fsnotifier for your ARM laptop

Install fsnotifier for IntelliJ IDEA on your ARM laptop.

Works better than one might expect with JDK8.

Usage:
$ sh fsnotifierto.sh /opt/idea/bin/

...

Sorry for the truncate insanity.

Sadly not much I can do:
http://git.jetbrains.org/?p=idea/community.git;a=blob;f=platform/platform-impl/src/com/intellij/openapi/vfs/impl/local/FileWatcher.java;hb=HEAD#l221

fsnotifierto.sh

#!/bin/sh

set -e

for f in fsnotifier.h \
         inotify.c \
         main.c \
         make.sh \
         util.c
do
  curl \
    "http://git.jetbrains.org/?p=idea/community.git;a=blob_plain;f=native/fsNotifier/linux/$f;hb=131" \
    -o $f
done

sh make.sh

strip fsnotifier fsnotifier64

# Should check against truncation
truncate -s 29155 fsnotifier64
truncate -s 22791 fsnotifier

cp fsnotifier fsnotifier64 $1

Awesome, built like a charm!

Same here, perfect!!

In inotify.c http://git.jetbrains.org/?p=idea/community.git;a=blob_plain;f=native/fsNotifier/linux/inotify.c there is

#if defined(__i386__)
__asm__(".symver memcpy,memcpy@GLIBC_2.0");
#elif defined(__amd64__)
__asm__(".symver memcpy,memcpy@GLIBC_2.2.5");
#endif

I don't know why they think they need this, but on current archlinux arm that doesn't link. Just removing this block makes it work.

Also I couldn't get it to work so I thought it might need a new size and downloaded the original archive and found that it contains fsnotifier-arm now. So on distributions that include this binary in their package, it should just work.
