[Dovecot] inotify support in dovecot

[Reuben Farrelly]

Hi,

I note that dovecot supported inotify from -test77, and now the Linux kernel 
supports it starting from linux-2.6.13-rc3.  So in theory I should be set to 
go.  I'm using an -mm kernel, and it was built with inotify, on FC4/devel.

However when trying to build with it using --with-notify=inotify, I always 
seem to be getting this message:

checking for poll... yes
configure: error: inotify requested but not available, check for existence of 
<linux/inotify.h>
/bin/sh ./config.status --recheck

What is required for inotify to be recognised and built into dovecot?  I've 
tried copying the header from linux-2.6/include/linux/inotify.h to the 
/usr/include/linux directory, but that didn't help - and seems wrong to do anyway.

Has anyone else had any experiences with inotify/dovecot?
