Re: [Vala] [Fwd: Binary File is not seekable ?!?]

[raum no-log org]

Hello,

Let me explain. I want to create a tool for Linux and Windows.

I need to open a binary file and seek to a position... With MingW on
Windows, it runs without error but on Linux, I've a "seekable" error with
the same code, same compile options, etc.

I dont understand why...

##### Code

 public void main() {
    try {
       File file = File.new_for_path ("test.pcap");
       DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream (file.read ());
       stdout.printf("seekable: %s\n",(dis.can_seek())?"true":"false");
    } catch (Error e) {
    }
 }

##### WINDOWS 32bits / MingW32

$ valac --pkg gio-2.0 seek.vala
$ ./seek
seekable: true

###### LINUX -Ubuntu 13.03- 64 bits

$ valac --pkg gio-2.0 seek.vala
$ ./seek
(process:8097): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_seekable_can_seek: assertion
`G_IS_SEEKABLE (seekable)' failed
seekable: false


Do you have an idea why it's running on Windows but not on Linux ?

Thanks
