Subject: [htdig3-dev] [SOLVED] --enable-bigfile problem

I have reasons to believe I've solved the --enable-bigfile problem.
There were several problems:
1) The evaluation of the --enable-bigfile (and --disable-bigfile) was
incorrect.
2) The generation of the HAVE_FILE_OFFSET_BITS flags in
include/htconfig.h and db/dc_config.h was done wrong.
I have no means to generate configure from configure.in et al
so I give you the corrections this way. By the way, I don't
know $%^&*@! about autoconf et al.
1) In configure.in, line 159 and following, the evaluation is done
incorrect. The values are "no" and "yes" and in the correspondig
configure file it is translated as:
3986 echo $ac_n "checking if --enable-bigfile option specified""... $ac_c" 1>&6
3987 echo "configure:3988: checking if --enable-bigfile option specified" >&5
3988 # Check whether --enable-bigfile or --disable-bigfile was given.
3989 if test "${enable_bigfile+set}" = set; then
3990 enableval="$enable_bigfile"
3991 db_cv_bigfile="no"
3992 else
3993 db_cv_bigfile="yes"
3994 fi
The "no" in line 3991 must be $enableval, because it sets the varaiable
to the value supplied to --enable-bigfile. Now it sets it always to "no"
if you supply --enable-bigfile. Don't know how to do it in
configure.in though.
In db/configure, line 1901 et al, the same problem as above.
Note that these problems also occur in acinclude.m4 and aclocal.m4. I
don't know which one(s) must be updated. Same in db/acinclude.m4 and
db/aclocal.m4
2) In configure.in, line 168 et al, there is a test:
if test "$db_cv_bigfile" = no; then
and it sets HAVE_FILE_OFFSET_BITS if you have the right
architecure.
Of course "no" must be "yes"...
in db/configure.in, line 175 et al, the same problem arises as in
configure.in.
Hope this helps...
