If you are building from the git repository, you will
need the software listed in INSTALL. Additionally you will need:

   - git (version control for checking out source code)
   - 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)

If you have this

   cd <parent directory for source code>
   git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/libcdio.git
   cd libcdio 
   sh ./autogen.sh 

Then follow instructions in INSTALL.
