Trouble compiling FUSE filesystems on OS X
fuse, macos, makefile, pkg-config
Solution
As far as the first problem, you need the OSXFUSE library somewhere the compiler can see it, or you need to tell the compiler where it is.
You may have some success using `mdfind` to locate the `osxfuse` library file, then add `-L/path/to/osxfuse` to the compile/configure script to the makefile.
Similarly, the for the second, try making sure boxfs2 knows about the fuse header: Looks like adding `-I/usr/local/include/osxfuse/fuse` might do it.
Problem
OS: OS X Mavericks (v10.9) FUSE: OSXFUSE v2.6.2 I'm trying to compile the loopback filesystem in C, but I'm getting this error: ``` $ make cc -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -I/usr/local/include/osxfuse/fuse -Wall -g -F/Library/Frameworks -o loopback loopback.c -losxfuse ld: library not found for -losxfuse clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) make: *** [loopback] Error 1 ``` Trying to compile boxfs2 also produces this error: ``` $ make Package libxml-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libxml-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'libxml-2.0' found Package libcurl was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libcurl.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'libcurl' found Package libapp was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libapp.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'libapp' found Package libjson was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libjson.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'libjson' found Compiling boxfs.c cc -c boxfs.c -o boxfs.o boxfs.c:15:10: fatal error: 'fuse.h' file not found #include <fuse.h> ^ 1 error generated. make: *** [boxfs.o] Error 1 ``` Can anyone point me in the right direction?
