Hi I need a method to monitor changes in a linux server directory and tried an examlple program from
https://www.freepascal.org/~michael/articles/#dirwatch.
When building I get warnings about deprecated symbols "mtime nsec", "size","mode", "uid", "gid".
When first time running i get a "Debugger Exception Notification" with text Project dirwatch raised exception class 'EConvertError' with message: 16:50:4.43103 is not a valid time specification.
If I break I'm taken into SYSUTILS_ENCODETIME.
If I select continue I get error message 16:50:4.43103. If I press OK and select a directory to watch the watching window is opened but without an indication of what directory I selected. When adding some file to the supposedly watches directory nothing happens.
When selecting "portable mode" and a directory the app starts working and notifies about changes.
I very much would appreciate any help make the app to work under linux so I can develop it to my specifical needs.
I'm on Lazarus IDE v1.2.4 and Mageia linux
