At the moment GSSMP is primarily developed by Andy Balaam, but I'd welcome help in the form of UI designs, suggestions, code patches and information.
Code and bug fixes have been contributed by:
GSSMP is written in C using the GTK, GConf and gstreamer libraries. It is a learning exercise for me because I want to get more involved with GNOME development. (Any comments on how to integrate better with GNOME would be gratefully received.)
To compile the program from source you will need the development libraries for gnome, gconf, and gstreamer (mail us if that list is missing something!). To modify the UI you will need glade 2. On Ubuntu you can simply run:
sudo apt-get install libgstreamer0.10-dev libgconf2-dev libgnomeui-dev glade-gnome
Download the source tarball from the source download page and untar and compile it like so:
tar -xzf gssmp-*.tar.gz
cd gssmp-*
./configure
make
cd src
./gssmp
There are more details in the file INSTALL which is included in the tarball. If something goes wrong email the mailing list and we'll try to help.
The GSSMP source is stored in a Git repository. To download and compile the latest code, ensure you have Cogito installed.
On Ubuntu, getting Cogito is just a matter of:
sudo apt-get install cogito
To build and run GSSMP, run these commands:
cg-clone http://www.artificialworlds.net/gssmp/git/gssmp.git
cd gssmp
./autogen.sh
make
cd src
./gssmp
