I think the only way to do with this is to have the Makefile detect if -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 is required to be added to CFLAGS based on some rule (e.g. uname output?), then add that to CFLAGS when needed. This is one area where autoconf is nice, as you can compile a thousand little C programs to see how the compiler reacts by default, and when you attempt to set this define, and then decide if you should include it or not. It is also the part of autoconf that's not-so-nice... as it compiles a thousand little C programs just to figure out how to compile the real program. ;-) -- Shawn. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlReceived on Sat Feb 17 20:50:45 2007
