I have a C application I am trying to compile for Mac OS X 10.6.4:

$ uname -v
Darwin Kernel Version 10.4.0: Fri Apr 23 18:28:53 PDT 2010; root:xnu-1504.7.4~1/RELEASE_I386

My gcc is as follows:

$ gcc --version
i686-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.2.1 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5664)

My Makefile is as follows:

CC=gcc
CFLAGS=-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -O3 -Wformat -Wall -pedantic -std=gnu99

all: myApp
    rm -rf *~

myApp: myApp.o
    ${CC} ${CFLAGS} myApp.o -lbz2 -o myApp
    rm -rf *~

clean:
    rm -rf *.o myApp

The issue is that my application makes calls to fseeko64 and fopen64, and uses the off64_t type for offsets. When I compile my application I get the following warnings and errors:

$ make myApp
gcc -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -O3 -Wformat -Wall -pedantic -std=gnu99   -c -o myApp.o myApp.c
myApp.c: In function ‘extractData’:
myApp.c:119: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘fseeko64’
myApp.c:119: error: ‘off64_t’ undeclared (first use in this function)
myApp.c:119: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
myApp.c:119: error: for each function it appears in.)
myApp.c: In function ‘extractMetadata’:
myApp.c:305: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘fopen64’
myApp.c:305: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast

My code builds without errors under Linux. What changes can I make to the source code to add large file support when building under Darwin?

A: 

The fseeko and similar commands work with large file support so no need for the fseeko64 etc Apple man page

+2  A: 

On Darwin file I/O is 64-bit by default (10.5 at least), just found this by grepping in /usr/include:

sys/_types.h:typedef __int64_t  __darwin_off_t;

unistd.h:typedef __darwin_off_t     off_t;

So all you need to do is something like

#ifdef __APPLE__
#  define off64_t off_t
#  define fopen64 fopen
...
#endif

Thanks, this was perfect.
