Hello, First, just to tell you that today I noticed version 0.1.2
out there, yet I am writing about my observations on version 0.1.1. Anyway, compiled version 0.1.1 from source on a Fedora
Core 3 x86 machine, where the kernel was not inotify-patched. Downloaded gamin-0.1.1.tar.gz from http://www.gnome.org/~veillard/gamin/sources/.
Found on a “make check” that all
scenarios worked O.K., but it seemed that none produced executables that tested
FAMStartExecuting or FAMStopExecuting events. So I wrappered Gamin with
my own code. Here are the results: The following events were reported: FAMChanged FAMDeleted FAMCreated FAMExists FAMEndExist The following events were NOT reported: FAMStartExecuting FAMStopExecuting While Gamin was watching the relevant directory, I
attempted to trigger the two execution events, listed above, on the command
line by executing scripts and binaries. Testing was done under the
bash shell. Question:
Are these problems known to occur? I could not find a bug report about
them on Bugzilla. Question: Are
these problems eradicated in version 0.1.2? If so, should I install from
the rpm: gamin-0.1.2-1.FC3.src.rpm?
Or from gamin-0.1.2.tar.gz?
Question:
Is it necessary to install inotify and effect the kernel patches to make Gamin
work as advertised? Note:
Also, an error occurs when FAMCancelMonitor() is executed against a registered
file/directory. Why? Is this a bug? Thanks, Mark Mason Senior Software Engineer General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems 210-442-4347 |
