GCompriXO is a development branch of GCompris which focuses on Sugar integration. Once complete, it will be the base of all future development in GCompris.
Currently, there as been two major changes in GCompris related to the XO: - we removed libsdl_mixer as our audio backend and replaced it by gstreamer (already in gcompris trunk). - Screen size Independence. We rely on the scaling feature of the gnome canvas to size our window to the user screen. We no more use xvidmode. There is a drawback in term of quality, moving to svg should help but currently the gnome canvas and our code does not use the svg native scaling feature. - changed the way we organize activities in our code. Now each activity has its own directory. This makes it easy to package independent activity instead of having a big GCompris that contains all of them. To test it: svn co svn+ssh://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/svn/gcompris/branches/gcomprixo gcomprixo cd gcomprixo sh autogen.sh --disable-sqlite && make To test one acytivity: cd src/fifteen-activity/ ./runit.sh To create an independant 'bundle' (not at the sugar standard yet) tar -cvhzf wordprocessor-activity.tgz wordprocessor-activity/ --exclude .svn --exclude wordprocessor-activity/resources/skins/babytoy/ If you want translations, you can run a make install to have them installed in /usr/local/share/locale and then in an activity directory do: ln -s /usr/local/share/locale/ . ./runit.sh (and it's translated) What's left to do: - add missing makefiles to make full GCompris installation to work as before - sound support is broken The most important for sugar: - sugarize gcompris binary. On this one, I need help. I have seen that we need to have dbus support. I could not find documentation on that point, can someone point me on the right direction. - add a make sugarbundle to create on the fly bundles for sugar - add a way to build the sugar activity.info file - add a sugar compliant svg icon -- Bruno Coudoin http://gcompris.net Free educational software for kids http://toulibre.org Logiciel Libre à Toulouse _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
