Hi Ben, I've just found that Cabextract thinks Mac OS 10.6 can't read large files. Therefore, when you try to cabextract a file that either is over 2 GB, or that *says* in its header it's over 2 GB, you get this message:
> sj...@smbp$ cabextract -q --directory=tmp arial32.exe > arial32.exe: library not compiled to support large files. (arial32.exe, here, is a file from the Corefonts project; it says in its header it's over 2 GB, while in fact it is 540 KB) By modifying config.h between ./configure and make, it's possible to make Cabextract believe the system can unpack them just fine: > sj...@smbp:$ cabextract -q --directory=tmp arial32.exe > sj...@smbp:$ ls tmp > Arial.TTF Arialbd.TTF Arialbi.TTF Ariali.TTF FONTINST.EXE fontinst.inf I've attached a working cabextract.info to this e-mail; the only change apart from a rev-up to 1.3-3 is the added CompileScript: CompileScript: << ./configure %c /bin/echo "#define _LARGEFILE_SOURCE" >>config.h make << If you can find a more elegant way to get _LARGEFILE_SOURCE in config.h, that would be much better - but at least this workarounds the bug. :) Do you agree with this fix? If so, I can commit it for you, or you can do it yourself if you want. Thanks, Sjors
