Hello  Mac User

In the past I recompiled an old version of gcompris for Osx ppc 10.4.
The gcompris version was 6 or 6.1.

Yves combe compiled a newer version, but I had problems with gtk library 
on osX.

here's the way to do it according to Yves

Hello every body

I finally got a working gcompris on MacOSX 10.4.8

Some screnshot (in this case, people like screenshots):
http://fynl.free.fr/vrac/gc/osx/

It's compiled with GTK/aqua port from imendio (no need for X11):
http://developer.imendio.com/projects/gtk-macosx

This gtk aqua port it's still broken, look on the admin screenshot, or 
in the gtk colorselector here:
http://fynl.free.fr/vrac/mypaint/MyPaint_OSX.jpeg

The localisation looks briken too: sounds stay in englesh, but some 
strings are in french. I supperssed libiconv from link, it's maybe related.

Anyway here the way to get it:
- compile gtk osx with imendio script. It provides a ready to use shell 
to get compilation in right environnement for the rest:
- compile pycairo and pygtk (needs suppress manually of docs subdir in 
Makefile.am. I don't need docs). I compiled them with osx included 
python (2.3).
- compile libart_lgpl
- compile libgnomecanvas. I manually suppressed libcanvas from 
Makefile.am. I don't need it
- compile pysqlite2
- sqlite included osX does not have a .pc file (pkg-config). I put one 
manually.
- GMSGFMT détection looks broken. run autogen with GMSGFMT variable.
GMSGFMT=/Users/yves/opt/gtk/bin/msgfmt 
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig/ ./autogen.sh --disable-gtk-doc 
--disable-static --enable-shared --disable-scrollkeeper 
--prefix=/Users/yves/opt/gtk/

Some modification in gcompris. Almost all in Some Makefile.am:
- suppress $LIBICONV) from the gcompris LDADD. It make a warning, fatal 
because of -Werr, and  look's not needed.
- suppress -u Py_initialize
- add #define NO_IMPORT_PYGOBJECT 1 before #include <pygobject.h>
- manually supress the SDL and SDL_detection from configure.in. I used 
SDL and SDL_mixer frameworks for OSX.. Needs add SDL/ and SDL_mixer in 
#include, eg: #include "SDL.h" needs to be #include <SDL/SDL.h>


All will this needs to be set from configure.in/Makefile.am files, of 
course. But it works.

the links are not updated!!!!!

If you are interested by the two packages, I'll upload them on a server.

Have a nice day
