The following reply was made to PR ports/160764; it has been noted by GNATS. From: John Hein <jhein@symmetricom.com> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, michiel.ml@nlnet.nl Cc: Subject: Re: ports/160764: If libinotify is installed, net/avahi-app doesn't build Date: Tue, 20 Sep 2011 11:08:51 -0600 This probably breaks a number of other ports as well. devel/glib20 is another, for instance. For many of these ports that break when libinotify is installed, adding -linotify to LDFLAGS helps it find the library (and thus satisfy undefined references). Whether that is the right thing to do (have a port built that actually uses this BSD incarnation of inotify successfully) for a particular port is a separate question, but it gets it compiling. In theory, devel/libinotify can be helpful for some of our ports now. For instance, devel/gamin could use it which may solve the problem of gam_server holding so many open file descriptors when using the kqueue implementation.
