Installation

  wtch differs from fswatch in that it stops listening to events while make is run.

  This means that any files generated by make will trigger fswatch, whereas they will not trigger wtch.

  On the other hand, if you modify a file yourself while a make run is in progress, wtch will not run make again, even though you rightly expected it to.
