large files (>2GB)

Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 04/02/2002 - 23:45. Developers
A standard Motif File Open dialog does not see large files using Open Motif. BUT, does with lestiff. (However, lestiff does not support UIL, so is useless to me.) Am I the ONLY person trying to use large files with Motif?
Please help. -- Thanks!

I don`t know that size makes a difference here. Perhaps the problem isn`t size, which the dialog does not filter out by default, but the pattern. If the large files are data files with a particular extension (e.g. .big), and the pattern is set to match ".c", then the files won`t appear in the dialog listing. This answer assumes that you aren`t using a custom search procedure to filter the list.

No, it is not the filter. It is "*" in both cases.

I did a grep in your source code and could not find the large file flags. Perhaps it is as simple as adding the following flags

-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE

and recompiling your Motif.
