Note

An Internet connection is needed for some tests of this package.

Installation of libcddb

By default this package accesses freedb.org, which is already closed. Modify the default to use gnudb.gnudb.org instead, and fix two stale test data files: 

sed -e '/DEFAULT_SERVER/s/freedb.org/gnudb.gnudb.org/' \
    -e '/DEFAULT_PORT/s/888/&0/'                       \
    -i include/cddb/cddb_ni.h                          &&
sed '/^Genre:/s/Trip-Hop/Electronic/' -i tests/testdata/920ef00b.txt &&
sed '/DISCID/i# Revision: 42'         -i tests/testcache/misc/12340000

Fix a problem building with gcc-14: 

sed -i 's/size_t l;/socklen_t l;/' lib/cddb_net.c

Install libcddb by running the following commands: 

./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-static &&
make

To test the results, issue: make check -k. The test suite needs the Internet connection. One test fails due to missing test server.

Now, as the root user: 

make install
