Hi.
I got Britannica Encyclopedia 2009 of dsl format from ru.board.
I compressed all the avi, jpg and wav files into one zip file named a.dsl.files.zip whose size is greater than 3.5GB, while the dsl file named a.dsl.
However, GD can't display any images, and can't play audio files either. The size of the index file in ~/.goldendict is only 2.5MB, much smaller than expected.
But when only compressing fewer files, everything is OK.
I traced the code and found the function File::exists () using the return value of stat () to determine whether a file exists or not, but when the file size is too large, stat () always returns 1.

Sample code:

Code: Select all

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    struct stat buf;
      int exist = 0;
      if (stat( "/opt/goldendict/dictionary/BE/a.dsl.files.zip", &buf ) == 0) {
          exist = 1;
      } else {
          perror ("STAT: ");
      }
      printf("exist = %d", exist);
      return 0;
}

The output is :

Code: Select all

STAT: : Value too large for defined data type
exist = 0

Ubuntu 8.04 + ext3 + kernel 2.6.24 + libc 2.7-10ubuntu5

Thanks.

Thanks -- I didn't know that about stat(). I've committed the fix in GIT.

Hi,

I have same problems. For me seems to be better when GD would accept a folder named "dictionary.dsl.files" and all zips placed in that folder (img.zip, sound1.zip, sound2.zip, movie.zip......). For example in Longman dictionary you have more then 200,000 media files and it is a big problem (size, difficulties with zip creation etc.).

Otherwise thank you for the program - excelent!

The problem has been fixed in the latest git version.

A simple shell command to create zip file:

Code: Select all

find . \( -name "*.wav" -o -name "*.jpg" \) -print0 | xargs -0 zip -q filebasename.dsl.files.zip -@
