I suggest AC_SYS_LARGEFILE should #define _LARGEFILE, at least for VMS See: http://h71000.www7.hp.com/commercial/c/docs/5763pro_033.html https://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2009-12/0278.html https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Porting_Open_Source_to_OpenVMS I have another suggestion. Instead of having autoconf selectively define stuff based on behavioral probes, I kinda want autoconf to unconditionally #define stuff, like: #ifndef _LARGEFILE #define _LARGEFILE #endif #ifndef _LARGE_FILES #define _LARGE_FILES 1 #endif #ifndef _FILE_OFFSET_BITS #define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS 64 #endif Because, in particular, I just want to copy/paste these into some central header file, w/o configure deciding, on the theory that they never do any harm. - Jay _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
