***************** Important news ****************************** For the 'Slottable Source Plugin Module' SSPM Features read README.SSPM ***************** Please Test ********************************* NEW features of cdrtools-3.02a06: This is the first localization step for cdrtools. All programs now (hopefully) call gettext() for all strings that need localization. - The next step will include dgettext() calls for the libraries. - The following step will include the extracted strings - The last step will include German translations and install support for the resulting binary message object files. ----------> Please test and report compilation problems! <--------- ***** NOTE: As mentioned since 2004, frontends to cdrtools should ***** ***** call all programs from cdrtools in the "C" locale ***** ***** by e.g. calling: LC_ALL=C cdrecord .... ***** ***** unless these frontends support localized strings ***** ***** used by the cdrtools with NLS support. ***** This version compiles on Win-DOS using the Microsoft compiler cl.exe but warning: due to missing POSIX compliance with basic features (e.g. stat() does not return inode numbers), there are many problems with the resulting code and thus it is recommended to better use a POSIX layer on top of WIN-DOS. *** WARNING *** *** Need new smake *** *** Due to the fact that schily-2014-04-03 introduced to use new macro *** expansions and a related bug fix in smake, you need a new smake *** to compile this source. To ensure this, get a recent "schily" *** tarball from http://sourceforge.net/projects/schilytools/files/ *** and call: cd ./psmake ./MAKE-all cd .. psmake/smake psmake/smake install The new smake version mentioned above is smake-1.2.4. Note that smake-1.2.5 exists and is preferrable. Now you have a new smake that is able to compile this source. Note that the major makefile restructuring introduced in schily-2014-04-03 is now more than one month ago and thus seems to work without problems. WARNING: the new version of the isoinfo program makes use of the *at() series of functions that have been introduced by Sun in August 2001 and added to POSIX.1-2008. For older platforms, libschily now includes emulations for these functions but these emulations have not yet been tested thoroughly. Please report problems! All: Libschily: - libschily: fprformat.c now compiles with format.c in a way that is useful on all possible targets by implementing a double buffered macro based internal method for fprfprmat(). This is aprox. 10% slower than the previous single buffered solution for Solaris (based on the putc_unlocked() macro) but it works anywhere and it does not have the problems with unbuffered streams (like stderr) that have been seen on Solaris since fprformat() was introduced in 2013. - libschily: js_printf() and js_fprintf() now by default uses fprfprmat() on all platforms. This reduces the performance on Solaris by 10% but it enhances the performance on all other platforms. Our "od" implementation via "hdump" is now 70% faster than "gnu od" on Linux instead of being 50% faster before that change. It seems to be a good idea to get a fast and POSIX compliant "od" implementation on Linux. - Some typos in some manpages have been fixed. Libcdrdeflt: Libdeflt: Libedc (Optimized by Jörg Schilling, originated by Heiko Eißfeldt heiko@hexco.de): Libfile: Libfind: Libhfs_iso: Libmdigest: Libparanoia (Ported/enhanced by Jörg Schilling, originated by Monty xiphmont@mit.edu): Libscg: - libscg: fix a comparison with the timeout value that was wrong because of a wrong copy/paste action. This code fragment is used when the Linux kernel returns unspecific SCSI error codes and previously caused cdrecord to incorrectly assume a timeout that than incorrectly stopped the write operation. - libscg: added a debug message (in non-silent mode) that prints the sg_io.host_status value in case of unknown states. - libscg: A new interface function "scg_opts()" has been introduced to parse and set op generic SCSI options. The only new implemented general option for now is: "ignore-resid". This option was introduced in order to be able to work around a Linux kernel bug that results in a DMA residual count != 0 even though all data was transferred. Libscgcmd: Libsiconv: Rscsi: Cdrecord: - cdrecord: A new option scgopts=list has been introduced. Call "cdrecord scgopts=ignore-resid ..." in order to work around the mentioned Linus kernel bug. - cdrecord: The man page now also mentions scgopts=ignore-resid Cdda2wav (Maintained/enhanced by Jörg Schilling, originated by Heiko Eißfeldt heiko@hexco.de): - cdda2wav: A new option scgopts=list has been introduced. Readcd: - readcd: A new option scgopts=list has been introduced. Scgcheck: - scgcheck: A new option scgopts=list has been introduced. Scgskeleton: - scgskeleton: A new option scgopts=list has been introduced. Btcflash: - btcflash: A new option scgopts=list has been introduced. Mkisofs (Maintained/enhanced by Jörg Schilling since 1997, originated by Eric Youngdale): - mkisofs call free(mroot) in main to quiet the address sanitzier. Thanks to Heiko Eißfeldt for reporting. - mkisofs: better error messages for rotten ISO-9660 directories that are encountered in multi-session mode. Thanks to Heiko Eißfeldt for reporting. HELIOS TODO: - Add the HELIOS UNICODE mapping code. This needs to be done at UCS-2 level for Joliet and UDF (instead of UTF-8) and only for Rock Ridge (in case of a UTF-8 based target locale) using UTF-8 based translations. - Make the Apple extensions work again with "mkisofs -find" TODO: - read Joliet filenames with multi-session if no TRANS.TBL or RR is present. I am looking for a volunteer for this task! Note that this can never be 100% correct as there is no relation between the names on the master (UNIX) filesystem, the ISO-9660 names and the Joliet names. Only the Rock Ridge names are untranslated with respect to the original files on the master (UNIX) filesystem. - add libecc/edc for CDI and similar. CYGWIN NT-4.0 NOTES: To compile on Cygwin32, get Cygwin and install it. For more information read README.win32 The files are located on: http://sourceforge.net/projects/cdrtools/files/alpha/ ... NOTE: These tar archives are 100% POSIX compatible. GNU tar may get some minor trouble. If you like a 100% POSIX compliant tar, get star from http://sourceforge.net/projects/s-tar/files/ of from the schily-* tarball at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/schilytools/files/ WARNING: Do not use 'winzip' to extract the tar file! Winzip cannot extract symbolic links correctly. Joerg
