=======================================================

1. Required tools and libraries
===============================

1.1 C compiler, make and other build tools
------------------------------------------

dvdisaster requires the usual GNU development tools for compiling 
C programs. You must have gcc, GNU make, the bash shell and the
GNU fileutils and textutils packages installed. Other versions
of these tools will not work and patches for them will not be accepted.

FreeBSD, Linux and NetBSD typically come with suitable packages on 
their installation media. Sometimes these packages are not installed
completely by default; you may need to install their development versions
also. The additional packages are usually suffixed with "-devel" or "-dev".

1.2 Gtk+ and localization support
---------------------------------

Depending on your operating system you will also need:

- The gettext library			http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/
- The iconv library (only for Windows)	http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/
- The pkgconfig tool			http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/releases
- The GTK+ library version 2.2 or better,    http://www.gtk.org
  including all auxiliary libraries.

Again, the freeware Unices should have suitable packages on their distribution media.


2. Operating system specific issues
===================================

2.1 Windows
-----------

2.1.1 Getting the GNU environment for Windows

For Windows the GNU tools are available in the MingW framework: 
See http://www.mingw.org.
Building under Cygwin is not supported.

The Gtk+ project offers pre-compiled Windows versions of their libraries;
see http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/downloads.html for details.
You'll need both the normal and "-devel" versions of the libraries. 


2.2 Mac OS X / Darwin
---------------------

dvdisaster was ported by Julian Einwag to Darwin, 
the Unix foundation of Mac OS X. 

Currently dvdisaster needs to be built and run as an X11 application under Mac OS X;
see http://developer.apple.com/opensource/tools/runningX11.html for more information.

An Aqua compatible version of the Gtk+ library is under development, but not
yet stable. As soon as this changes, dvdisaster will be able to run under
Mac OS X without using X11.


2.3 FreeBSD
-----------

2.3.1 Loading the atapicam kernel module by hand (tested on FreeBSD 7.1)

FreeBSD does not pre-install an uniform CD-ROM driver for SCSI and ATAPI drives 
(as is the case in Linux and Windows). Therefore dvdisaster can not
use any ATAPI drives in an out-of-the-box FreeBSD installation. 

To manually load the required kernel module, do:

root@freebsd# kldload atapicam

Use the follwing command to see if any CD/DVD/BD drives became
available:

root@freebsd# camcontrol devlist
<NAME OF YOUR DRIVE>                at scbus1 target 0 lun 0 (pass0,cd0)


2.3.2 (Optionally) loading the atapicam kernel module permanently

If the above step works you can load the kernel module at boot 
time by adding the line

atapicam_load="YES"

at the end of /boot/loader.conf.local



2.3.3 (Optionally) recompiling the kernel

If the atapicam kernel module is not available (check the contents
of /boot/kernel) you will need to recompile the kernel with the following 
additional device line in the kernel configuration:

device atapicam

The devices ata, scbus, cd, and pass are also required, 
but are included by default in FreeBSD 6.0 and later.


3. Compiling the source code
============================

It is recommended to compile the source code as a normal
user, not root. In the following instructions, user@host>
denotes the shell prompt.

3.1 Unpacking the source code archive
-------------------------------------

Please change into a directory which is writeable
for you and unpack the source code archive:

user@host> cd /var/tmp
user@host> tar xjf dvdisaster-0.79.3.tar.bz2

Then change into the newly created directory:

user@host> cd /var/tmp/dvdisaster-0.79.3

3.2. Configuring the package
----------------------------

Please note that the dvdisaster configure script is not 
generated by GNU autoconf, but should behave in a similar way.

Call the configuration script in the usual way:

user@host> ./configure

The script will possibly print some errors about missing libraries.
Type "configure --help" to learn about pointing configure 
to the correct path of already installed libraries.

The "--help" option will also give information about some
options which are useful if you plan to install the package
to a certain location.

Please note that the ==buildroot=DIR option is mainly useful for
package maintainers, but will mess up things when trying a direct
install via "make install".


3.3 Compiling the package
-------------------------

When the configuration script finishes without error messages,
compile the source code into the executable program:

user@host> gmake

On some systems, GNU make must be invoked as "make".

Invoke the program for a quick test:

user@linux> ./dvdisaster
user@windows>./dvdisaster-win

After a short moment the main window should open an the program
is ready for use. Working with the program from the current 
directory (e.g. without installation) is okay.

On windows two program version are provided as it is not possible
to have the same binary operate in command line and window mode
there. dvdisaster.exe is the command line version, while
dvdisaster-win.exe provides the graphical user interface.


4. Installation
===============

4.1 Installation of the program
===============================

To install the program and documentation permanently
on your system, become root and do:

root@host# gmake install

Before doing the install, please review the output of the "configure" script
or type "gmake show" to learn about the target directories of the installation.
Enter "bash configure --help" to get information on changing the installation
paths.

4.2. Removing an installation
=============================

During the installation process a shell script is created
which can be used to remove dvdisaster from your system:

root@host# dvdisaster-uninstall.sh

In order to remove the source code distribution,
please remove the directory you have created as described
in section 3.1:

user@host> cd /var/tmp
user@host> rm -rf dvdisaster-0.79.3


5. Program documentation
========================

The online documentation is located in the
sub directory documentation/en. 
You can also press the respective toolbar button 
in dvdisaster to view the online docs.


Enjoy using dvdisaster!
