Software you'll need to build a development version libcdio - git - autoconf (which contains programs autoconf and autoreconf) - automake - libtool (for building shared libraries) - m4 (used by autoconf) - texinfo (for building documentation) - help2man (turns help for libcdio standalone programs into manual pages) This is in addition to the software needed to build starting from a the source tar. See README.libcdio for that additional software. The source code lives the GNU software repository https://savannah.gnu.org/ The main page Savannah page is https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/libcdio/ If you check out the source code, you'll need git installed. See the git tab of the libcdio project https://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=libcdio which has an additional link for how to get "git". Once you have git: git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/libcdio.git Change into the libcdio directory that just created and run the "autogen.sh" shell script cd libcdio sh ./autogen.sh Please see README.libcdio and follow those instructions starting at step 3.
