Convert UIF to ISO
The fastest way to convert an UIF image to ISO image is UIF2ISO. It is a speedy command line tool, that will save you the hassle of installing wine and MagicISO.
This is how I downloaded and installed UIF2ISO, written by Luigi Auriemma.
1. We first need to install zlib and OpenSSL with apt-get.
sudo apt-get install zlib1g zlib1g-dev libssl-dev build-essential2. Now we can download UIF2ISO with wget from a terminal, or from the author’s site here.
wget http://aluigi.altervista.org/mytoolz/uif2iso.zip3. Once you have the file downloaded, unzip it and cd into the directory.
unzip uif2iso.zip
cd src4. Finally compile the source, and create the executable.
make
sudo make install5. Now you can convert the .uif file to an .iso with the following command:
uif2iso example.uif output.isoMounting an ISO
You don't necessarily need to burn a cd in order to access the files within the ISO. You can mount it with some simple commands.
Here is how to mount the ISO from command line.
sudo modprobe loop
sudo mkdir ISO_directory
sudo mount /media/file.iso /media/ISOPoint/ -t iso9660 -o loop

Many thanks, your utility has done the job.

Apparently the source code is located inside a folder titled "src". So your step that says:
"unzip uif2iso.zip
cd uif2iso"
...should read:
"unzip uif2iso.zip
cd src"
Other than that, all was well. Thanks!
Thank you Cassidy, for the correction.
Thanks for the help bro, worked like a charm.
I'm not going to nitpick your steps, as you provided the pertinent info.
I’m glad I could help, and thank you Doug, for your comment.
I have developed a thick skin, working as a help desk technician over the years. So please hit me with your feedback, as it will help the next person who reads this article.
This is the best way to convert uif to iso on my Ubuntu Linux!! Thank you!
Thanks a lot for this perfect utility.
I didn't see any type of license file included. You may want to apply a suitable license so that it can find its way into various distributions, and ultimately into other file system tools.
Much appreciated.
After some digging, the license is inside the source file(src/uif2iso.c).

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

ok, I think I needed for Ubuntu we need to use:
build-essential without the “s”
Thanks,
Patricio
Wes, Conversion works great! For mounting I didn’t test gmountiso
but this works too:
sudo modprobe loop
sudo mkdir ISOPoint
sudo mount /media/file.iso /media/ISOPoint/ -t iso9660 -o loop
Patricio
There was a typo(build-essential) should not have an “s”.
Thanks Patricio for pointing out the typo, and providing a pure command line procedure, for mounting ISOs.
Thanks! your utility has done the job.
:-)
Thanks mate. This rocks! :)
Many thanx ;D works perfectly fine for me
Thank you very much for this. You deserve a medal.
Thanks a lot, worked like it should on DreamLinux
sudo apt-get install gmountiso does not work, it cant find a package by that name.
nvm, mounted using the other method.
Thanks for the program worked great on Kubuntu. As an aside you don't have to download the gmountiso program. iso files can be mounted already with the command:
mount -o loop example.iso /media/temp
HI ,thanks for the nice tool....
it works like a charm...
Very helpful tutorial, you saved me a lot of time struggling with Wine and Magiciso. Thank you.
thank you, thank you, thank you!
Brilliant. Took about two minutes to do. Thank you so much!
