Description Michiel Leenaars 2011-09-16 13:30:09 UTC 
When libinotify is installed, avahi-app no longer compiles - which triggers a long list of things that also not compile.

Configure outputs:

 Enable Linux inotify:                      yes

[..]

The following error then occurs:


avahi_daemon-main.o(.text+0x5d5): In function `add_inotify_watches':
: undefined reference to `inotify_add_watch'
avahi_daemon-main.o(.text+0x11f2): In function `run_server':
: undefined reference to `inotify_init'
avahi_daemon-main.o(.text+0x5ee): In function `add_inotify_watches':
: undefined reference to `inotify_add_watch'
gmake[2]: *** [avahi-daemon] Error 1

gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/net/avahi-app/work/avahi-0.6.29'

How-To-Repeat: Install devel/libinotify, try to compile net/avahi-app.

Make this a ports PR, fix Synopsis, and assign.
Comment 2 John Hein 2011-09-20 18:08:51 UTC 
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.

Fixed by disabling libinotify, Thanks for the report!
