This is exactly what Cristian Abarzua F. (craf) tried to achieve. But it did it by hand, I tried to help him, but we encountered problems. Apparently 'cde' seems to work, so I should try it and integrate it inside the IDE packager. So, no I'm not fully against that kind of package now. Except that users should be aware of the following: - They will be bigger (imagine a full Gambas GUI program relying of a lot of components). - System security fix and updates won't apply to them. So packagers must regularly repackage them. (Same nightmare as in windows).
