flac dev - Sep 2007 - creating flacs over 2GB

Hello All,

I was struggling with the need of creating flac files over 2GB recently.
Both the command line flac and my util using stream encoder returned
FLAC__STREAM_ENCODER_CLIENT_ERROR when reaching that point.

Finally I made a small change in libFLAC/stream_encoder.c in file_tell_callback_
function.
I replaced the ftello call to fgetpos. This seems to work very well under win32.

Based on the description at
http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Portable-Positioning.html I
think this should be also portable solution.

Hope this small change could help other users, too.

Istvan

the 2GB limit should only be a problem on windows with msvc.  thanks
for the tip, I will look into fgetpos for that case, hopefully it
will work with msvc6 which is what I compile the releases with.
