This fixes the following AC warning: ``` configure.ac:6: warning: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE: two- and three-arguments forms are deprecated. For more info, see: configure.ac:6: https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake.html#Modernize-AM_005fINIT_005fAUTOMAKE-invocation ``` As per the deprecation notice, using `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE` for setting the version is mostly obsolete because the package and version can be obtained from Autoconf’s `AC_INIT` macro.
nwipe is a command that will securely erase disks using a variety of recognised methods. It is a fork of the dwipe command used by Darik's Boot and Nuke (dban). nwipe is included with partedmagic if you want a quick and easy bootable CD version. nwipe was created out of a need to run the DBAN dwipe command outside of DBAN, in order to allow its use with any host distribution, thus giving better hardware support.
To use from the git repository, first create all the autoconf files with
./init.sh
Then do the standard ./configure --prefix=/usr && make && make install
