News

May 5, 1998: xmcd-2.2-1a: rebuilt with pre-DR3.
Jan 22, 1998: xmcd-2.2-1B: the latest version with wip980113 which now alows volume control. I changed the spec file to use a new mklinux-patch which differs from the previous one with volume control disabled to avoid annoying error messages.
Dec 6, 1997: xmcd-2.2-1A: the latest version with mklinux patch.

Origin

The original source file was obtained from:

ftp://ftp.x.org:/contrib/applications/xmcd/

Unofficial 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.

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-2.2-1a.src.rpm

How to Install Xmcd

# rpm -ivh <somewhere>/xmcd-2.2-1a.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).
