CDRTOOLS compiles without changes on any SCO OpenServer 5.0.4 or later installation having the SCO DevSys or GCC-2.95 and smake-1.2a04 or later installed. You can get pre-packaged, custom installable binaries from: http://www.sco.com/skunkware/cdrtools Some general notes on CDRTOOLS are available from: http://www.sco.com/skunkware/cdrtools/SCO-NOTES.html Limitations for CDRTOOLS-1.8 on SCO OpenServer 5: 1) SCO OpenServer 5.0.0 and 5.0.2 are unsupported! 2) There is only support for SCSI devices 3) There no support for AHA 154X scsi controllers =================================================================== NOTE: cdrecord now supports the -scanbus option. Therefore the old addressing methods are NO LONGER AVAILABLE !!! =================================================================== As there is no real generic SCSI driver, cdrecord uses the pass through ioctl of the cdrom target driver (Srom). The correct dev= syntax on SCO Openserver 5 is: dev=scsibus,target,lun (and scsibus is scsibus now!!!) A sample output from cdrecord -scanbus looks like: #cdrecord -scanbus Cdrecord 1.8 (i686-pc-sco3.2v5.0.5) Copyright (C) 1995-2000 Jörg Schilling Using libscg version 'schily-0.1' scsibus0: 0,0,0 0) 'SEAGATE ' 'ST34573LC ' '5960' Disk 0,1,0 1) 'SEAGATE ' 'ST34573LC ' '5960' Disk 0,2,0 2) 'SEAGATE ' 'ST34573LC ' '5960' Disk 0,3,0 3) * 0,4,0 4) * 0,5,0 5) 'PIONEER ' 'CD-ROM DR-U06S ' '1.05' Removable CD-ROM 0,6,0 6) 'TEAC ' 'CD-R56S ' '1.0E' Removable CD-ROM 0,7,0 7) * The first column showing the triple x,y,z tells you the address to use.

PLEASE ADJUST YOUR /etc/default/cdrecord FILES! =================================================================== Running cdrecord with the old address method will result in an error! #cdrecord dev=/dev/rcd1:6,0 -inq Cdrecord 1.8 (i386-pc-sco3.2v5.0.5) Copyright (C) 1995-2000 Jörg Schilling scsidev: '/dev/rcd1:6,0' devname: '/dev/rcd1' scsibus: 0 target: 6 lun: 0 cdrecord: Invalid argument. Open by 'devname' no longer supported on this OS. Cannot open SCSI driver. cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE MEDIA IN YOUR CD-ROM DEVICES, SO THAT CDRECORD CAN OPEN THE DEVICE FOR PASS-THROUGH ACCESS! To compile cdrtools, you need 'smake' version 1.2a04 or later from: ftp://ftp.sco.com/skunkware/osr5/vols Please make sure you use smake-1.2a04 or later, cause smake-1.2 versions before a04 will coredump on the compilation of cdrtools on OpenServer.
