Bug#618033: pdflatex and files bigger than 2Gb

2011-03-21 Thread Pierre SCHNIZER
So to conclude, I am running tex-binaries and kpathsea build with --enable-largefiles and it works for me. It solves the problem that stat in texk/kpathsea/readdable.c will not fail on a CIFS file system, thus I can compile latex files stored on a CIFS system. So we'll simply patch the

2011-03-19 Thread Pierre Schnizer
Dear Hilmar, I tried using pdflatex build with Largefile support. I generated a pdffile larger than 2 GiB. Building this file works. The cross ref table at the end of the pdf file looks reasonable. But it can not be opened, neither by evince/xpdf nor py acrobat (x86/32bit). PDF files

Bug#618033: off_t vs long int

2011-03-17 Thread Pierre Schnizer

The short info first: the package you built works fine except it wants libstdc++ = 4.5 while 4.4 is the one installed on my box (matches squeeze http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/libstdc++6). I'm sorry! I built these packages in Debian unstable, where libstdc++ = 4.5 exists. I can provide
