What is the status of file alteration monitoring in the KDE-3.5 BRANCH?
The last release of FAM was 2.7.0 in +/- 11/2003. I obtained a DNotify
patch from a link at Linux From Scratch:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/downloads/6.1/fam-2.7.0-dnotify-1.patch
After 6.1, BLFS replaced it with Gamin.
I find that FAM will still compile with only minor tweaks to the Includes.
Should we continue to use FAM or should I install Gamin instead of FAM?
Will KDE find this to use in place of FAM although FAM appears to be
found and KDELibs builds against it OK?
I presume that if I am using the DNotify pach that I shouldn't compile
KDELibs with: "--enable-dnotify". It appears that: "--enable-inotify"
is the default. And here I find a problem. "config.log" says:
configure:55334: checking for Linux Inotify Notification
configure:55439: result: no
I checked my Kernel configuration and it has:
CONFIG_DNOTIFY=y
CONFIG_INOTIFY=y
CONFIG_INOTIFY_USER=y
I have Kernel-2.6.25.4 and am upgrading.
so, it appears that I have a problem. I will look at this in more
detail before I file a bug report.
Any suggestions?
