CD-RW tools

Oliver Schmitz — Wed, 11 Jun 2003 14:18:20 GMT

Hi again,

I try to install some additional toools to use my periphereals and make my HP-UX 11.i TCOE system more comfortable. Doing this I run into some trouble with the usage of our "HP cd writer cd16 series" cd writer. I installed the newest (? I am not totally sure, it was B.11.00.02 in both cases) version of CDRecord and XRoast.
I am used to find the executables anywhere in /usr/local/bin or /usr/contrib/bin if it is an hp product. This time I only found stuff concerning these tools in /var(adm/sw/products/CDRecord (XRoast). Now I have two questions:

1.) Is it correct, that now other stuff of these tools is foundable at any other place?

2.) In both cases is an checkinstall script which gives the error that the patch PHKL_24283 have to be installed. This script is not installed (swlist -lfilesets/-lproducts) and I downloaded it. Unfortunately it is not instlable and tells me that there is a version which would have overwritten this version.

How can I bring my CDwriter tools in a running mode?

Thank you for all hints,

Oliver

Hi,

as far as i know cdrecord and xroast are no HP products. These are portings from teh Linux versions.

As optional software is normally installed in /opt you might find it there.

If not, you could install this software "by hand". As depot files are basically tar files you can extract the contents of the depot using tar. You will see from the extracted structure where the software should have been installed. Just copy the software to the desired directory.

Hope this helps

Regards Stefan

Hello Oliver ...

If you installed the software as a bundle, you might also get the target dirs by checking in swinstall. Just double click on the package name and the cascade on the available bundles ...

The second point indicates that there's already a patch installed, which is newer than your 24283 ...

...

Maybe you have PHKL_27225 or PHKL_28062 installed. Both patches superseed PHKL_24283

So I guess you'll have to modify the installation script ...

Thank for all hints.

I finally found a README.pdf and USERGUIDE.pdf on the CD and all I want to know is described within these files.

/opt/OpenSource is the place to which the sw is installed.

It is indeed no origin HP-Product.
www.xcdroast.org is a good source to get information.

And it runs fine as far as I can see.

By and alle the best, Oliver

fyi Starting with the March 2002 media, XcdRoast is included on the Application CDs.

installs in /opt/OpenSource/bin/xcdroast

The XcdRoast product included with the March 2002 media is missing a dependency
enforcement of another product, CDRecord. CDRecord shares the CDRW bundle "Open
Source SW for Workstation CDRW" with XcdRoast, so the CDRecord product will be
found on the same Application CD. Installing the CDRecord product will install
the necessary MKNOD.hpux script.

Hi Alex,

thank you for this way through the sw interplay. I found the sw you mentioned and installed it from the application CD. Unfortunately the contented checkinstall script is still searching for the PHKL_24283 patch. At the state of installing this software the system should be patched at least with the support plus patches. And they contain patches (see above) which replace the further one mentioned above. But nevertheless the sw is working fine.

Thanks for your hints at all.

Oliver
