Comment 1 Mamoru TASAKA 2007-06-04 04:31:27 UTC

Well, it seems that at least some code modification
releated to check_binaries() in src/init.c is required.

Especially in src/init.c and src/io.c, xcdroast tries
to check the existence of the binaries in what was in
cdrecord by calling the binary with -version for example,
and xcdroast expects that the output message (i.e.
cdrecord -version, now wodim -version) follows the format what
cdrecord returned.

you can get xcdroast working in fedora 7 by installing cdrecord from an older fc
release.  here's what I did:

$ sudo mv /usr/bin/cdrecord /usr/bin/cdrecord.f7
$ sudo mv /usr/bin/dvdrecord /usr/bin/dvdrecord.f7
$ sudo mv /usr/bin/devdump /usr/bin/devdump.f7
$ sudo rpm -ivh --force cdrecord-2.01.01.0.a03-3.i386.rpm

after that, you'll want to patch xcdroast in the gnome toolbar to start xcdroast
with the -n option, since mkisofs has a conflict as well.

after _that_ launching xcdroast from the applications seems to work.

Of course it may work, however this must not be our solution..
