Git download

git clone git://git.gnome.org/gcompris
cd gcompris
git checkout -b gcomprixogoo origin/gcomprixogoo
cd gcompris

build gcompris development dependencies:

sudo apt-get build-dep gcompris

make sure you have the package "gnome-common" installed.

in gcompris folder:
sh autogen.sh && make

if you want do a 'sudo make install' You should be able to test a GCompris-Activity by running the following command in the 'src' directory:

sh autogen.sh && make

Create a new own activity

In the 'src' directory:

sh createit.sh basuracatcher
make
sh runit.sh basuracatcher-activity/
