I've been using wipe since release 0.56 on my Linux box. Since I've been working on BSD a lot lately, I am asking you: was wipe-1.2.x tested on any other platform other than GNU/Linux? Maybe I should try compile and debug but you know, sometimes you feel better trying to avoid headaches in advance. Thanks. 8)

unfortunely, i only have one box (not counting my brother's se/30), an old first generation pmac; it only runs mklinux and mac os, so i don't have any means to test it on BSD (cept maybe for those compaq test drive boxes...hmm...).
i just uploaded 1.2.2 and it successfully wipes partitions on my mklinux box. unless my disklabel code or includes are screwed up, it should work fine on BSD boxes.

I tried to build it on FreeBSD 4.1; configure seemed to run OK, but this is what I get when I try to make-

someone gave me a patch for freebsd that i'll intergrate into the next release (which i'm working on now). in the mean time, i'll upload it to sourceforge. look on the project patches page.

Tried the patch; it worked fine. Thanks.
