It seems that syscall is only required in uv_*.c about raft HOT 4 CLOSED

Hey @freeekanayaka,

I would be really interrested on those #ifdef's you are talking about, I am currently working on OSX and everytime I need to test the work I do I need to rsync it to a remote linux machine and compile there.

Would be glad if you help me, and probably others, compile on any OS :)

It's not essential, but I placed it in the top-level core because it might be useful for implementing other non-libuv based backends in the future.

Does it create problems for you?

Right now it might prevent building on non-linux platform, but I can easily put some #ifdef's to skip building linux-specific parts on non-linux. Would that be enough?

I am currently working on OSX

Do you mean you are just developing on OSX and you're actual target deployment target is Linux, or that you actually want to use libraft on OSX?

In the latter case you might want to look at @AshfordN's work on the Windows port, #119 .

I am actually developping on OSX and targeting linux.

But in a near future I would like to be able to run libraft on any platform, I already saw #119 and it seems really promising as the only part that is missing is the Windows support IIUC :)

I just opened #130 to explain a little bit more about the work I want to achieve.
