Thanks for reporting them.
I can test on Linux, FreeBSD and OpenSolaris 134. All on amd64 with gcc
as compiler.

I assume "HAVA" is a typo.
At least i see on my Linux system only "HAVE_STDINT_H".
So i will use the latter form.

There is only one occurence. Maybe i should use a less fancy way
of waiting.
Probably usleep(3) is the better choice. There are already lots of them
in the code and you do not report problems with them.


> 3. The functions 'setenv' and 'unsetenv' are not available on Solaris 9

I wonder why my friend Vreixo used them in libisofs.
The function in libisofs/util.c looks somewhat like a workaround
for a missing system function.

It would make my friends from FSF happy if i used gnulib. But i am reluctant
to introduce such a dependency into the libburnia project. The fewer libs,
the fewer problems. :))


I'll try to address all three stumblestones, upload a new 1.0.1 development
snapshot tarball, and give you a note.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I understand you can make xorriso-1.0.0 compile.
Does it operate your optical drives properly ?
It should suffice to let it list the available drives:

  xorriso -devices

To be run as superuser or by help of pfexec (if available on Solaris 9).
The result on my OpenSolaris looks like this

  Beginning to scan for devices ...
  Full drive scan done
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  0  -dev '/dev/rdsk/c2t2d0s2' r----- :  'TSSTcorp' 'CDDVDW SH-S223B' 
  1  -dev '/dev/rdsk/c3t0d0s2' r----- :  'TSSTcorp' 'DVD-ROM SH-D162C' 
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

If a drive is not listed then one would have to assume problems.
In that case i could need extra verbous output:

  xorriso -scsi_log on -report_about DEBUG -devices >/tmp/xorriso_log 2>&1  

and, if possible, the output of

  cdrecord -scanbus


Have a nice day :)
