# @(#)README.win32 1.7 02/12/16 Copyright 2000 J. Schilling cdrecord-1.8a22 or later can be compiled on Win9X/NT4 using Cygnus' cygwin which is freely available from: http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/ or http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ To compile on Cygwin, get Cygwin by executing setup.exe You will need approx. 120 MB to install a full cygwin developer release. Get the tar'ed cdrtools source and unpack it with 'gnutar' or 'star', e.g. Start a bash command line window and type: star -xpz < cdrtools-1.10.tar.gz don't use winzip to unpack the tar archive, it will not unpack symlinks correctly. Then (from the bash command line window) run 'make' ... If you have problems with GNU make, get 'smake' from: ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/smake/alpha/ /*--------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ A bash window is available from the START -> Programs -> Cygnus Solutions menu or by clicking at the Cygwin Logo on the desktop. /*--------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ Pre-compiled current 'cdrtools' Win32 binaries which should run on W95, W98 and WNT are available from: ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/win32 To use the pre-compiled binary, put the files cygwin1.dll, mount.exe as well as the files: cdrecord.exe - The CD recording program cdda2wav.exe - The DAE (Digital Audio Extraction) program mkisofs.exe - The ISO-9660/Rock Ridge/Joliet Filesystem formatter readcd.exe - A simple program to extract CD-ROM raw data to a file in your WINDOWS binary directory and from a Command/MS-DOS (or bash) window type: cdrecord -help for usage, see also: http://www.fokus.fhg.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/private/man/cdrecord.html All programs in this directory are Unix command line utilities and know nothing about DOS/WIN. They run in a POSIX subsystem that is supplied by cygwin1.dll. Therefore all directory names are given in Unix (POSIX) format (i.e. use '/' for a directory separator, not '\'). To access files on another disks (i.e. floppy, CDROM and network disk), you need to use the supplied "mount" command e.g. mount a: /a mount d: /cdrom i.e. files on the floppy disk are accessed as being in directory /a and files on the CDROM are accessed as /cdrom (assuming your CDROM is drive d:) Yu may also use the new /cygpath notation by typing /cygpath/a for your local floppy. The notation //a/dir as a replacement for the DOS directory name a:\dir may not work in future releases of Cygwin. The following command creates a CD image in the current directory using a source directories on the CDROM drive, a sub-directory and the floppy drive: mkisofs -o hsfs.iso -J -R /cdrom/subdir dir1 /a If you use the options noted above, the hsfs.iso image is ISO-9660 compliant and includes both Rock Ridge (IEEE P1282) and Joliet (Microsoft proprietary) extensions. If your CD writer is on target 6, type cdrecord dev=6,0 -v speed=4 hsfs.iso to write the image at speed 4 in TAO mode, or cdrecord dev=6,0 -v speed=4 -dao hsfs.iso to write the image in DAO mode. If you don't like to create the image file 'hsfs.iso' you may use a PIPE to connect mkisofs's output to cdrecord's input by calling: mkisofs -J -R /cdrom/subdir dir1 /a | cdrecord dev=6,0 -v speed=4 - IMPORTANT NOTE: If you use PIPE's on Win32, you definitely need a POSIX compliant shell to start the programs. Native Win32 PIPE's are not POSIX compliant and will not work with POSIX compliant programs. /*--------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ If you don't know which target your CD-writer is, call cdrecord -scanbus This gives output similar to: Cdrecord-ProDVD sparc-sun-solaris2.4 release 1.8a39 Copyright (C) 1995-2000 Jörg Schilling Using libscg version 'schily-0.1' scsibus0: 0,0,0 0) 'Quantum ' 'XP34300 ' 'F76D' Disk 0,1,0 1) 'SEAGATE ' 'ST11200N ' '8334' Disk 0,2,0 2) * 0,3,0 3) 'TOSHIBA ' 'MK537FB/ ' '6258' Disk 0,4,0 4) 'WANGTEK ' '5150ES SCSI-36 ' 'ESB6' Removable Tape 0,5,0 5) 'EXABYTE ' 'EXB-8500-85QUE ' '0428' Removable Tape 0,6,0 6) 'TOSHIBA ' 'XM-3401TASUNSLCD' '3593' Removable CD-ROM 0,7,0 7) HOST ADAPTOR scsibus1: 1,0,0 100) 'IBM ' 'DCAS-34330 ' 'S65A' Disk 1,1,0 101) * 1,2,0 102) * 1,3,0 103) * 1,4,0 104) 'PLEXTOR ' 'CD-R PX-W8220T' '1.00' Removable CD-ROM 1,5,0 105) 'YAMAHA ' 'CRW4416S ' '1.0f' Removable CD-ROM 1,6,0 106) * 1,7,0 107) HOST ADAPTOR The numbers on the labels are SCSIbus# * 100 + target# You then call cdrecord dev=bus#,target#,0 If you e.g. like to talk to the Yamaha drive from the list above, you need to call: cdrecord dev=1,5,0 ...... /*--------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ NOTE If "cdrecord -scanbus" dumps core (dies from program fault), you have a broken ASPI driver on your PC. If you cannot see your drive(s), the following registry changes should make them visible: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Aspi32] "ErrorControl"=dword:00000001 "Start"=dword:00000001 "Type"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Aspi32\Parameters] "ExcludeMiniports"="" If you like to use the tools with SCSI or ATAPI, you need a working ASPI32 driver and dll on your system. If you don't have it already, look for 'aspi_me'. You need to set you clock back to a time before Jan 1st 1999 to be able to install it. Note that 'aspi_me' contains original Adaptec drivers and is banned from most ftp servers for this reason. You need a special ASPI driver version on NT-5.0 (Win2000) ************************************ Seems to be dead You may get one by downloading http://www.poikosoft.com/writer/download.html and unpacking the file mightywriter121.exe using unzip. after you renamed ntaspi32.dll to wnaspi32.dll, cdrecord should work. ************************************ Seems to be dead But here is a new source for ASPI drivers: http://www.fortunecity.com/skyscraper/solo/719/aspi_drivers.htm IMPORTANT In order to avoid damaging CD blanks because Win is trying to access the drive while cdrecord writes to it, you definitely should edit your registry and set the value of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom\Autorun to '0'. The Registry entry noted above is valid for WNT, I don't know if you need to do this for W95 or W98, nor do I know the correct Registry entry for these systems. /*--------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ For binary only users: Error messages and help output is directed to stderr. Win32 command interpreters don't know about stderr. I recommend to install bash.exe because it is a POSIX compliant shell and allow working PIPE's and it also gives you a command line history that may be edited using cursor commands. Otherwise you may want to install the Cygwin light version which only includes the user commands.
