The dvd+rw-tools package contains several utilities to master the DVD media, both +RW/+R and -R[W]. The principle tool is growisofs which provides a way to both lay down and grow an ISO9660 file system on (as well as to burn an arbitrary pre-mastered image to) all supported DVD media. This is useful for creating a new DVD or adding to an existing image on a partially burned DVD.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.7 platform.

Though not required during the build, you must have installed a package which provides the xorrisofs command, such as libisoburn-1.3.8, or the growisofs command will not function properly, rendering the entire package useless.
User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/dvd+rw-tools
Install dvd+rw-tools by running the following commands:
sed -i '/stdlib/a #include <limits.h>' transport.hxx && sed -i 's#mkisofs"#xorrisofs"#' growisofs.c && sed -i 's#mkisofs#xorrisofs#;s#MKISOFS#XORRISOFS#' growisofs.1 && make all rpl8 btcflash
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
make prefix=/usr install &&
install -v -m644 -D index.html \
/usr/share/doc/dvd+rw-tools-7.1/index.html
sed -i '/stdlib/a #include
<limits.h>' ...: This sed includes
limits.h, one of the kernel headers.
This is needed due to a change in the 2.6.23 kernel headers.
sed -i 's#mkisofs"#xorrisofs"#' growisofs.c: This sed changes the code to use xorrisofs from xorriso. The default was for it to use mkisofs from Cdrtools.
sed -i 's#mkisofs#xorrisofs#;s#MKISOFS#XORRISOFS#' growisofs.1: This sed fixes the man page to account for the above change.
make all rpl8 btcflash: This command uses additional targets so that all the utilities are built.
