For those who are interested:
I got a report that cdrecord indeed works fine on FreeBSD.
However you may need to fiddle a bit with linking /dev/scgx to /dev/rworm0.ctl
or similar in order to make it woring on your machine. I hope that
*BSD hackers will work on their system sources (mainly usability of the userland
SCSI interfaces) to make the installation more easier to do.
I forgot to change the file include/mconfig.h for OpenBSD.
If you have problems compiling cdrecord on OpenBSD, you need to edit this file
and add a definition for OpenBSD on line 709
A second hint for all *BSD systems. mkisofs-1.11 has been reported to dump
core. This is because it is a specialized version that is able to
read from a CD-R device un SunOS by using the /dev/scg generic SCSI interface.
The SCSI library need a special printf implementation that is currently
not able to print floating point numbers on *BSD systems because *BSD is the
only *NIX on the world that has no ecvt(),gcvt(),fcvt().
However the original mkisofs-1.11 will not compile either.
Use my hacked version with the included original Makfile or
remove the
LIBS = -lschily
CPPOPTS += -DUSE_SCG
line from the Makefile
and disable linking with all files from scsi.c ..... in the CFILES
setion.
Note: you definitely need mkisofs-1.11 if you like to create multi-session
disks.
BSDmake has a buggy implementation of the percent macro expansion it will
not work! use Gmake or better my smake from the makefiles distribution
on ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/makefiles
