Anyone knows a program that converts dmg to iso

2Pacalypse · 03-30-2007, 03:15 AM

Does anyone knows a decent program that is capable of converting dmg files into standard mountable/burnable ISO's? I've looked all over the Internet for this type of program but all I found was dmg2iso for Linux and some handful of Windows program. I tried to download the dmg2iso program (Linux version ofc) and tried to compile it, however first of all theres no ./configure, but If I recall its normal, some programs dont need it however when I did make he gave me a stream of errors, something about undefined variables being used. So dmg2iso is completely unusable (not even compileable) there was a perl script for it aswell however it to had a problem with the programming or something like that... so thats why I seek a converter for it. So is there any alternatives for it or something and if not where can I find a working dmg2iso file to use, I already tried its homepage (its the problematic one) and tried sourceforge but it doesnt download for me at all for these last few days(probably server-fault)

You just need to get dmg2iso to compile. How did you try and compile it?

Like any other normal program, with root I did ./configure make and makeinstall however the ./configure didnt worked because the file doesnt exist (which is normal is some programs) and the make started to give me errors about undefined variables and thus resulting in failure... nothing really special

Just a fyi, you should do ./configure and make as normal user. You only need to be root to do 'make install' or 'make uninstall'

Do you have a link to the source. I can only find a page on sourceforge for an OSX file, and one for a perl script that refuses to load.

well, I dont have the source anymore, but I do remeber the site which I got it from, vu1tur.eu.org/tools however, It doesnt seem to load for me right now so I cant really give you an exact download linux... But look for the download called "Source code", thats the one I used. theres a Perl script there too, but it didnt loaded for me either

*bump* guys, Im still here... anyone knows where I can get a normal program for this conversion or atleast a working copy of this dmg2iso program?

EDIT:
The site in back online. here the errors I got while compiling

Code:

kronos@Malkav:~$ cd /home/kronos/Desktop/dmg2iso
kronos@Malkav:~/Desktop/dmg2iso$ ./configure
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
kronos@Malkav:~/Desktop/dmg2iso$ make
rm -f *.o dmg2iso.exe
gcc -O3 -c dmg2iso.cc
dmg2iso.h:45: error: ‘__int32’ does not name a type
dmg2iso.cc: In function ‘int main(int, char**)’:

dmg2iso.cc:172: error: ‘last_in_offs’ was not declared in this scope
make: *** [dmg2iso.o] Error 1

and heres the perl prob

Code:

kronos@Malkav:~/Desktop$ ./dmg2iso.pl
bash: ./dmg2iso.pl: /usr/local/bin/perl^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
kronos@Malkav:~/Desktop$

Go to that page and download the perl script and use that. It depends on you having perl, which you probably do. To use it type dmg2iso.pl <filename.dmg> <filename.iso>

Let us know how that turns out.

2Pacalypse · 04-03-2007, 03:33 AM

same result, nothing changed. I tried this:

Code:

kronos@Malkav:~/Desktop$ perl dmg2iso.pl /home/kronos/My\ Documents/Games/Uplink\ version/MAC_UPLINK/Uplink.dmg /home/kronos/Uplink.iso
dmg2iso v0.2a by vu1tur (vu1tur@gmx.de)

PropertyList is corrupted
reading property list...kronos@Malkav:~/Desktop$

but as you see theres still a problem

Well, it sounds like your download is corrupted.

One more thing you can try. I read where somebody else was having trouble with dmg2iso and they downloaded the Windows binary verion and ran it with wine. So it would be:
wine dmg2iso.exe filein.dmg fileout.iso

If that gives you the same message, I would say the dmg file is corrupted.

I just finished using the perl script to convert a dmg to iso and I can confirm that it indeed works.

BillyGalbreath · 06-29-2007, 07:56 PM

I take that back.. The newly created ISO image is not valid - everything is complaining about it
