Currently, a new kernel support, File Events Notification API, have been implemented at Solaris, and will integreted into Solairs recently, that's the reason I try to think port Gamin, so I think the kernel support maybe not big problem at the moment, (if it can fully support Gamin, I need to verify when try to port Gamin). And currently my concern is if Gamin can run with our SunRay, and is there any special pre-requisites for building/run Gamin?
