| I don't think that'll work. O_LARGEFILE is typically used as a flag |
| 44 |
| within fopen(), eg: |
| 45 |
| |
| 46 |
| fd = fopen("movie.mpg", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE); |
| 47 |
| |
| 48 |
| There is the very real possibility that the program doesn't have the |
| 49 |
| capability to read large files. In which case, a patch is in order. |

Hmmm... I just built it on IRIX from the same sources with gcc (as |
| 54 |
opposed to MIPSPro, IRIXs own cc), and it works perfectly. It leads me |
| 55 |
to think that something its linking against is the problem. Dunno what |
| 56 |
though. |
