Developer's corner

Branches

We use git for our development. Currently, the active branches are:

• 8.4.X (git master): WARNING: This version is deprecated version.
• 9.X (git origin/gcomprixogoo): Current version. This is where the new code is going.

To get GCompris current branch from subversion:

git clone git://git.gnome.org/gcompris
cd gcompris
git checkout -b gcomprixogoo origin/gcomprixogoo
sh autogen.sh && make

Dependencies

GCompris has a lot of dependencies. On a Debian based distribution that already packages GCompris, you can install all the required dependencies with the command 'apt-get build-dep gcompris'.
