I get this error-message when I try to compile the pvr-testing branch of XBMC
And I saw here somebody with the same problem: http://www.ip-phone-forum.de/showthread.php?t=198612
but with a other porgram.

My operating system is Ubuntu Karmic Koala Alpha 5 (32bit) with the latest updates.

If I'm right, the error must be in the following few lines of code:

#if defined(_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE) || _FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64
    ZEXTERN gzFile ZEXPORT gzopen64 OF((const char *, const char *));
    ZEXTERN off64_t ZEXPORT gzseek64 OF((gzFile, off64_t, int));
    ZEXTERN off64_t ZEXPORT gztell64 OF((gzFile));
    ZEXTERN uLong ZEXPORT adler32_combine64 OF((uLong, uLong, off64_t));
    ZEXTERN uLong ZEXPORT crc32_combine64 OF((uLong, uLong, off64_t));
#endif

the unmodified one looks like this:

#ifdef _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE
   ZEXTERN gzFile ZEXPORT gzopen64 OF((const char *, const char *));
   ZEXTERN off64_t ZEXPORT gzseek64 OF((gzFile, off64_t, int));
   ZEXTERN off64_t ZEXPORT gztell64 OF((gzFile));
   ZEXTERN uLong ZEXPORT adler32_combine64 OF((uLong, uLong, off64_t));
   ZEXTERN uLong ZEXPORT crc32_combine64 OF((uLong, uLong, off64_t));
#endif

update:

I changed the following line from
#if defined(_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE) || _FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64
to
#ifdef _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE

and XBMC has compiled without any problems and works great now

Occuring during mplayer compilation.

And yes, the snippet does fix compilation.

[Zan Dobersek (zandobersek)]

Occured when compiling gtk+ 2.16.6. Again, snippet fixes it.

[Fabricio Campos Zuardi (fabricio)]

Same thing for when compiling FFMpeg trunk on Karmic Alpha 5 + updates, 32bit machine. Snippet fixed here as well.
