Need help with cdrecorder. Please

[Heather Considine]

I have downloaded cdrecorder tools off of one on the websites mentioned in this forum.(gmd.de?) I have downloaded makefiles and smakefiles. I am not a programmer by any means and now I have no idea what to do. Can some one please help?
P.S.
I am doing all of this so I can make a bootable ignite cd. I have done all the steps up until where I have to actually burn the cd.

Thank you so much. Heather

Once you have downloaded the software, uncompress and untar the software. Start with the Smake package. Untar that and then run do a make in the Smake directory. This should build smake for you. Then untar the cdrecord program and run the smake command (which you just build). This should build cdrecord utility. Finally do a smake install. I would recommend that you do the smake install with the -n option which should show you what is going to be installed and where.

Hope this helps.

So I have been doing it right...but
when doing a make on smake it keeps dying on me?

It is not finding a 9000/899. Will it not working on certian boxes?

[Santosh Nair_1]

I seem to remember that I had to make the 9000/899 file by copying one of the other HP conf files. But I'm going from memory. If that doesn't work, let me know, I'll try getting it compiled here and will jot down the steps that I used.

Santosh,

Thanks so much for your help. I still am having no luck. I copied a file for 899 but am still receiving errors.

checking host system type... Invalid configuration `-hp-hpux11.00': machine `-hp
' not recognized

Any ideas? I have attached a copy of the errors at the end of it compiling. Thanks.

Okay...looks like you're trying to build smake.

Here's what I did.

Get rid of the exisiting smake-1.2 directory and untar the source files again. This should recreate the smake-1.2 directory.

Next modify the file smake-1.2/DEFAULTS/Defaults.hp-ux file. Uncomment the line reading DEFCCOM=cc and comment out the line reading DEFCCOM=gcc..so after your changes, it should read:

DEFCCOM= cc
#DEFCCOM= gcc

You might also want to change the following lines to point to where you want smake installed:

LDPATH= -L/opt/schily/lib
RUNPATH= -R $(INS_BASE)/lib -L /opt/schily/lib -R $(OLIBSDIR)
INS_BASE= /opt/schily


Save and write this file. Then in the smake-1.2 directory, run make. This should make the smake executable in the psmake directory.

You could run make install to actually install the program, but assuming you didn't...

Now untar the cdrtools archive.

Again edit the Defaults.hp-ux file, i.e. cdrtools-1.10/DEFAULTS/Defaults.hp-ux, and make the same changes as above.

Finally run smake from the cdrtools-1.10 directory:

../smake-1.2/psmake/smake.

This should build all the tools in cdrtools which include mkisofs, cdrecord and cdda2wav.

Hope this helps.
