Hi,

(CC'ing -bsd@ too, since basically the same email for owncloud-client 
has been sent there too.)

The problem affecting both kFreeBSD and Hurd is the implementation of 
FolderWatcher (in src/mirall/folderwatcher*): it seems owncloud-client 
provides own implementations for some OSes (Linux, Mac, Windows), 
leaving a compile error on other OSes.

As I see it, there are 3 different ways to deal with situation:
1) implement a null folder watcher to be used when there is no native
   one available
2) implement a folder watcher using QFileSystemWatcher to be used when
   there is no native one available
3) require the implementation of a folder watcher for $OS (on *BSD using
   kqueue, on Hurd using the file/dir notifications, etc), not building
   on that $OS until there is native folder watcher implemented
You should ask upstream which way they prefer/want, so eventual porting 
efforts could go according to that.

Note that I did not inspect owncloud-client further for other prorting 
issues.
