Hello Ron, I'm CC'ing that message to debian-ia64 to get a wider audience. I am asking the list to CC their answers to Ron if applicable because he is certainly not subscribed.
We have currently a problem with wxwindows2.4 on ia64. All the binaries are compiled with off_t == long long which is wrong IMHO. You can see it after installing libwxgtk2.4: $ nm -D /usr/lib/libwx_gtk-2.4.so.0 | c++filt | grep wxFile::Read 000000000052f380 T wxFile::Read(void*, long long) The binaries are compiled with the following CFLAGS: $ wx-config --cflags -I/usr/lib/wx/include/gtk-2.4 -DGTK_NO_CHECK_CASTS -D__WXGTK__ -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGE_FILES The arguments '-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGE_FILES' are useless on ia64 but should not hurt. Now I have tried to recompile audacity which depends on wxwindows and 'off_t' is now 'long' only which means that it cannot be linked with wxwindows because C++ has strong type checking. After recompiling wxwindows it has 'off_t == long' too! I compiled a small C++ code fragment the uses 'off_t' and that compiles to 'long' too (not 'long long'). My questions are now: 1. Is 'off_t == long long' really wrong on ia64 as I assume? 2. Do we need to recompile wxwindow2.4 for ia64 and all packages that depend on it?
