Releases

This page contains the official source code releases of the libburnia project.

The release tarballs below need only vanilla tools like make and cc. 

tar xzf .../lib...x.y.z...tar.gz
cd lib...x.y.z
./configure ; make

For installation execute (probably you need to be superuser) 

make install

System Requirements:

* Linux with kernel 2.4: libc, libpthread, ide-scsi for P-ATA CD/DVD drives

* Linux with kernel 2.6: libc, libpthread

* FreeBSD : libc, libpthread, libcam, libiconv, ATAPI/CAM enabled, see atapicam(4)

* On other X/Open compliant systems there will only be POSIX i/o with disk file objects, but no direct MMC operation on CD/DVD/BD drives.

Optional System Components:

* Linux : libacl, libacl-devel, libreadline, libreadline-dev, zlib, zlib-devel

* FreeBSD : libreadline, zlib

If the development and runtime part of an optional component is present at compile time, then the runtime part must be present at run time.

CURRENT STABLE RELEASES

Libisofs 0.6.20 release notes

* Optional automatic detection and recording of hard link relations between files.

* Support for restoring hard link relations by the app.

Libburn 0.6.6 release notes:

* Bug fix: Improper abort handling with broken pipe during outputto a stdio: pseudo-drive.

* Bug fix: Device scan stalled on FreeBSD with non-burner USB device

Libisoburn 0.4.0 release notes:

xorriso novelties:

* New option -hardlinks enables recording and restoring of hard link relations.

* Improved reading performance with -update_r and -extract.

* New option -for_backup as shortcut for -acl -xattr -hardlinks

* Operators with option -find : -not, -or, -and, (, ), -if, -then, -else

* New -find tests -wholename, -prune

* Bug fix: SIGSEGV with option -status and no search string

* Bug fix: -load volid did not perform pattern search

* Bug fix: Copies of overwriteable media on sequential were mistaken in ROM drives

Development Repositories

If you want to run a bleeding-edge version of libburn, libisofs, and libisoburn then you need autotools of at least version 1.7. You need svn and bzr for downloading. On FreeBSD or for release tarball production you will have to make a change in files ./ltmain.sh. See below.

Download and build libburn: 

svn co http://svn.libburnia-project.org/libburn/trunk libburn
cd libburn
./bootstrap ; ./configure ; make

Download and build libisofs: 

bzr branch lp:~libburnia-team/libisofs/scdbackup libisofs
cd libisofs
./bootstrap ; ./configure ; make

Download and build libisoburn: 

svn co http://svn.libburnia-project.org/libisoburn/trunk libisoburn
cd libisoburn
./bootstrap ; ./configure ; make

Building from Repositories on FreeBSD and General Release Tarball Production

In order to get our intended .so numbering on FreeBSD, you have to change the files 

./ltmain.sh

after they got generated by ./bootstrap from a global template file on your system (on SuSE 10.2 : /usr/share/libtools/ltmain.sh).

From 

        freebsd-elf)
          major=".$current"
          versuffix=".$current";
          ;;

to 

        freebsd-elf)
          major=.`expr $current - $age`
          versuffix="$major"
          ;;

before you run on FreeBSD 

./configure

for building our libraries from the repositories.

For producing libburnia release tarballs - regardless on what kind of system - this change must have been applied before 

make dist

so that it will not be needed when building those releases on FreeBSD.

(Sorry for the inconvenience. autotools had to choose from two undesirable alternatives on FreeBSD. Regrettably it implements the one that is not in our intention. One can change this choice in the global template file.)
