[OpenIndiana-discuss] recompiling a program for openindiana

[Till Wegmüller]

You can't just recompile and use the software like that I am afraid.

First of if OS specific code is not present for the OS you want to use
the application for you will need to write that Code. There is no way
around that.

Secondly Secure delete is absolutely Useless on a Copy-on-Write
Filesystem and SSD's for that matter. It will never overwrite the
blocks. If the Data Really matters use encryption.


Hope that helps
