    Not exactly, but dvd support turned it on, so the compile line looked like

  gcc3 -MM -O2 -march=i686 -D_REENTRANT -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE

etc, etc. Anyway, it's a worthwhile question. Normally, on Linux, if you
get past the 2GB limit, you know it was compiled right, because of that
little signed 32-bit i_size in ext2, but I'm using xfs...

    Anyway, in the log file, there is the line

  File size is 4982643424 bytes

which I don't think would have printed correctly without the largefile
option.


    The original cause of this thread was a 2GB problem with an offset
defined as `int' rather than `off_t'. There are a number of other potential
danger spots in libmpdemux/stream.{c,h}, but my first glance at it left
me thinking they might be OK.
