Installation of Cdrtools

[Note]

Note

This package does not support parallel build.

Install Cdrtools by running the following commands: 

export GMAKE_NOWARN=true &&
make -j1 INS_BASE=/usr DEFINSUSR=root DEFINSGRP=root

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

export GMAKE_NOWARN=true &&
make INS_BASE=/usr MANSUFF_LIB=3cdr DEFINSUSR=root DEFINSGRP=root install &&
install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/cdrtools-3.02a09 &&
install -v -m644 README.* READMEs/* ABOUT doc/*.ps \
                    /usr/share/doc/cdrtools-3.02a09

Command Explanations

export GMAKE_NOWARN=true: This variable avoids a warning when using GNU make.

INS_BASE=/usr: This parameter moves the install directory from /opt/schily to /usr.

DEFINSUSR=root DEFINSGRP=root: These parameters install all programs with root:root ownership instead of the default bin:bin.

MANSUFF_LIB=3cdr: This parameter prevents Cdrtools from overwriting important pages which are already installed by LFS. The installed man pages of section 3 will have a suffix 3cdr and can be shown using man 3cdr <manpage>.
