[gcompris-devel] Gcompris on Solaris/SPARC

[bruno]

OK, do you feel comfortable providing us a patch for this.

BTW, Why do you try to have gcompris running on solaris. Do you have
solaris at home or plan to use solaris within a school ?

For example, on the Solaris Companion CD, which includes a mess of stuff like Emacs, GCC, KDE, Python, et cetera, not a single package appears to use scandir or alphasort.  It *looks* like these functions are "generally" replaced with opendir/readdir/closedir for portability.
