I try to install with lsyncd in FreeBSD 8, but faild.
I had installed: xinetd build libxml2.
any ideas?

the configure had ok, and make info is:
# make
make  all-am
if gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DXML_CONFIG -I. -I. -I.     -Wall  `xml2-config 
--cflags` -g -O2 -MT lsyncd.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/lsyncd.Tpo"  -c -o lsyncd.o 
`test -f 'lsyncd.c' || echo './'`lsyncd.c;  then mv -f ".deps/lsyncd.Tpo" 
".deps/lsyncd.Po";  else rm -f ".deps/lsyncd.Tpo"; exit 1;  fi

FreeBSD is not currently supported. lsyncd uses inotify to monitor files and 
inotify is only part of modern Linux kernels.

As dansimau correctly noted, lsyncd is coded with inotify which is a linux only 
feature.

freebsd has a similar feature called "kqueue". I suppose lsyncd could be 
changed with compiletime switches to handle kqueue as well. Thus getting lsyncd 
to run on freebsd requires some code changes. Gladly would like to see if you 
have patches to lsyncd for this.
