Gcompris looks like a very nice learning app for kids. Starting with version 5, it no longer depends on GNOME, only on Gtk+. Please update the ebuild. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Version 6.0 was released a few days ago.
Created attachment 32760 [details] gcompris 6.0 ebuild Modified the 4.2 ebuild to make a 6.0 one.
The ebuild I attached does not compile on my system. Although "Gnome" is no longer necessary, gnome-python is required (which requires gnome-panel, ...). That brings in a bunch of other packages to an already heavy gcompris download. Borks at: make[4]: *** No rule to make target `../../src/gcompris/libgcompris-1.la', needed by `gcompris'. In related news, someone should additionally go in and clean up the ebuild as I am not much of a developer. I just wanted to get this working for my daughter.
I downloaded the CVS and ran autoconf.sh. With a small patch to the configure file (to find gnuchess in /usr/games/bin) I can install and run gcompris fine.
Version 6.1 Stable is out
Created attachment 34623 [details] Gcompris CVS ebuild I just made a CVS ebuild that seems to compile fine. Added pygtk and gnome-python. Also has GNUchess per the old ebuild. And this is my first time making an ebuild! :) Most of it's hack and paste though. :-P Bryan
6.1 is now in portage
