trying to use xcdroast on Redhat 9 and not getting anywhere

drumlinuxuser · 11-27-2003, 10:39 PM

I'm using Redhat 9 and I want to use Xcd roast to burn my audio cd's, but it's coming up with an error "the version of cdrtools does not support on the fly cd copying for audio cd's, only pure data cd's". Now it seems that I don't have cdrtools installed so I downloaded the source for cdrtools, but I can't install it. I go to use gmake to compile it and I get a lot of errors and I can't compile it or install it.... smake gives me the same errors. How can I get cdrtools installed and how can I get xcdRoast to copy my audio cd's? Has anyone else had this problem, if so, how'd you fix it?

I can't seem to get xcdroast to copy a cd without using an image directory..

Any ideas??

how about giving the errors?

I copy cd's like this:

Data CD
cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 speed=4 -isosize /dev/cdrom

Audio CD
cdrdao copy --on-the-fly --device 0,0,0 --source-device 0,1,0 --source-driver generic-mmc-raw

iceman - the errors were in my last post . One error was the "on the fly not supported by your current cdrtools version. Only pure data is supported". I guess that is the only real error that I have come up, but the other problem I have is that I don't have cdrtools installed at all.. I downloaded and did the install of cdrtools, and it said it installed 100% but when I do a rpm -qa | grep cdrtools, it doesn't show it installed at all. I downloaded the source for cdrtools, but when I compile it I get this :

[root@linux cdrtools-2.00.3]# gmake
RULES/rules1.top:213: incs/Dcc.athlon-linux: No such file or directory
sh ./conf/cc-config.sh cc incs/Dcc.athlon-linux
Trying to find cc

./conf/cc-config.sh: line 66: incs/Dcc.athlon-linux: No such file or directory
gmake: *** [incs/Dcc.athlon-linux] Error 1

whatcha think?

Thanks to /bin/bash for your input, I'll put that in my memory banks. I'd rather use the gui interface, but I really appreciate the way around gui. I'm so used to windows and have been out of the dos age for so long that I'm semi lost without gui ... Thank you

Iceman, if this makes any sense to you and you can come up with anything, I would definetly like to hear it .. thanks guys...

Do you have scsi emulation enabled for both cd's? You should have an append in /etc/lilo.conf like this:

append="hdb=ide-scsi hdc=ide-scsi"

Of course the drives may be different.
