Beyond Linux® From Scratch (System V Edition) - Version 12.2

Chapter 45. CD/DVD-Writing Utilities

libisoburn-1.5.6

Introduction to libisoburn

libisoburn is a frontend for the libburn and libisofs libraries, which enables creation and expansion of ISO-9660 filesystems on all CD/DVD/BD media supported by libburn. This includes media like DVD+RW, which do not support multi-session management on the media level, and even plain disk files or block devices.

This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS 12.2 platform.

Package Information

libisoburn Dependencies

Required

libburn-1.5.6 and libisofs-1.5.6

Doxygen-1.12.0 (to generate HTML documentation), Tk-8.6.14 (for xorriso-tcltk), and libjte

Installation of libisoburn

Install libisoburn by running the following commands: 

./configure --prefix=/usr              \
            --disable-static           \
            --enable-pkg-check-modules &&
make

If you have installed Doxygen and wish to generate the HTML documentation, issue the following command: 

doxygen doc/doxygen.conf

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

make install

If you have built the HTML documentation, install it by running the following commands as the root user: 

install -v -dm755 /usr/share/doc/libisoburn-1.5.6 &&
install -v -m644 doc/html/* /usr/share/doc/libisoburn-1.5.6

Command Explanations

--disable-static: This switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.

--enable-pkg-check-modules: This switch tells the configure script to use pkg-config to check for the libburn and libisofs libraries.
