Hi there

I am trying to compile mirall-1.0.0 on my Mac (OS X 10.7.3) and I get following error:

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make

...
[ 21%] Building CXX object src/CMakeFiles/mirall_static.dir/mirall/folderwatcher.cpp.o
/Users/michele/mirall-1.0.0/src/mirall/folderwatcher.cpp:32:25: error: sys/inotify.h: No such file or directory
...

This is actually correct since under OS X the "sys/inotify.h" header file is not installed and as I read on some forums I can not install it but there are other options to use, for instance FSEvents [1], kqueue and kevent [2]). So… what are we - mac users - supposed to do ;-) ?

Thx, Michele
