Using the supplied Makefile, I've built and tested it -myself for x86-linux and amd64-linux. With makefile.msc, Visual C++ -6.0 and nmake, you can build a native Win32 version too. Large file -support seems to work correctly on at least on amd64-linux. - -When I say "large file" I mean a file of size 2,147,483,648 (2^31) -bytes or above. Many older OSs can't handle files above this size, -but many newer ones can. Large files are pretty huge -- most files -you'll encounter are not Large Files. - -Early versions of bzip2 (0.1, 0.9.0, 0.9.5) compiled on a wide variety -of platforms without difficulty, and I hope this version will continue -in that tradition. However, in order to support large files, I've had -to include the define -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 in the Makefile. This -can cause problems. - -The technique of adding -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 to get large file -support is, as far as I know, the Recommended Way to get correct large -file support. For more details, see the Large File Support -Specification, published by the Large File Summit, at - - http://ftp.sas.com/standards/large.file - -As a general comment, if you get compilation errors which you think -are related to large file support, try removing the above define from -the Makefile, ie, delete the line - - BIGFILES=-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 - -from the Makefile, and do 'make clean ; make'. This will give you a -version of bzip2 without large file support, which, for most -applications, is probably not a problem. - -Alternatively, try some of the platform-specific hints listed below. - -You can use the spewG.c program to generate huge files to test bzip2's -large file support, if you are feeling paranoid. Be aware though that -any compilation problems which affect bzip2 will also affect spewG.c, -alas. - -AIX: I have reports that for large file support, you need to specify --D_LARGE_FILES rather than -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64. I have not tested -this myself. |
