[gcompris-devel] [Bugs] Porting on Mac os 10.2

[bruno]

Christophe, 

Glag to see you porting gcompris to Mac. I will do my best to support
you. Can you please keep track of what to modify in gcompris and send me
a patch when your done.

For your problem, I am not sure to excatly understand your issue so I
will explain how gcompris works.
When gcompris is started, it load all the plugin it can found in the
plugin directory usually in /usr/local/lib/gcompris/lib*.so
Then it searches for menu.xml usually in
/usr/local/share/gcompris/boards/
When it loads menu.xml or any boards, gcompris get the type field and
then calls each plugin is_our_board() function that returns is this
plugin can handle this board.

Now the trick is that the initial menu that display the boards list/menu
in gcompris is itself a plugin.
So until you have ported menu.c plugin, nothing will happen :(

Hope it helps and good luck.

Hope to see gcompris on mac soon.

Bruno.
