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

You may verify the downloaded tarballs by help of the provided Signature files lib...x.y.z.tar.gz.sig.

gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys ABC0A854
gpg --verify lib...x.y.z.tar.gz.sig lib...x.y.z.tar.gz

which should confirm

gpg: Good signature from "Thomas Schmitt <scdbackup@gmx.net>"
Primary key fingerprint: 44BC 9FD0 D688 EB00 7C4D  D029 E9CB DFC0 ABC0 A854

For building the libraries do

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 IDE CD/DVD drives
Linux with kernel 2.6 or newer: libc, libpthread
FreeBSD : libc, libpthread, libcam, libiconv, atapicam for IDE and SATA drives.
Solaris : libc, libpthread, libvolmgt
NetBSD : libc, libpthread
OpenBSD : libc, libpthread
Other X/Open compliant systems: libc, libpthread. 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, libjte, libbz2.
Other systems: libreadline, zlib, libjte, libbz2.
libedit can substitute for libreadline. See libisoburn/README.

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. See ./configure --help for enable/disable options.

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 git 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:

git clone https://dev.lovelyhq.com/libburnia/libburn.git
cd libburn
./bootstrap ; ./configure ; make

Download and build libisofs:

git clone https://dev.lovelyhq.com/libburnia/libisofs.git
cd libisofs
./bootstrap ; ./configure ; make

Download and build libisoburn:

git clone https://dev.lovelyhq.com/libburnia/libisoburn.git
cd libisoburn
./bootstrap ; ./configure ; make

Building from Repositories on BSD and General Release Tarball Production

Above release tarballs are well prepared for FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD. But build step ./bootstrap, which is necessary when building from repositories, imports some undesirable settings from a vanilla autotools installation.

In order to get our intended .so numbering on FreeBSD (library.so.SONAME), you have to change the file ./ltmain.sh after it got generated by ./bootstrap from a global template file on your system.

For NetBSD and OpenBSD, the file ./aclocal.m4 must be edited and ./ltmain.sh probably needs another change.

This must be done before anybody runs

./configure

on FreeBSD, NetBSD, or OpenBSD.

For FreeBSD the change in ./ltmain.sh is from

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

to

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

To get the .so numbering scheme of NetBSD and OpenBSD (library.so.SONAME.age), make sure that ./aclocal.m4 sets version_type to "netbsd":

netbsd*)
    version_type=netbsd

openbsd*)
    version_type=netbsd

which ./ltmain.sh has to interpret by

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

The new case block should be inserted after the one for freebsd-elf).

./ltmain.sh stems from e.g. /usr/share/libtool/config/ltmain.sh.

./aclocal.m4 stems from e.g. /usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4. On my system there are cases for netbsd*) and openbsd*) which set version_type to "sunos".

For producing libburnia release tarballs - regardless on what kind of system - this change must have been applied and ./configure must have been run 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.)
