Compilation fails on CentOS 6 - 'IN_EXCL_UNLINK' undeclared #13

Open pjtait opened 5 years ago

It seems this definition is missing from sys/inotify.h on CentOS 6.

It seems this project is abandoned. @raamsri hasn't made updates since 2018 and it's unlikely that this will ever be resolved, unfortunately.

What a shame - so, so, so many StackOverflow answers point to this as a good file watching alternative to the issues inherent with inotifywait.

Hey @dmmceldowney , @pjtait description of the issue clearly mentions the missing reference. It's probably to do with the system libraries that came along with that distribution. Few of the dependencies are mentioned as well - https://github.com/tinkershack/fluffy#dependencies . Fluffy still continues to deliver :)

No updates have been made because the essentials are all met and the piece of code in itself hasn't failed badly; at least not noticeably yet for those who are running it. Cheers mate!
