I didn't try to compile mkisofs with cygwin, but it seems to me the
troubles are related with garbage filling on file seeks. Would you like to
try the same binaries on NT?

Sergey,
Actually, I played around with it some more and found in the main
mkisofs program, the output file is opened with mode "w". If you change
this to "wb", mkisofs works fine, even with RR extensions, on Win95.

Joe,
I have done this successfully by first making a ISO9660 image using
mkisofs on the UNIX system (in my case Solaris and SunOS) first, then
copying the image to the PC and burning the CD there. Here are some
helpful links to check out:
* Linux CD-Writing < http://www.shop.de/~winni/linux/CD-Writing/ >
discusses the use of mkisofs.
* Golden Hawk Technology < http://www.goldenhawk.com/ > has some free
software which will burn a CD using an image, if your software
won't do it.
* mkisofs source can be found in any of the Linux archives one
place would be
< ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/packages/mkisofs/mkisofs-1.11.tar.gz >
I have successfully compiled mkisofs under cygwin32-b18 (on Win95) by
defining NON_UNIXFS, but it won't make a good image. isovfy and
isoinfo work under cygwin32 though. I didn't put much effort into
finding the problem. Has anyone else had any luck?
Hope this helps.
Bill

This is not really a cygwin question, so I must apologize in advance.
I have a Unix file system which I'm trying to render onto a CD.
The CD burner only runs off a Windows system (or potentially, NT).
The Question is how to preserve the many softlinks in the file system
so they appear properly on the CD.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Joe
