Sadly, GCompris was not working at all on Windows Seven. I just made a new binary version that fixes the problem. It is named gcompris-11.12-2.exe.

A minor release of GCompris named 11.12. A Chrismas gift especialy for packagers since this version fixes a lot of compilation issues on recent distributions.

Gcompris is an educational application for GNU/Linux.
We are getting close of a 1.0 Release but needs some
more people to test it extensively, please join us.

GCompris is an educational application dedicated to young children from 3 to 10.
Since version 0.6.1, GCompris is now an Official GNU Package.

Gcompris is a simple educational/recreational games based on board.
This new release add two new boards. One is a puzzle game with old painting (Impresionists).
The second let the child drive a plane and catch the clouds in the correct order.
Enjoy.

This version corrects a lot of bugs of the 0.3.2.
It also include a new board to teach to read the time on an analog clock.
I am stopping adding new board to GCompris. Instead I will
focus on making it more modular by using Gnome bonobo.
The goal is to have a framework that can plug and interact
with boards dynamically (at run time).
