I saw there is a very large thread on here about using friidump on windows, but almost nothing on the linux version from source. Its not hard to figure out, but there are some things which may throw a linux newbie off. I did my install with ubuntu, so you may have to change it up if you're using a different distro. Also, I'm using Gnome, so you may have some slightly different things to do if you're using KDE.
What you need to get:
friidump 0.3.0 source
(if anyone can post a link i'll give you like, 2 cookies)
Ok, the first thing you're going to want to do is extract the source archive to an easily accessible location. I used my desktop. If you're using gnome, just right click on the archive and choose 'extract here.'
Now, copy the patch file into that directory.
Next, open the terminal of your choice and type the following:
sudo -i
This will change you to root for as long as you have that terminal open. No it isn't secure - but this isn't a guide on how to do this securely. You wanna dump some games! Seriously though, this is bad practice, but it will make your life MUCH easier for this.
If you're not using a debian based distro, go to http://www.cmake.org and install cmake however you need to. You need it to compile. You will also need to make sure you have gcc and the latest kernel headers downloaded.
After you're done installing, go back to that root terminal session you started (if you ever left) and type
cd /home/username/Desktop/friidump
Where the path is the folder you extracted the files to on your desktop. Assuming you extracted as I described, it should be something like that.
Now, once you're in the directory its time to patch the files to bring the source up to 0.4.0. In the terminal type:
patch -p 0 < friidump_030to040_patch.txt
It will most likely prompt you for the locations of the files you're patching. The first two files are located in the /libfriidump directory, and the last is located in the /src directory. Once its done, you should be able to compile.
If for some reason you closed the root terminal window, open a new one and do the sudo -i thing again. I'm serious, it'll make your life easier.
Now, so long as you're still in the extracted folder, type the following commands:
mkdir BUILD
cd BUILD
cmake ..
make
make install
That should be everything. Now, you will need to either run the software as root, or follow the instructions in the readme file for other workarounds. I just run as root.
To run the app in the simplest possible way, type:
friidump -d /dev/cddrive -a
Change /dev/cddrive to match your dvd drive's name. If you're not sure of this, open /etc/fstab and find it - it'll be the one that's got iso9660 in its line. It'll most likely look like /dev/sda1 or something like that.
