[Pkg-ace-devel] Bug#785728: Bug#785728: Bug#785728: libace-dev: ACE_OFF_T is only 32bit by the includes, thus preventing the build of JAWS

[Pau Garcia i Quiles]

Hello,

If the library uses -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64, then your
application must also use that. You cannot combine code otherwise.

I think the solution requires two actions:


   - Make sure JAWS uses -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 too

   - Add a note about -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 in
   README.Debian
