GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 333533
gamin-related build failure on SUSE 10.0
Last modified: 2007-02-19 17:48:37 UTC
gamin fails to build on SUSE Linux 10.0 (see Bug #333497) because it picks up the wrong headers. A workaround is to ./configure --disable-inotify; a better idea would probably be to use FAM instead until gamin has stabilized or hack gamin to pick up kernel headers rather than glibc headers.
The build failure was observed with GARNOME 2.13.92.
This seems to be a SUSE specific issue related to out-of-date kernel/glibc headers.
gamin picks the wrong headers (two sets are installed), which is certainly a gamin bug and not a bug outside gamin. For details, please see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=333497#c2
As written in the other bug report, adding -I/usr/src/linux/include to CFLAGS appears to fix the problem.
bug persists in GARNOME 2.14.0, bumping Version field.
quoting comment 3: > which is certainly a gamin bug Then this is the wrong product to file this bug... Hmm, let's see. Anyway, not a blocker at all.
I believe this to actually be a duplicate of bug 333497. Also does this issue still persist with gamin 0.1.8? There have been some fixes re inotify. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 333497 ***
