it.

I have downloaded the latest .jar file in the framework, and when I enter

Quoted

java -jar Jabaco201012300500.jar
I get "Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from jabaco201012300500.jar"

I (think!) I have installed the latest Sun JRE from the repository, and I (think) I have removed openjdk-6-jre using synaptic.

I really want to get this running - can anyone help please?

Jabaco201012300500.jar is probably a Jabaco framework Jar file.
This file is not executable! It just serves as library for the Jabaco IDE.
You can rename it to Jabaco.jar and copy it into your Jabaco home directory on your Windows PC.
Make sure to save the original Jabaco.jar before raplacing it!

The IDE creates project Jar files (one Jar per project) which contain all necessary Jabaco classes.
To run a Jabaco compiled executable under Ubuntu, you have to copy such a project Jar file
to your Ubuntu system and run it there.

Success!

Thank you for your time.
The problem is that I do not have a WIndows PC! Does this mean that I cannot run Jabaco? Am I forced to use Gambas? ;)

Yes, Jabaco's IDE is platform dependent and bound to Windows.
Pure Unix aficionados are out of luck here.

"Gambas" is a new term for me.

That's a shame. Never mind, I'll use GAMBAS:

Thanks for your help.

GambasRAD.org ???
Never heard before. The news seems also be a little bit outdated (2007).

I know only the oficial GAMBAS-page at http://gambas.sourceforge.net/
and there the last news is from 2011.

Thanks for the Gambas hint.

To be honest: I am not using Jabaco for any serious development work
but rather as a mental exercise. My real work horses still are Java (Eclipse) and C# (Visual Studio 2010 Express).
