Source: inotail
Version: 0.5-2
It failed to build on arm64:
http://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=inotail&suite=sid
The error was:
In file included from inotail.c:37:0:
inotify-syscalls.h:83:3: error: #error "inotify not supported on this
architecture!"
# error "inotify not supported on this architecture!"
If you want to make this work on arm64, the system call numbers are:
# define __NR_inotify_init1 26
# define __NR_inotify_add_watch 27
# define __NR_inotify_rm_watch 28
Note that arm64 does not have "inotify_init". Instead it has
"inotify_init1", which you can call with an argument of 0:
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/inotify_init.2.html
However, it wouldn't hurt to give inotify_init the extra argument, so
you could just add something like this:
+#elif defined (__aarch64__)
+# define __NR_inotify_init 26 /* it's inotify_init1, really */
+# define __NR_inotify_add_watch 27
+# define __NR_inotify_rm_watch 28
Then replace
return syscall(__NR_inotify_init);
with:
return syscall(__NR_inotify_init, 0);
