Branches

We use git for our development. The git repository is hosted by Gnome but we also have a local web viewer.

To get the GCompris master branch (warning this takes more than 500MB) :

git clone git://git.gnome.org/gcompris
cd gcompris
sh autogen.sh && make

Alternatively, if you are only interested in the recent history, and would want to send in fixes as patches, you can use the option: git clone --depth=1 git://git.gnome.org/gcompris. It will save you more than 100MB.

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'.

Translations

Packagers

GCompris is a large software which has numerous dependencies. We ask packagers to be very careful and follow this minimal and manual test process.
