SSHFS does not compile: fuse3 not found

[freebrowser1]

Running macOS 10.16.3 Big Sur and Xcode 12.5 I tried compiling this package by running this:

userpc:~/scratch/sshfs-3.7.1/build % brew install fuse3`

And installing fuse3 with brew also failed.
I run macFuse 4.10.

Thanks for the report. As the error message said, you need fuse3 for SSHFS 3.x. This is not a bug - at least not in SSHFS.

But how can I get fuse3 ?
I cannot install it using Homebrew.

Looks like there is a pending feature request for OSXFUSE and some related discussion in Homebrew.

[freebrowser1]

Well, OSXFuse works fine on my Mac and Homebrew as well.
So it is an issue in sshfs.

Can I get a binary of sshfs ?

[freebrowser1]

I could not find this ticket anymore, hence I added a new one #253, but you closed it correctly. Sorry.

But where should I report this error as it is not an SSHFS error ?
It is not a Homebrew error as well.
Maybe Fuse ? Because Fuse works correctly.

you need to install libfuse development package first
