Can anyone comment on what would be required to make the htdig 3.2b4 code 64 bit clean ?

I'm not familiar with issues on Solaris, but ht://Dig has long been "clean" on Alpha systems. So it should be 64-bit clean as-is. The Berkeley DB code is most definitely 64-bit clean and handles databases up to 4TB if you've got the hardware for it.


I am merging large databases, and the htmerge requires >4Gb memory so I have had to compile using -m64 (Solaris 8, gcc 3.2.1) but had to make some small changes in the code to make it compile, and to avoid a segmentation error.

OK, what changes did you make exactly? What snapshot did you use? Are you attempting to compile/use shared libraries?


I am indexing > 400,000 pages - any thoughts on whether htdig 3.3 can scale to this ?

I'm curious why this is causing problems. I know people who have 32-bit systems that easily handle 400,000+ pages. How big are your databases exactly? Are your problems limited to htmerge? (In which case, I likely know the problem, and it's not due to 64-bit addressing.)
