[1] Origin

ftp://ftp.x.org:/contrib/applications/xmcd/xmcd-2.2.tar.gz

Patches were created:

xmcd-2.2-Imakefile.patch
xmcd-2.2-ppc.patch
xmcd-2.2-mklinux.patch
xmcd-2.2-mklinux-new.patch
essentially to switch off unsupported features to avoid ioctl errors as much as possible.

[2] How to Build Xmcd from SRC

The Xmcd RPM building procedure is described in its spec file:
xmcd-2.2.spec


You can rebuild the RPM using its corresponding SRPM as:

# rpm --rebuild <somewhere>/xmcd-2.2-1B.src.rpm

[3] How to Install Xmcd

Before installing xmcd, update your Mklinux to DR2.1update4 or higher: the package requires the full shared library support coming with DR2.1update4 including shared X11 libraries.

Onece the update is completed, the rest is easy:

# rpm -i <somewhere>/xmcd-2.2-1A.ppc.rpm
If you have wip980113 or later installed, you may want to install 1B instead of 1A:
# rpm -i <somewhere>/xmcd-2.2-1B.ppc.rpm

You may want to reconfigure Xmcd by

# /etc/X11/xmcd/config/config.sh
.... Answer questions .....
in order to use some remote CD data base. Once you issue this command, you will be prompted to specify your CD player type. You must choose "36. other (non-SCSI)", even if you think your CD player is SCSI and select "1. SunOS/Solaris/Linux/QNX ioctl method" as a Device Interface Method (the other options simply did not work for me).
