Hi, I tried to compile rsync-2.5.2 on Solaris 5.7 Ultra-2 machine, 5.7 on Ultra-2 is running 64 bit, but, when I ran configure, it said no for largefile, I thought 2.5.2 will support large file? Is that true? Thanks, Jennifer
Hi Albert, Thanks for the quick reply. Configure was run successfully, just curious for the output, because I ran it on Ultra-2 which is running 64-bit, even the output from configure saying 64, but why the next line "checking for _LARGE_FILES value needed for large files... no" say no, configure: loading cache /dev/null configure: Configuring rsync 2.5.2 checking build system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.7 checking host system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.7 checking target system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.7 checking for gcc... no checking for cc... cc checking for C compiler default output... a.out checking whether the C compiler works... yes .. checking for remsh... 1 checking for broken largefile support... no checking for special C compiler options needed for large files... no checking for _FILE_OFFSET_BITS value needed for large files... 64 checking for _LARGE_FILES value needed for large files... no .. Does it mean that it doesn't support largefile?

Is that true?Please be more specific. What configure output are you having difficult with? I just built 2.5.2 with CFLAGS=-xarch=v9 and get: .. checking for broken largefile support... no checking for special C compiler options needed for large files... no checking for _FILE_OFFSET_BITS value needed for large files... no checking for _LARGE_FILES value needed for large files... no This is to be expected as -xarch=v9 enables 64-bit mode which defaults to supporting large files (because we're using 64-bit integral types). -- albert chin (china@thewrittenword.com)
Hi Albert,
Thanks for the help. I did compile rsync2.5.2 with 64 bit,
just want to confirm if I got it right.
When I ran rsync --version, I got:
% ./rsync --version
rsync version 2.5.2 protocol version 26
Copyright (C) 1996-2002 by Andrew Tridgell and others
<http://rsync.samba.org/>
Capabilities: 64-bit files, socketpairs, hard links, symlinks, batchfiles, no
IPv6,
64-bit system inums, 64-bit internal inums
Thanks,
Jennifer
