[Nexus-developers] [Nexus] Files lagrer tha 2GB

[Akeroyd, FA (Freddie)]

Stephane,

I've now added large file support to the NeXus configuration utility and it is enabled by default when you run ./configure if the operating system supports it (to disable support pass --disable-largefile to configure). The modified code is present in the latest trunk snapshot available at:

   http://download.nexusformat.org/kits/snapshots.shtml

If you wish to compile your existing distribution you just need to set the CFLAGS environment variable prior to running configure e.g.

   env CFLAGS="-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64" ./configure

Regards,

Freddie

Indeed the problem is that the NeXus library is not compiled with large files support. It is required for the function determineFileType() in napi.c, in which there is a call to fopen().
So the question is how to compile the NeXus library with the large file support ? I didn't see any option to do this in the file named 'configure' in the source distribution.

Thanks for your attention,

stephane

Just 2 things to check:
1. use a file system capable of handling large files (XFS, JFS are know to work)

2. try compiling  HDF+Nexus with
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE
