You can browse the Source tree online if you like. For older versions of Gnome Toaster see the Gnome Toaster archive directory.
You can get a copy of the current CVS repository by entering:
export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.gtoaster.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/gtoaster
cvs login (anonymous password is blank, null, nothing, enter, return...)
cvs co gtoaster
cvs logout
this will create a directory "gtoaster" containing the current cvs contents.
If you have a Debian System,you can try out the gnometoaster debian package by Wichert Akkerman.Itīs available from any Debian mirror,e.g. http://www.debian.org/Packages/unstable/otherosfs/gtoaster.html.
Please notice that the Debian package will probably be based on an older version of the sourcecode most of the time. So if you want to get the cutting edge of Gnometoaster development, make sure you use the Source distrib.
(You can find rpms of older versions in the Gnome Toaster archive directory. )

to build an rpm package for your system,all you need to do
is typing "rpm -ta gtoasterxxx.tgz" in the best case.
If this doesnīt work for you,change the .spec file until it
does and submit it to
A.Eckleder@bigfoot.com.
Also I would,on behalf of all the other RedHat,SuSE etc. users
out there,very much appreciate it if you would submit your
ready-made rpm binary package together with an exact description
of the Distribution youīre using (Name and Version number).
Those packages will then be put onto the Gnometoaster homepage
to make the world easier for those who arenīt capable of
compiling Gnometoaster for some reasons...
Since 2000-05-19, Will Andrew's FreeBSD port is part of the gnometoaster snapshot distribution files and the cvs tree. The original patch files of the FreeBSD Port of Gnometoaster can be found at http://people.FreeBSD.org/~will/gnometoaster.tar.gz . If you have FreeBSD-specific questions,either ask Will Andrews or even better the Gnometoaster mailing list. Thanks a lot, Will !!!

Do you need some Free Music ? Click the banner below to get to the largest collection of free mp3 music available on the internet. This is the new way of distributing music, come join the revolution and test your Gnometoaster today with great music of every genre you can imagine!
System requirements:
You'll actually need a version supporting your cd recorder ;-)
CDRW is also supported if present.
Cdrecord can be used to write in track at
once as well as in disc-at-once mode.
Gnometoaster is supporting cdrdao for transparent
disc-at-once support for drives where disc-at-once
support is not supported by cdrecord (some HP
CD Writers and others). cdrecord can't write in
raw mode while cdrdao supports drives working in
raw mode only. Quite a good combination
I think.
Make sure to check out this
list of supported drives for writing with cdrdao.
It won't work with Gtk 1.0 as this version does not have drag and drop support yet.
If you want to use mkhybrid,you'll have to
manually edit Gnometoaster's filesystem
creation call in the preferences setup as
the default is mkisofs from release 991021 on.
You'll need a program which can read audio data digitally from your cd drive and output it in cdda format to stdout.
Another good choice instead of cdda2wav might be cdparanoia, but Gnome Toaster is preconfigured for cdda2wav.
If you need a current version just follow the link, where cdrecord can be obtained.
This format is 44kHz, 16Bit, Stereo. Sox is preconfigured.
Mpg123 will read mp3 data from stdin and pipe it to stdout. It is defined as default for that purpose.
Mp3Info is no longer required to calculate
mp3 file tracksizes as Gnometoaster is now
providing this functionality natively.
However,
The program by Thorvald Natvig from
ftp://bimbo.hive.no/pub/mp3info
can be used to append ID3 to mp3 files and it will
probably be used by Gnometoaster to do
exactly that in the near future.
Naming mp3 files isn't a critical feature and
the lack of mp3info will only affect you
if you're using Gnometoaster to encode
mp3 files!
You can use something else if you want to.
Please note that there are quite a few
programs called mp3info out there.
One of them is part of a package called mp3tools
and is not the one supported by gnometoaster by default.
Also,there's a program by Cedric Tefft
called mp3info which does look similar but
still isn't quite the same.
Unless you want to experiment I suggest to
either get mp3info from the link mentioned above
or simply rely on what the maintainer of
the distrib package you're using has set as
a dependency.
GnomeToaster needs ogg123 to decode ogg-vorbis
files. You can get all that is ogg-vorbis related from
http://www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/index.html
except for some small utility that is needed by GnomeToaster to calculate
ogg-vorbis playing time. It can be obtained from
http://gnometoaster.rulez.org/archive/oggtst.tgz,
a Mandrake 8.0 RPM binary package is available from
http://gnometoaster.rulez.org/archive/oggtst-1.0beta1-1mdk.i686.rpm
.
Well, if you don't want to configure Gnometoaster,
you'll be best off using gogo, cause that's the default.
gogo is the assembler version of the LAME encoder,
which makes it the fastest mp3 encoder out there
available for free.
The vast majority of the standard kernels coming
with Linux distributions of any flavour today contain all you need to do cd
recording. Essentially, SCSI generic support must be available and, in case
of an IDE cd writer, the idescsi SCSI over IDE kernel driver will be
required. In case your standard kernel doesn't support the required
functionality or you need some other weird kernel feature you may have to compile your own kernel
in which case you should make sure to select the drivers mentioned above
when configuring your kernel.
I strongly suggest to do a test burn using the dummy option
before you start writing real data.
As Gnometoaster is work in progress,I can't
guarantee it will function properly on all systems.
If you find something within Gnome Toaster that doesn't work
as expected, please file a bug report.
All hints on bugs and other suggestions concerning the program
will be logged to the TODO list of Gnome Toaster as a first
step, so that hopefully someone,
someday, will have the time to fix it.
Generally, submitting a ready-made bugfix increases
the chance for the problem to be fixed soon.
Please do not send coredumps to my email adress until
explicitly requested.
Generally, when reporting a bug, you should describe what is
going on as detailed as possible.
Run gtoaster from the GNU debugger (type gdb
gtoaster[enter] run[enter] and bt[enter] once it has crashed) and
send me the output.
Sometimes, running a "strace gtoaster" can also reveal important
informations.
