@section using Using the libraries

|

Our build system is based on autotools.
|
||||
User experience tells us that you will need at least autotools version 1.7.
|
||||
|
||||
To build libburn and its subprojects it should be sufficient to go into
|
||||
its toplevel directory and execute
|
||||
./bootstrap (needed if you downloaded from SVN and not a release tarball)
|
||||
./configure
|
||||
make

Both libraries are written in C language and get built by autotools.
|
||||
Thus we expect them to be useable by a wide range of Linux-implemented
|
||||
languages and development tools.
|
||||
|
||||
We are still practicing.

For the libburn library there is a reference and demo application

@subsection concepts Libburn library concepts
|
||||
|
||||
There are a few concepts to introduce in order for you to understand how to
|
||||
use Libburn. So, lets start with them:
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li> Read - The process of reading the data on a disc for storage or
|
||||
copying.
|
||||
<li> Write - The process of writing data onto a disc to create a new
|
||||
disc image or append to an existing one.
|
||||
<li> Drive - A Drive is a hardware device used to reading and/or writing
|
||||
discs. CD burners and CD-ROMs are examples of Drives.
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
@subsection working Working with the library
|
||||
|
||||
Now that you understand the above @ref concepts, you're ready to look at the
|
||||
actual use of the library.
|
||||
|
||||
In general, using the library to perform a process consists of the following
|
||||
steps:
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li> Initialize the library.
|
||||
<li> Depends on wether you know the persisten drive address in advance
|
||||
If yes:
|
||||
2a. Aquire this drive alone and directly by function
|
||||
burn_drive_scan_and_grab() and be done until step 5
|
||||
If no address known yet:
|
||||
2b. Scan for available Drives..
|
||||
<li>b Choose a Drive for reading/writing and inquire its persistent address.
|
||||
<li>b Shut down library, re-initialize it and like in step 2a aquire the
|
||||
chosen drive by function burn_drive_scan_and_grab()
|
||||
<li> Fill in the options for the operation.
|
||||
<li> Wait for the operation to complete, displaying status along the wayi
|
||||
if desired.
|
||||
<li> Release the Drive.
|
||||
<li> Destroy the library instance. (If you're done working with the library.)
|
||||
</ol>
