hello friend,

when trying to build JAWS on i686 32bit,
the size of ACE_OFF_T is 32bit,
as opposed to the size calculated at the build
time of the library, when it is 64bit,
due to your flags in rules:
-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
please put these definitions in the relevant
includes, so that users of the library will
also find it at the size the library has.

thanks in advance,
alex

Hello,

Can you please share a snippet example? The severity seems a little bit
too much to me.

Thanks,
Regards,

Thomas

Hello,

If the library uses -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64, then your
application must also use that. You cannot combine code otherwise.

I think the solution requires two actions:


   - Make sure JAWS uses -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 too

   - Add a note about -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 in
   README.Debian
