I believe (not sure for a fact, but fairly sure) that zlib has nothing to do with this size limitation... it has something to do with kernel 2.2.x. Files larger than 2gb can't exist with 2.2.x. I believe that for this to work though, not only must you be running 2.4.x, you must also compile your glib against 2.4.x... these are daunting tasks, run.
I'm not 100% sure on any of this though, if I'm a moron, someone please let me know. * Nicolas Salvagno ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: > i have just question > > It is possible to recompile the zlib in order to create some gzipped files > which are bigger than 2 Giga bytes ?????? > > something like that..... > > > #define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS 64 > #define _LARGEFILE_SOURCE > #define _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE > > > > Thanx > > > > > > > -- > ---------------------------------------- > > Nicolas Salvagno > > President LUG Linuxpien http://www.linuxpien.org > > Gnome developer http://www.linuxpien.org/projets.php3 > See also : > Profiler: A samba account administrator http://profiler.sourceforge.net > Xinstaller: A Graphical Installer http://xinstaller.sourceforge.net > > Hiroshima 45, Tchernoby 86, windows 95, RT 99 > > ---------------------------------------- > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
