I'll have a look at it over the weekend though. Was there a reason that you wanted it without python? From what I understand there isn't anything in gcompris using it yet, they just added the framework for it, so that boards can be written in python. > Right. But afair my very first attempt to update gcompriss was 4.9 (gcompriss release) and that time gcompriss failed to build w/ python support. Since I don't like snakes for some reason I switched their support off. But built w/o python support gcompriss complained at run-time about missed pyton module plus I got few abort()s related to python integration randomly walking through the game boards while testing. All this give me impression that port is not safe for parents yet ;-) To be honest I did not try 5.0-2 versions with python support. May be something changed since 4.9 time and you will be more lucky. Let me know.
