Introduction to libcddb

The libcddb is a library that implements the different protocols (CDDBP, HTTP, SMTP) to access data on a CDDB server.

[Note]

This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS 13.0 platform.

Package Information

libcddb Dependencies

Optional

libcdio-2.1.0 (for cddb_query to read CD)

[Note]

Note

An Internet connection is needed for some tests of this package. The system certificate store may need to be set up with make-ca-1.16.1 before testing this package.

Installation of libcddb

By default this package accesses freedb.org, which is already closed. Modify the default to use gnudb.gnudb.org instead, and fix two stale test data files: 

sed -e '/DEFAULT_SERVER/s/freedb.org/gnudb.gnudb.org/' \
    -e '/DEFAULT_PORT/s/888/&0/'                       \
    -i include/cddb/cddb_ni.h                          &&
sed '/^Genre:/s/Trip-Hop/Electronic/' -i tests/testdata/920ef00b.txt &&
sed '/DISCID/i# Revision: 42'         -i tests/testcache/misc/12340000

Fix a problem building with gcc-14 and later: 

sed -i 's/size_t l;/socklen_t l;/' lib/cddb_net.c

Install libcddb by running the following commands: 

./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-static &&
make

To test the results, issue: make check -k. The test suite needs an Internet connection. The test named “Check non-existing disc server read” fails because the test incorrectly assumes no discs have the ID 0x11111111. Another test fails due to the attempt to use the closed freedb2.org server.

Now, as the root user: 

make install
