cdemu for linux

[rdoggsv]

ok so i have a bin and cue files of a cd i have on my hard drive, normally on windows i will use daemon tools to mount it and then whatch the files in it , but in linux i have found a program called cdemu http://cdemu.sourceforge.net , ok now i have the tar file and i alread extracted it then here are the instructions on install it

 

Install

 

The install is quite simple:

 

   1. extract the archive:

      $ tar -jxvf cdemu-<VER>.tar.bz2

   2. you need the source of your current running kernel.

      /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build/include needs to point at it.

   3. build the module:

      $ make

   4. install the module and user space utilities:

      $ sudo make install

   5. now simply load the kernel module:

      $ sudo modprobe cdemu

      (no message should be displayed after running modprobe)

   6. to load a bin/cue image:

      $ cdemu 0 image.cue

      $ mount /dev/cdemu/0 /mnt/cdrom

      (some things may be different on your system, YMMV)

   7. for more information, please review the help output:

      $ cdemu -h

 

i did the step one (that was easy) , then i dont know what else to do cause i tells me that i need the source fo my current kernel i have no idea how to get that done

 

so i skip to step 3 and typed make and this is what i got

[rdoggsv@bulletproof cdemu-0.7]$ make

make: *** No rule to make target `cdemu.ko', needed by `modules'.  Stop.

 

can someone point me in the right direction to get this software installed it will be really apreciated as usual

 

Added:

Btw im running mandrake 10.1 powerpack

First: if it's just a movie, mplayer plays bin files without problems (open a console, cd to bin file and type: mplayer <name of>.bin. No need to use cdemu.

 

Source: Open a console, log in as root and type: uprmi kernel-source

 

Error: probably related to kernel source.

 

Good luck.

ok i went to the urpmi and installed urpmi kernel-source

now looks like i got something else

i dont know why i never get to compile a software :(

 

ok so i noticed that by default urpmi installed a kernet 2.4.xxxx so i went and uninstalled it and with the same urpmi installed the kernel linux-2.6.8.1-24mdk , and now i have this

 

[rdoggsv@bulletproof cdemu-0.7]$ make

make -C /usr/src/linux SUBDIRS=/home/rdoggsv/Documents/installers/cdemu-0.7 modu

sh create_cdemu_devs.sh

if no error did show up device files created ;-)

 

[root@bulletproof cdemu-0.7]# modprobe cdemu

FATAL: Error inserting cdemu (/lib/modules/2.6.8.1-12mdk/misc/cdemu.ko): Invalid module format

 

so finally i decided that i will burn the 2 bins that i have to a cd and whatch them :D because i dont think i will be able to install cd emu :D

 

btw they are not a movie are other files
