The following is a message I sent to the author of "TkWine", a nice tool for downloading, configuring, building. installing and running Wine, which unfortunately, doesn't work on FreeBSD! I'm really not knowledgeable enough to provide the information he requested in response, so I thought this might be a good place to ask. :-) I've Cc'ed this message to the author, to include him in any discussion that arises. He seems genuinely interested in getting this thing to work under FreeBSD.

I could avoid this error easily, but I prefer to know when it causes pb and fix it. Why do I need this? Because I provide an option for make in parallel on bi(or more) processors. This makes make much faster if it succed (ie the dependencies are written well in Makefiles...). So, better than switching the multi processor detection under FreeBSD, I'd prefer to find a way to make it working. As I don't have FreeBSD, I need your help. What I need is: output of uname -a from freeBSD and how do you know the # of processors under FreeBSD ? uname probably has an option for that. man uname > /tmp/uname.FreeBSD.man and send me the file would be great, or find out how it works and let me know. I really want to make it working on any unix suystem... but I can't test myself... Great if you can help FreeBSD to be added to the list of supported systems..... but be aware that, once this one is fixed, we still can encouter other pb (I know at least 2 places with critical instructions...) Thanks for using it and for your report.
