The K3b package contains a KF5-based graphical interface to the Cdrtools and dvd+rw-tools CD/DVD manipulation tools. It also combines the capabilities of many other multimedia packages into one central interface to provide a simple-to-operate application that can be used to handle many of your CD/DVD recording and formatting requirements. It is used for creating audio, data, video and mixed-mode CDs as well as copying, ripping and burning CDs and DVDs.
Though k3b can be used to copy almost any DVD to similar medium, it does not provide a way to copy, or reproduce a double-layer DVD onto single-layer medium. Of course, there is not a program anywhere on any platform that can make an exact duplicate of a double-layer DVD onto a single-layer disk, there are programs on some platforms that can compress the data on a double-layer DVD to fit on a single-layer DVD producing a duplicate, but compressed, image. If you need to copy the contents of a double-layer DVD to single-layer medium, you may want to look at the RMLCopyDVD package.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-8.1 platform.

This package has been extracted from the developer's git repository because a stable kf5 based release has not yet been made. It extracts to the directory 'k3b'.
KDE Frameworks-5.37.0, libkcddb-17.08.0, libsamplerate-0.1.9, and shared-mime-info-1.8
There are programs from three packages that k3b will look for at runtime: Cdrtools-3.02a07 (required to burn CD-ROM media), dvd+rw-tools-7.1 (required to burn or format DVD media), and Cdrdao-1.2.3 (required to burn CD-ROM media in DAO (Disk At Once) mode). If you don't need the capability provided by any of the three packages, you don't have to install it. However, a warning message will be generated every time you run the k3b program if any are not installed.
FFmpeg-3.3.3, libdvdread-5.0.3, and taglib-1.11.1
FLAC-1.3.2, LAME-3.99.5, libmad-0.15.1b, libsndfile-1.0.28, libvorbis-1.3.5, libmusicbrainz-2.1.5, and Musepack (libmpcdec)
User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/k3b
Install K3b by running the following commands:
If you use the download link from a browser, you might get a file
called k3b-2.0.3a.tar.gz: there are
both 2.0.3 and 2.0.3a versions in that directory. There is an
old report online which claims that two files in these tarballs
differ, but both extract to k3b-2.0.3 and have the same md5sum.
mkdir build &&
cd build &&
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$KF5_PREFIX \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \

This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
make install
