FSEvents is an API only available on OS X: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FSEvents It is understandable therefore that the fsevents npm module which provides a node interface to that OS API cannot be built on systems other than OS X, and that other software that wants to use fsevents on OS X would have planned for that contingency and provided an alternate implementation for other systems. In the case of karma, it appears to have been handled by making fsevents an optional dependency. -- Job board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ New group rules: https://gist.github.com/othiym23/9886289#file-moderation-policy-md Old group rules: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
