[Cfengine-develop] [PATCH] Compile with large file support when available

[Tuomas Jormola]

Hi,

Currently for instance on Linux/glibc platform cfengine doesn't support 
files of over 2 gigabytes in size. For example an lstat call in code 
implementing the files action generates an error when it encounters a 
large file. This can be fixed with a simple recompilation with some 
special compilation flags (eg. -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE 
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 on Solaris 8 and -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 on 
Linux). A portable way to query these flags is described in 
<URL:http://www.suse.de/~aj/linux_lfs.html>. Based on this I created a 
patch against configure.ac of cfengine-2.1.10. Now cfengine is 
automatically compiled with large file support if it's available. 
Please apply the patch.

br,
