Can you please consider installing the man page? Thanks!

It'd be very convenient if you added a CMake "find" module to this package, so that it can be immediately found as a dependency by CMake (I'm working on a program that depends on it). The upstream project is migrating to CMake, but they haven't yet set up target exports and config generation, so this is the next best thing.

You'd have to add one file into the AUR git repo (FindLibFsWatch.cmake) and alter the PKGBUILD to install it. Here's the file and the changes prepared: https://gist.github.com/randrej/c1e5b6b69c86ed4283ca8a89f98b0a11

Interesting @kicer, I get that same issue. Looking at config.log, it's clang complaining about one of the arguments:

config.log:clang-13: error: unknown argument: '-fvar-tracking-assignments'

This argument comes from my /etc/makepkg.conf, under DEBUG_CFLAGS and DEBUG_CXXFLAGS. Deleting this argument from those flags fixes the problem.

This has no impact on debugging quality, because:

VTA is enabled by default when compiling code with optimizations and debugging information enabled (that is, gcc -O -g or, more commonly, gcc -O2 -g).1
