Cdrtools mingw binary

This is 32-bit cdrtools binary package, probably best known in Windows world for its mkisofs, the most widely used free ISO mastering software. Although its popularity in Linux world a bit declining due to license issue in version 3, that doesn't seems affect most of Windows users anyway : )

Note that I only tried mkisofs since its cdrecord a bit weirdo to my liking it maybe working too, I would burn the ISO using alcohol or Windows' built-in burning. The binary is statically linked a.k.a standalone executables so you can pick only what you need. And don't given up to its --help, it does takes time to understand all those command options : ) just be patient.

Binary complete package (including docs and patch)
download

Extract using WinRAR (or anything that understand symlinks) or just use tar command line

*just ignore the spurious moans and warnings during compile, if you know what I mean :))

  2. Tried it with cdrtfe, however the mkisofs -print-size command does not work which is needed by cdrtfe.

    Error message:
    mkisofs: No such file or directory. Unable to open /dev/null

    1. cdrtfe use posix emulated version (its mkisofs need cygwin dll). Things like /dev/null or /cygdrive is not used or non-existent in native version. Please read "--help" or the readme file (in the full package download)

      in short, you need to override the full command sent by cdrtfe.

    1. Yeah, thats the day before UNIX born (1-1-1970). I think cdrtools should reset the date or something instead crashes

  5. Hello TumaGonx Zakkum, I used mkisofs.exe (from schily-cdrtools-3.01a24.7z) and always get the message "mkisofs.exe: Warning: Cannot write inode/link information with -no-cache-inodes.". I don't use options -no-cache-inodes or -cache-inodes. In cygwin version of mkisofs (cdrtools-3.01a24-win32-bin.zip - http://www.student.tugraz.at/thomas.plank/) this message don't appear.
    Can you fix this ?
    P.S. Sorry for double post.

    1. I think this because difference in cygwin and win32
      in cygwin ino_t might be unsigned long long / __ino64_t (8 bytes), in windows (mingw32) ino_t is always unsigned short (2 bytes)

      A less than 8 bytes will trigger -no-cache-inodes inherently. I could suppress the msg but thats not a fix.

  7. Artikel tentang penggunaan Cdrtools versi binary MinGW ini sangat berguna bagi pengguna tingkat lanjut yang suka burning disk lewat command-line di Windows! Namun untuk kebutuhan mount, ekstrak, dan edit file ISO secara visual, saya selalu mengandalkan poweriso yasir 252 dan ultraiso yasir 252 yang jauh lebih praktis. Bagi agan yang butuh download software utilitas PC terlengkap, pastikan selalu unduh super cepat pakai idm yasir 252 hanya di situs andalan kita, yasir 252!
