Xapian devel - Dec 2006 - xapian + win XP + 2GB

hi,

I have problem with Xapian on Win XP. I compile Xapian with VC 7.0 using 
win32.mak from Lemurconsulting. I want to use files 2GB+ but unfortunetly  this
not work. I know that configure in Linux version change something to allow using
large files.

Could anyone help me.

regards,
        Grzegorz

Just to add, I've been looking at this, and my first idea was to #define 
the following:

#define lseek _lseeki64
#define off_t __int64

The relevant source is btree.cc (for Quartz) and flint_table.cc (for 
Flint), in both cases functions called read_block and write_block. These 
appear to be the only places where lseek and off_t is used (apart from 
in xapian-compact which isn't relevant for this test).

It would take me a while to set up a 2GB index unfortunately, so I can't 
currently reproduce Grzegorz's results. One thing that might be 
instructive is knowing whether anyone has used index files this big 
using a Mingw version of Xapian...
