bchunk v1.2.2 - BinChunker for Unix (original) (raw)

binchunker converts a CD image in a ".bin / .cue" format (sometimes ".raw / .cue") to a set of .iso and .cdr tracks. The bin/cue format is used by some popular non-Unix cd-writing software, but is not supported on most other CD burning programs. A lot of CD/VCD images distributed on the Internet are in BIN/CUE format, I've been told.

This is a Unix/C rewrite of the fine BinChunker software. Thanks go to Bob Marietta marietrg@slu.edu, the author of BinChunker, for the extensive help, documentation and letting me look at his Pascal/Delphi source code!/marietrg@slu.edu

The .iso track contains an ISO file system, which can be mounted through a loop device on Linux systems, or written on a CD-R using cdrecord. The .cdr tracks are in the native CD audio format. They can be either written on a CD-R using cdrecord -audio, or converted to WAV (or any other sound format for that matter) using sox. bchunk 1.1.0 (and later versions) can also output audio tracks in WAV format.

bchunk compiles and runs on any host with an ANSI C compiler, and somewhat POSIX.1 compliant environment. It has been tested on the following platforms:

Linux 2.0, i686, glibc 2.0.7, gcc 2.7.2.3 (RedHat 5.1)
Linux 2.2, i686, glibc 2.1.1, egcs 1.1.2 (RedHat 6.0)
Linux 2.4, i686, glibc 2.2, gcc 2.96 (RedHat 7.0)
Linux 2.6, i686, glibc 2.3, gcc 3.2.2 (RedHat 9.0)
Linux 2.6, i686, glibc 2.3.5, gcc 4.0.2 (Debian sarge, etch)
Solaris 2.5.1, SPARC, gcc 2.7.2
Solaris 2.6, SPARC, gcc 2.8.1
Digital Unix 4.0c, Alpha, DEC C V5.2-033
SGI IRIX 6.5.7m, MIPS R4600 IP22, gcc 2.95.2
Mac OS X 10.1.4, gcc 2.95.2
Mac OS X 10.11.6, llvm 8.0.0 (clang-800.0.42.1)

OpenBSD, FreeBSD and NetBSD all have a port of bchunk available in their respective archives for a very good set of hardware platforms.

Debian GNU/Linux users can install bchunk using 'apt-get install bchunk', as bchunk is maintained as aDebian package.

Download the (GPL'ed) source code below, read the README file, compile, and serve cold with a meal. Satisfaction not guaranteed. If it breaks, you get to keep both pieces.
