NAME
       gbc3 - GAMBAS Compiler


SYNOPSIS
       gbc3 [options] [<project directory>]


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...

       gbc3 is the compiler that allows you to compile Gambas projects into
       architecture-independent bytecode.
