To compile the source:
./configure
make
make check
make install # may have to do this as root
If you have problems linking libcdio or libiso9660, you might try the
option --without-versioned-libs. However this option does help with
the situtation described below so it is preferred all other things
being equal.
VCD dependency:
---------------
One thing that confuses people is the "dependency" on libvcdinfo from
vcdimager, while vcdimager has a dependency on libcdio. This libcdio
dependency on vcdimager is optional (i.e. not mandatory) dependency,
while the vcdimager dependency right now is mandatory. libvcdinfo is
used only by the utility program cd-read. If you want cd-read to use
the VCD reporting portion and you don't already have vcdimager
installed, build and install libcdio, then vcdimager, then configure
libcdio again and it should find libvcdinfo.
OS Support
---------------
Support for Operating Systems's other than GNU/Linux is really based
on the desire, ability and willingness of others to help out. To date
it's been almost zip. I use GNU/Linux so that probably works
best. Occasionally, I'll test on an old Solaris box I have. Steve
Shultz has done a great job making BSDI CD support look like GNU/Linux
and usually let's me know where I've blown things on BSDI. Derk-Jan
Hartman started Mac OSX, but that's not complete yet. Calls for help
in FreeBSD (NetBSD whatever) and Solaris have gone out but no one yet
seems all that interested. Maybe it's just as well. Microsoft support
is also meager. It works on my Windows 98 laptop sort of. Personally I
find it a drag to develop on Microsoft Operating Systems and have
spent far more time on this platform than I care for. If someone is
interested in fixing the Microsoft OS support great.
