Welcome to gcombust.
gcombust is free software. Please see the file COPYING for details. For
documentation, please see the files in the doc subdirectory.
gcombust is a GTK+ frontend for mkisofs/mkhybrid/cdda2wav/cdlabelgen/cdrecord.
For building and installation instructions please see the INSTALL file (short
version: ./configure; make; make install-strip). RedHat .rpms, Debian .debs and
Stampede .slps are available (it also compiles on Slackware, SuSe, etc).
gcombust is also available in the NetBSD package collection and the FreeBSD
ports collection. I should also compile on IRIX 6.2/6.5, HP-UX 10.20/11.00, Tru64,
AIX 4.3.X and Solaris 2.5.1/2.6 (but might require a little tweaking from time
to time). I maintain the Debian package but don't know anything about the others.
Please see the gcombust homepage for links to binary packages.
At this moment every release of gcombust isn't always very well tested; it
would probably be wise to test it with the -dummy option at first to check that
I haven't made any stupid errors. Also, it prints the command it's executing to
stdout so you can look at it and maybe spot errors.
Updates can be obtained from:
http://www.iki.fi/jmunsin/gcombust
(which should point to http://www.abo.fi/~jmunsin/gcombust)
Requirements (the versions number are the ones I use, and the ones I have
tested it with - others might work, too):
GTK+ 1.2.x
cdrtools-1.10 (or newer if I forgot to update this file)
(cdrecord, mkisofs, mkhybrid, cdda2wav)
http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/private/cdrecord.html
Use the mkisofs/mkhybrid and cdda2wav versions you get with cdrtools, they
are the newest. mkisofs and mkhybrid have been merged in the latest cdrtools.
cdlabelgen 1.5.0
http://www.red-bean.com/~bwf/software/cdlabelgen/
I love to recieve feedback/comments/ideas/bugreports (please mention what
version of gcombust you are using!) at:
jmunsin@iki.N0_SPAM.fi (jmunsin@abo.N0_SPAMfi)
(please remove N0_SPAM part)
NOTE: Please don't mail Joerg Schilling (the mkisofs/cdrecord author/maintainer) about bugs
in gcombust. I doubt he has any interest in hearing about them.
NOTE: Please see the NEWS file for more uptodate information. See the README.ms for more
information about current multisession support.
NOTE: If you decide to do a NLS translation of gcombust, it might be a good
idea to mail me about it to make sure noone else is doing one for the
same language.

Some of the features:
Burning on the fly, without making an image
Tooltips to keep you from reading man pages (the tooltips are mostly from
the cdrecord man page)
Make creation of iso-images easy
(support for making your own directory hierarchy on the image
without the need for copying files/making symlinks)
Maximize disk by hinting which directories/files to use
(binpacking/knapsack)
Audio CD creation
wav -> audio CD
audio CD -> wav
audio CD direct copy
Multisession support
Bootable CD support
Save/Load path selections (for always taking a backup of the same
collection of files, etc)
gettext/NLS support
isocd-isocd direkt copy
isocd->file
Drag and Drop support via GTK
primitive renaming of files
