===== xorriso not found ===== #xorriso_not_found
This message is issued by programs which use [wiki:Xorriso xorriso] for
producing ISO 9660 filesystem images. E.g. by GRUB2's grub-mkrescue.
Executable xorriso binaries are normally contained in software packages
named "libisoburn" or "xorriso".
If your operating system does not offer such a package, then consider
to get the [http://www.gnu.org/software/xorriso#download GNU xorriso]
source tarball. For instructions read in its
[http://www.gnu.org/software/xorriso/README_xorriso README file]
the paragraph "Compilation, First Glimpse, Installation".
With grub-mkrescue it is possible to use the resulting binary without further
installation. Just submit its absolute path with option --xorriso=. E.g.:
{{{
grub-mkrescue --xorriso=$HOME/xorriso-1.3.8/xorriso/xorriso -o output.iso
}}}

Volunteers are wanted who make a collection of use cases, ask at bug-xorriso
for xorriso instructions to fulfill the needs, and describe both in a
user-readable manner.
Up to then, the GUI demo [http://svn.libburnia-project.org/libisoburn/trunk/frontend/README-tcltk xorriso-tcltk]
([http://www.gnu.org/software/xorriso/xorriso-tcltk-screen.gif screenshot])
may serve as interactive exploration tool. It needs xorriso >= 1.2.4, Tcl,
Tk >= 8.4, optionally Tcl / Tk package "BWidget".
{{{

starts the GUI and will log the essential xorriso commands in the start
terminal. I.e. click on "Scan for drives" and learn that this operation
is triggered by xorriso command "-devices".
Click the rightmost mouse button while being over any of the GUI elements
in order to get the particular help text for that element.
Have [http://www.gnu.org/software/xorriso/man_1_xorriso.html man xorriso]
ready to learn what the particular commands mean.
===== xorriso create ISO image ===== #xorriso_create_iso
{{{
xorriso -outdev $HOME/result.iso \
-map /home/me/sounds /sounds \
-map /home/me/pictures /pictures
}}}
This points the output to file $HOME/result.iso, which should not yet exist.
Then it maps disk directory /home/me/sounds to ISO directory /sounds,
and /home/me/pictures to /pictures.
At program end, the ISO image gets produced and the contents of the
two directory trees gets copied into the ISO.
If you have experience with program mkisofs, you may also use its
emulation by xorriso:
{{{
xorriso -as mkisofs \
-o $HOME/result.iso \
-graft-points \
/sounds=/home/me/sounds \
/pictures=/home/me/pictures
}}}
See [http://www.gnu.org/software/xorriso/man_1_xorriso.html man xorriso]
for xorriso native commands.
See [http://www.gnu.org/software/xorriso/man_1_xorrisofs.html man xorriso]
for its mkisofs emulation.
