Excellent. I will have a look at your changes sometime.
Not so :-) ... I really do it in a hurry.
Please keep in mind it is a first shot.
I just hacked the configure script, but I should have add a test for
sys/mntent (instead I just changed mntent in sys/mntent)
I also used gcc as a compiler but It might be possible to use Sun
WorkShop 6.2 c++ compiler (need more work).
But the main issue I'd like to fix is the polling. I'd like to use it
for nautilus and it really need better performance/timeout.
No, there isn't.
I believe Solaris has a special device, /dev/poll, which is designed to
perform monitoring in a way similar to IMon, but this may have been
introduced in Solaris 7 or 8. We do not yet support this.
If you're planning on adding such support:
- you might like to apply the DNotify patch and use to
Monitor pseudo-interface it provides
- you might like to wait until I finish FAM 2.7, in which I
plan to provide a much more generic file monitor interface,
and reworked autoconf scripts, but this is unlikely to be
finished for a few months
Then I think I'am going to give it a try now.
Thanks for the tricks. I found /dev/poll in docs and I'am trying to use it.
I'll soon be back to ask more.
