As mentioned in previously reported bugs, it doesn't compile.
The fix is trivial and I can't see how it broke or worked as it was.
Fix is to add 1 line typedef after the fam.h include in the "Gamin.xs" file.
typedef enum FAMCodes FAMCodes;
The code uses 'FAMCodes' as a type, but it is only declared as
an enum in the current fam.h.
Perhaps at one point there was a version of 'fam.h'
that had the 'typedef' included with the enum ?
I have no idea how to patch this code to make it work for others,
obviously this is abandoned work. I don't even know if it is
'useful'...:-)...it's just that the other FAM perl modules I loaded
worked. and this one, based on them, didn't. I looked into it to see
why. I know nothing about .xs programming...just looked at the overall
template and created a patched version of the tar on my system and the
CPAN shell made and installed it with no problem.
Do I need to take over this project to make a once line change to fix
someone else's code? (I'd rather not...)...
The fix is above... so anyone who wants to fix it...go for it.
