Hi,

Thank you very much.

The command worked well under CentOS 8.

This guide was based on Ubuntu 16.04 and 14.04; though, we’ll cross check this. Thanks for sharing this useful information.

Hello!

The tutorial is a bit outdated I think. Also the installation doesn’t seem to work out of the box completely.

Here’s what I had to do on (X)ubuntu 17.04 for making it work:

$sudo apt-get install texinfo
$ cd ~
$ git clone https://github.com/emcrisostomo/fswatch.git
$ cd fswatch/
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ sudo cp /usr/local/lib/libfswatch.so.9.0.0 /usr/lib/
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libfswatch.so.9.0.0 /usr/lib/libfswatch.so.0
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libfswatch.so.9.0.0 /usr/lib/libfswatch.so
$ sudo ldconfig  -n -v /usr/lib/

In reply to mohammad. @Mohammad, Yes, you was correct there should be isn't any space between "group install", the correct command is:

# yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'

Please install gcc libraries before compiling fswatch..

# yum install gcc

If you still get the same erro, then do

# wget http://people.centos.org/tru/devtools-2/devtools-2.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/devtools-2.repo
# yum upgrade
# yum install devtoolset-2-gcc devtoolset-2-binutils devtoolset-2-gcc-c++
# scl enable devtoolset-2 bash
