Hi Ben,
Thanks for your direction. I have either misunderstood the initial suggestions
from Maciej or I am even further off now.
I think I have to clarify my understanding that using "a special 64-bit file access API"
means to "build the binary in 32-bit mode with largefile support, specifically
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 and -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE passed to the compilation process".If this is
so, then a recompile of the binary is the ONLY way to solve this problem. I will leave it up to the
OpenCSW maintainers to determine the advantages of compiling in 64-bit or 32-bit with largefile
support and patiently and passionately await for the release of a new CSWsendmail package.
In the mean time I'll find another workaround. Thank you all for your support!
Owen
1) Find, install, configure, use "a special 64-bit file access API"
This is probably the simpler of the two however I how no idea how to
do it. Can you direct me on this or point me to some reading
material?
Start with:
man largefile
man lfcompile
2) Build "the binary in 64-bit mode" I hope I don't have to do this
so I'll explore this last.
If sendmail wasn't built with large file support, it'll need to be
rebuilt. Specifically, it would need -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 and
-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE passed to the compilation process.
While I agree that CSWsendmail should be updated, having a 2G mbox
file scares me a little bit. :)
