Hi,

Since gdk_input_add do not work with FILE *, GIOChannel *, but instead, only a file descriptor, you have to 
do this:

void filechangefunction(gpointer data, gint fd, GdkInputCondition condition)
{
  FILE *fp = (FILE *) data;

  ...
}

gdk_input_add (fileno(fp), GDK_INPUT_READ, filechangefunction, fp);
