Re: Convert dmg to iso?

according to the features page, acetoneiso should be able to do it. It is in the AUR.

Dmg2iso is only for mac os x?

I don't wanna install kde to a simple task like this.

A DMG is nothing more than an image of an Apple HFS file system, you should be able to mount it with something like:

mount -t hfs -o loop image.dmg /macdisk

Then, I think, you could make an ISO out of that with dd:

dd if=/macdisk of=image.iso

Not 100% sure the ISO creation would work though.

[root@Magda roberth]# mount -t hfs -o loop APPLE.MAC.OSX.LEOPARD.V10.5.ISO-OSX/osx-leopard105.dmg macdisk
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
       missing codepage or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

What am I doing wrong?

Re: Convert dmg to iso?

There are some dmg-images (e.g. xcode if you want to build a cross-compiler) which contain a partition map and multiple partition. It's pretty weird.
You can't mount them directly (at least I haven't had success), but you can extract their content with hfsexplorer (It's a java app), works well.

Use "file osx-leopard105.dmg" to make sure it is a true DMG file. It should say something like "Macintosh HFS data"

Re: Convert dmg to iso?

As stated earlier you can use AcetoneISO2 (which I maintain in AUR) but my guess it that your looking for a CLI solution..

AcetoneISO depends a lot on poweriso for conversion.  I did a quick check in the source code to see what methods it
uses to handle dmg..  It uses PowerISO 1.2 to extract it.  You can probably use poweriso to extract it then make an ISO using other methods. Then again PowerISO might convert from dmg to iso directly..

PowerISO 1.1 is found in the community repo but you may need to install version 1.2 (I think dmg support is in the latest version only).

Good Luck
