You can use 0.70, it's the same one except one fix for Windows.

Yes, it's the version (7000 or 7100 in this case).

For BUILD_DATE, I guess you'll have it in the config.h created in the build
folder once you have compiled with cmake (see below).

For ACTIVATION_MODE, it would be better to have the confirmation, but it
should be "inapp".

Yes, you can take a look at
http://gcompris.net/wiki/Qt_Quick_development_process#Compiling_GCompris_for_Mac_OS_X
to build the activities and the translations.
Then, in the build folder, you'll have all the rcc files and translation
files.
