snapshot you will need autotools of at least version 1.7.
Check out from SVN by libisofs is part of the libburnia project (libburnia-project.org)

Download, Build and Installation
libisofs code is mantained in a Bazaar repository at Launchpad
(https://launchpad.net/libisofs/). You can download it with:
$ bzr branch lp:libisofs
Our build system is based on autotools. For preparing the build you will need
autotools of at least version 1.7. If you have download the code from the
repository, first of all you need to execute
./autogen.sh
on toplevel dir to execute autotools.
Alternatively you may unpack a release tarball for which you do not need Alternatively you may unpack a release tarball for which you do not need
autotools installed. autotools installed.

- 24th October 2007 version 0.4.0 is the foundation of new library libisoburn
and an upcomming integrated application for manipulating and writing
ISO 9660 + Rock Ridge images. cdrskin-0.4.0 got capabilities like growisofs
by these enhancements: growing of overwriteable media and disk files.
Taking again a bow towards Andy Polyakov.
- 26th Januar 2008 version 0.4.2 rectifies the version numbering so that we
reliably release libburn.so.4 as should have been done since libburn-0.3.2.
cdrskin now is by default linked dynamically and does a runtime check
to ensure not to be started with a libburn which is older than itself.
