Compiling and installing Kiso

hi,
its a bit of a bugger, but got it going...
apt-get install iso9660 iso9660-dev
sudo kedit /usr/include/cdio/iso9660.h
goto line 482 (ctrl-g)
change 'int iso9660_name_translate_ext(const char *old, char *new, ['
to
int iso9660_name_translate_ext(const char *old, char *newer,
(new is a reserved word in c++)
and then the usual
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
sudo checkinstall
(or sudo make install)

hope that helps, looks like a handy app
if it doesn't work still i'll stick a deb up somewhere.

If you can make a .deb, then please do. This was going to be my first go at making a deb and I was going to send it to the Debian folks. Then of course I ran into the problems I didn't understand. I'll try your fix first, but if you do make a .deb notify the guy at the kiso.sf.net site and he can post it there.

I use WinISO to edit ISO files on Winders.

Thanks for the info.

its up at www.podulator.com/debs
it might still complain if you don't have iso9660 installed, though.
cheers

Thanks for the deb file, but would it be possible to get a new version of the program in deb format?

get libcdio installed first, then new kiso.
(from same place www.podulator.com/debs/kiso)
cheers

Thank you very much for the new debs

Greating,

I have tried to install Kiso, from the *.deb files found on www.podulator.com/debs. I installed the libcdio3 using synaptic and then try to do the same with Kiso, didn t work, then i used dpkg -i *.deb, which it worked, but if i run kiso the application wont start.

Any suggestion Question Idea
Thanks

hi, start it from a console and post the error message.
Its probably just a missing library.
cheers

This is what i get.

gbrlx358:/home/geracif/Downloads# dpkg -i kiso_0.8.2-1_i386.deb
dpkg: status database area is locked by another process

hi, i didn't mean the dpkg -i command, i meant the kiso command, sorry.
Thats a weird message anyway, are you half way thru an apt-get update or something?
cheers

Thank you pod for posting such a concise and useful reply and especially for making the .deb file of Kiso. I use it all the time now!

Thanks for your tips guys. I realise this post has been inactive for a while but as it's exactly my problem, so I thought I'd wake it up again!

I had to install an older .deb from here, as no newer .deb seems available. I am running Mepis 3.4.3 with many updates (etch) but I cannot load Kiso either! I get this error:

kiso: error while loading shared libraries: libiso9660.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Made me wonder about your kate - edit above and whether there is a conflict with reserved words? A new .deb would be fantastic, but I'd prefer to know what's wrong, then I can fix such things in future. I get an accepted ./configure with the new tar.gz but I get too many make errors to list. I'm stuck!

I know how to mount an .iso manually;

You can use chmod a+rwx myimage.iso to make the image writable.

You can mount the image with mkdir /mnt/mycd, and add this line in fstab: /home/sam/myimage.iso /mnt/myimage iso9660 rw,user,noauto 0 0
Save fstab, mount -o loop /mnt/myimage. Then the file system will be viewable as files and directories in the directory /mnt/myimage. You can edit the image as you wish, and the new file will be /home/sam/myimage.iso

hi smudge,
its because kde 3.5 is built against a different version of gcc.
there's a new version in the same folder (0.8.3) using gcc version 4, try that.

Hi everybody!
I have debian 2.6 kernel..
I installed all packages,that kiso need,but when i try to install it,i get this error message:
