[Evolution-hackers] about large file support in Evolution

[Carlo Daffara <mailing mail conecta it>]

Sorry for what may be a faq (but Google! didn't help me).
I am interested in using Evolution to store a large set of mail folders,
some larger than 2Gb, and use the Vfolder functionality to help in mail
searches in this email corpus. The evolution binary we are using seems not
compiled with large file support, so we have to artificially split things
up.
We are so in the process of recompiling everything with
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 and -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE; and would like to ask:

* is there any problem in this on traditional intel/amd x86 architectures?
  that is, is there anything in evolution or the support libraries that
  may not work correctly?
* what libraries should also support largefile? I suppose Medusa and the
  other gnome libs, is this right?
Thank you very much for any indication, and of course if there is anyone
else interested (and it works :-)) I will prepare some rpms for public
download.
cheers
