As long as one's not using latest, newest glibc which (iirc) has inotify.h on it's own, that is. Not my case till, I guess, Debian Etch moves to oldstable. thanks -- paolo GPG/PGP id:0x1D5A11A4 - 04FC 8EB9 51A1 5158 1425 BC12 EA57 3382 1D5A 11A4

If you do like the wiki says, you should have only a single inotify.h file containing also inotify-syscall.h's contents. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

But we need inotify.h. Do you know any place where to take it from, other then kernel? I see little point in placing the same file under different dir, unless there are (distro's) pkgs that provide it - eg in Debian's 3.1 there's none, in 4.0 there's klibc which places it under /usr/lib/klibc/; but then klibc docs say you're better off using linux/inotify.h if avail. So, what's the point of changing linux/inotify.h to sys/inotify.h if: 1. at best, they're just the same 2. the 1st is a standard path, the 2nd isn't (no pkgs, need to tweak by hand). -- paolo

The wiki entry seems to create /usr/local/include/sys/inotify.h and it should be possible to include that as .

[Dovecot] *notify config for 1.0.x doesn't enable inotify
hi, the current code has changed include linux/inotify.h to sys/inotify.h since 2006-01-17, but that won't work with inotify*.h as documented in the wiki. One has to either revert back to linux/inotify.h, or add #include to both configure.in and src/lib/ioloop-notify-inotify.c Or, just symlink sys/inotify.h -> linux/inotify.h. That's on Debian 3.1 (Sarge). -- paolo GPG/PGP id:0x1D5A11A4 - 04FC 8EB9 51A1 5158 1425 BC12 EA57 3382 1D5A 11A4
