Tony, would you be willing to try to build glib 2.25.3 on the Mac with
"fam" instead of "inotify" in the native part of the glib.mk? For
your convenience, I'm attaching a glib.mk that might work. If it
works, maybe Volker has a suggestion about the best way to detect
Linux/non-Linux and select inotify or fam in the glib.mk.
I overlooked the "--disable-fam" option in the glib.mk I attached in my
last message. I suppose that's not appropriate. You might also want to
experiment with not explicitly making the various subprojects of below
'$(1).native/gio/.
Is there any possibility to build the native glib simply without fam
and without inotify?
The native glib is just built because it provides some code generators,
and I doubt that these code generators really need fam/inotify.
Did you already try to get rid of them? If so, why didn't that work
for you?
