Bug#785728: [Pkg-ace-devel] Bug#785728: libace-dev: ACE_OFF_T is only 32bit by the includes, thus preventing the build of JAWS

[alex bodnaru]

hello thomas, thanks a lot for your reply. my system is i686 32bit. thus, the default for off_t is long. however, when libace is being built, the type gets long long, by -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64. thus, if i wish to build a program and link to libace, which already use ACE_OFF_T, which is off_t. please just try JAWS. it compiles ok, but fails to link, unless i set the same flags. since it took me some time to inquire, i'm asking you to put the said definitions in a file included with the definition of ACE_OFF_T. thanks in advance, alex On 05/26/2015 10:54 PM, Thomas Girard wrote: Hello, On 19/05/2015 18:06, alex bodnaru wrote: Package: libace-dev Version: 6.2.8+dfsg-1 Severity: important hello friend, when trying to build JAWS on i686 32bit, the size of ACE_OFF_T is 32bit, as opposed to the size calculated at the build time of the library, when it is 64bit, due to your flags in rules: -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 please put these definitions in the relevant includes, so that users of the library will also find it at the size the library has. Can you please share a snippet example? The severity seems a little bit too much to me.
