Hi,
I compile poppler via CMake and, if I try to open a large file (>2 GB) on my
32-bit linux system, I get the following error:
Error: Couldn't open file 'big.pdf': Value too large for defined data type.
Turns out that open() refuses to open large files unless
#define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS 64
is defined.
So I've checked how config.h is generated and I noticed that only autotool's
config.h.in defines _FILE_OFFSET_BITS.
CMake's config.h.cmake has this and a few similar macros commented out:
/* Number of bits in a file offset, on hosts where this is settable. */
/* #undef _FILE_OFFSET_BITS */
/* Define to 1 to make fseeko visible on some hosts (e.g. glibc 2.2). */
/* #undef _LARGEFILE_SOURCE */
/* Define for large files, on AIX-style hosts. */
/* #undef _LARGE_FILES */
On my system, manually setting #define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS 64
in the generated config.h file is enough to make LFS work.
Unfortunately, cmake stuff is out of my comfort zone, so I can't write a
proper patch myself :(
