Hi,

the current version of cdrkit (1.1.10) does not build on MacOS X systems
anymore. I wrote a patch based on a patch written by Ray Kohler [1].

I tested the patch and cdrkit now builds properly both on MacOS X (10.6.3)
and Debian Squeeze. However, since I'm having the same issue as reported in
Debian Bug #495184 [2], I'm not absolutely sure whether the patch
is correct.

Please find the attached patch.

Regards,

Adrian

cdrkit has been created with the intention to harm users
on Linux and by people who have no clue on  portability
and even on SCSI on Linux.

While the majority of platforms does not even allow to send SCSI commands to a
file descriptor that was derived from a device sprcific special file, the
people behind cdrkit tried to prevent people from using the platform
independent SCSI address syntax with dev=.

Given the fact that any serious work on "cdrkit" stopped on May 7th 2007, and
the fact that cdrkit represents the development state from September 2004 (with
some features like DVD support removed), I don't know why someone would be
interestred to use cdrkit instead of recent original software.

In special on Mac OS X, you would also suffer from various bugs in genisoimage
and from the fact that genisoimage does not include Mac OS X specific UDF
extensions.

"cdrkit" misses more than 60% of the features found in the current original
software. Would you be interested to run an operating system from 2004 today?

Be clever and don't try to ride a dead horse...

remember that you did not even get a reply to your bug report.
