[gentoo-user] building with off_t set as long long

[gentoo-user] building with off_t set as long long

[de Almeida, Valmor F.]

Hello,

Would anyone know whether it is possible to emerge a package setting
off_t as long long?

The particular case is the library gdbm. The default emerge sets off_t
to 4 bytes therefore file sizes can only be about 2GB. Setting off_t to
8 bytes would remove this constraint.

Thanks,

I suspect, this list is the wrong place for your question.
You should go either to the upstream or the OSS-QM project ;-P
