Doesn't compile properly under Interix

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm interested in compiling lsyncd to run under Interix, specifically the 
version of SFU which comes with Windows 7. I got LUA and rsync to compile and 
install OK, but lsyncd is giving me some trouble.

A log of my build error is below. Any chance I could get a patch?

The environment you try to compile it under seems to have problems with some 
Posix structures, how does "struct dirent" look like?

Anyway, I doubt you will have an inotify interface on Interix with a 
Windowskernel. This rules out running Lsyncd on it :-(

Nuts. You're right. :(

I got lsyncd.c to compile by removing the if() statement at line 1113 and 
forcing the DT_UNKNOWN branch which uses lstat() and S_ISDIR() instead of 
(de->d_type == DT_DIR). I also had to add <sys/select.h> to the header 
#includes. 

But then once I got past lsyncd.c, inotify.c started throwing errors and I came 
to the same conclusion you did - that Interix doesn't offer that functionality. 
:(

Windows has its own event queues. Lsyncd would need its own adapter for that 
like it has already for Linux' inotify and OSX' fsevents. However, this isn't 
on my TODO list in any near future. 

At least I'll add <sys/select.h> to lsyncd.c, seems i forgot that.
