off64_t

["Marc M. Adkins" <So...@Doorways.org>]

I just updated from the HEAD on a Mandrake Linux 9.1 box.  Ran buildconf and 
configure and compiled, which went OK.  When I recompile my own code, 
however, I get an error:

	apr.h:262: parse error before "apr_off_t"
	apr.h:262: warning: data definition has no type or storage class

After much fussing around I determined that editing apr.h to change off64_t to 
__off64_t did the trick.  Semi-random googling indicated perhaps there was 
some renaming going on with this type(def), perhaps my compiler isn't up to 
snuff, or I'm not using the right flags.

The error is probably because -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE was not defined when
apr.h was included. You *must* build your code using the output of
`apr-config --cppflags --cflags`, etc.
