Compilation
- Get the source code
- Download and Install the lastest stable version of QtCreator for Android
- Start QtCreator and open the project file GCompris.pro at the root of the source code
- Compile and run it.
To make it run on Android you need first to follow these instructions.
Adding a new activity
Let's say you want to port the algebra_by activity.
- create a directory algebra_by in src/activities:
cd src/activities mkdir algebra_by
- Copy the existing old GCompris menu
git mv menus/algebra_by.qml algebra_by/Algebra_by.qml
the svg icon is not under git so you have to pick the old GCompris's icon named algebra_by.svg and copy it in algebra_by. You can get it from the GCompris-gtk GitHub: https://github.com/bdoin/GCompris/tree/master/src
- Copy an existing activity for example 'erase'
cp erase/.qml algebra_by/ cp erase/erase.pri algebra_by/algebra_by.pri cp erase/erase.js algebra_by/algebra_by.js
- edit ../../GCompris.pro and add the line:
include(src/activities/algebra_by/algebra_by.pri) to be correct it should be kept sorted with the others
- now in QtCreator, algebra_by should appear, no restart needed
- edit algebra_by.pri and replace erase.svg by algebra_by.svg, same for the javascript and the qml file.
- in src/core, edit ActivityInfoTree.cpp and at about line 100, add '<< "algebra_by"' in the activities list.
- check algebra_by/ActivityInfo.qml that the name references you Qml activity entry point and that the icon point to your icon name.
- run GCompris and the new activity is there!
- Ok, the activity is just an extension of an existing one
- now copy and existing Activity.qml and its javascript from another activity
- If you look at erase / Activity , the root of you activity is in pageComponent:
- For the media, you have to put them in the qrc file and then reference it by qrc: in the source. The path is defined in the qrc file.
- You can see the qrc in qtcreator, it is Ressources/gcompris.qrc it is auto generated at build time
- To add new images, create a resource directory in your activity folder and in you .pri file add:
APP_FILES += \ $$PWD/resource/myCuteImage.jpg \
- And in your source use : qrc:/gcompris/src/activities/algebra_by/resource/myCuteImage.jpg
