Build and Installation
Our build system is based on autotools. For preparing the build of a SVN
snapshot you will need autotools of at least version 1.7.
Check out from SVN by
svn co http://svn.libburnia-project.org/libburn/trunk libburn
go into directory libburn and apply autotools by
./bootstrap
From tarball
Alternatively you may unpack a release tarball for which you do not need
autotools installed.
Obtain libburn-0.5.8.pl00.tar.gz, take it to a directory of your choice and do:
To build a libburnia-project.org subproject it should be sufficient to go
into its toplevel directory (here: "libburn") and execute
tar xzf libburn-0.5.8.pl00.tar.gz
cd libburn-0.5.8
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
To make libburn accessible for running resp. application development,
and to install the cdrecord compatibility binary cdrskin, do:
and to install the cdrecord compatibility binary cdrskin, do
(as Superuser):
make install
Above procedure installs cdrskin depending on libburn.so.4 .
This procedure installs libburn.so.4 and cdrskin depending on it.
For a standalone cdrskin binary, see cdrskin/README.

cd libburn-0.5.9
./bootstrap
./configure --prefix=/usr

We have a well tested code base for burning data and audio CDs and many DVD

build a presentable application.
We have a functional binary which emulates the core use cases of cdrecord in
