Description Jordan Irwin 2015-01-12 18:21:25 UTC
I created some patches that allow wxHexEditor to be built on FreeBSD and
submitted them upstream. Unfortunately, it still can not handle opening devices
or RAM, but it does handle files.


>From http://www.wxhexeditor.org:

wxHexEditor is another Free Hex Editor, build because there is
no good hex editor for Linux system, specially for big files.

wxHexEditor is not an ordinary hex editor, but could work as
low level disk editor too. If you have problems with your HDD
or partition, you can recover your data from HDD or from
partition via editing sectors in raw hex. You can edit your
partition tables or you could recover files from File System
by hand with help of wxHexEditor. Or you might want to analyze
your big binary files, partitions, devices... If you need a
good reverse engineer tool like a good hex editor, you welcome.
wxHexEditor could edit HDD/SDD disk devices or partitions in
raw up to exabyte sizes.

Hi,

Due to an issue with the backend FreeBSD Bugzilla database, your original PR and any updates to it since have been lost.  I've recreated the original PR as best as I can, however any attachments and updates you submitted to the PR have been lost.  Please could you resubmit them?

Thanks, and apologies.

Comment 4 Kurt Jaeger freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-10-15 19:39:46 UTC
test-builds fail in poudriere on all platforms because of autoreconf in udis86 ?

Any ideas ?
