Program documentation ======================================================= 1. Required tools and libraries =============================== 1.1 C compiler, make and other build tools ------------------------------------------ dvdisaster requires the usual GNU development tools for compiling C programs. You must have gcc, GNU make, the bash shell and the GNU fileutils and textutils packages installed. Other versions of these tools will not work and patches for them will not be accepted. FreeBSD, Linux and NetBSD typically come with suitable packages on their installation media. Sometimes these packages are not installed completely by default; you may need to install their development versions also. The additional packages are usually suffixed with "-devel" or "-dev". 1.2 Gtk+ and localization support --------------------------------- Depending on your operating system you will also need: - The gettext library http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/ - The iconv library (only for Windows) http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/ - The pkgconfig tool http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/releases - The GTK+ library version 2.2 or better, http://www.gtk.org including all auxiliary libraries. Again, the freeware Unices should have suitable packages on their distribution media. 2. Operating system specific issues =================================== 2.1 Windows ----------- 2.1.1 Getting the GNU environment for Windows For Windows the GNU tools are available in the MingW framework: See http://www.mingw.org. Building under Cygwin is not supported. The Gtk+ project offers pre-compiled Windows versions of their libraries; see http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/downloads.html for details. You'll need both the normal and "-devel" versions of the libraries. 2.2 Mac OS X / Darwin --------------------- dvdisaster was ported by Julian Einwag to Darwin, the Unix foundation of Mac OS X. Currently dvdisaster needs to be built and run as an X11 application under Mac OS X; see http://developer.apple.com/opensource/tools/runningX11.html for more information. An Aqua compatible version of the Gtk+ library is under development, but not yet stable. As soon as this changes, dvdisaster will be able to run under Mac OS X without using X11. 2.3 FreeBSD ----------- 2.3.1 Loading the atapicam kernel module by hand (tested on FreeBSD 7.1) FreeBSD does not pre-install an uniform CD-ROM driver for SCSI and ATAPI drives (as is the case in Linux and Windows). Therefore dvdisaster can not use any ATAPI drives in an out-of-the-box FreeBSD installation. To manually load the required kernel module, do: root@freebsd# kldload atapicam Use the follwing command to see if any CD/DVD/BD drives became available: root@freebsd# camcontrol devlist <NAME OF YOUR DRIVE> at scbus1 target 0 lun 0 (pass0,cd0) 2.3.2 (Optionally) loading the atapicam kernel module permanently If the above step works you can load the kernel module at boot time by adding the line atapicam_load="YES" at the end of /boot/loader.conf.local 2.3.3 (Optionally) recompiling the kernel If the atapicam kernel module is not available (check the contents of /boot/kernel) you will need to recompile the kernel with the following additional device line in the kernel configuration: device atapicam The devices ata, scbus, cd, and pass are also required, but are included by default in FreeBSD 6.0 and later. 3. Compiling the source code ============================ It is recommended to compile the source code as a normal user, not root. In the following instructions, user@host> denotes the shell prompt. 3.1 Unpacking the source code archive ------------------------------------- Please change into a directory which is writeable for you and unpack the source code archive: user@host> cd /var/tmp user@host> tar xjf dvdisaster-0.72.1.tar.bz2 Then change into the newly created directory: user@host> cd /var/tmp/dvdisaster-0.72.1 3.2. Configuring the package ---------------------------- Please note that the dvdisaster configure script is not generated by GNU autoconf, but should behave in a similar way. Call the configuration script in the usual way: user@host> ./configure The script will possibly print some errors about missing libraries. Type "configure --help" to learn about pointing configure to the correct path of already installed libraries. The "--help" option will also give information about some options which are useful if you plan to install the package to a certain location. Please note that the ==buildroot=DIR option is mainly useful for package maintainers, but will mess up things when trying a direct install via "make install". 3.3 Compiling the package ------------------------- When the configuration script finishes without error messages, compile the source code into the executable program: user@host> gmake On some systems, GNU make must be invoked as "make". Invoke the program for a quick test: user@linux> ./dvdisaster user@windows>./dvdisaster-win After a short moment the main window should open an the program is ready for use. Working with the program from the current directory (e.g. without installation) is okay. On windows two program version are provided as it is not possible to have the same binary operate in command line and window mode there. dvdisaster.exe is the command line version, while dvdisaster-win.exe provides the graphical user interface. 4. Installation =============== 4.1 Installation of the program =============================== To install the program and documentation permanently on your system, become root and do: root@host# gmake install Before doing the install, please review the output of the "configure" script or type "gmake show" to learn about the target directories of the installation. Enter "bash configure --help" to get information on changing the installation paths. 4.2. Removing an installation ============================= During the installation process a shell script is created which can be used to remove dvdisaster from your system: root@host# dvdisaster-uninstall.sh In order to remove the source code distribution, please remove the directory you have created as described in section 3.1: user@host> cd /var/tmp user@host> rm -rf dvdisaster-0.72.1 5. Program documentation ======================== The online documentation is located in the sub directory documentation/en. You can also press the respective toolbar button in dvdisaster to view the online docs. Enjoy using dvdisaster!
