FUSE not found

[stefan11]

Hi, I try to install bindfs on MacOS Big Sur and get. FUSE not found.

I guess I messed up by installing FUSE from the project web page and then trying to install it via homebrew.

Any suggestions would be great. Fuse is there, config file as well, but the configure script is unhappy.

more /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/fuse.pc
prefix=/usr/local
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include

Name: fuse
Description: Filesystem in Userspace
Version: 2.9.9
Libs: -L${libdir} -lfuse -pthread
Libs.private: -liconv -framework CoreFoundation -framework DiskArbitration
Cflags: -I${includedir}/fuse -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/fuse.pc (END)

In #99 a similar issue was solved by reinstalling macfuse via homebrew. Does that help?

I tried this. I also looked at this first. But my system seems to be different. I installed mac fuse from their webpage first and maybe this left traces. The reinstall of macfuse said it was successful, but configure does not find fuse:

checking for pkg-config... no
checking for fuse3... no
checking for fuse... no
checking for fuse... no
configure: error: FUSE not found

Thanks!

I have the exact problem that @stefan11 desribes.

I have installed both macFUSE via the .dmg and osxfuse via brew install osxfuse

I also faced the same issue, managed to compile bindfs with:

export fuse_CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include/fuse -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64"
export fuse_LIBS="-L/usr/local/lib -lfuse -pthread"
./configure --with-fuse2 && make && make install

Confirming that #100 (comment) works with both macFUSE and fuse-t. The latter needs minor adjustment, you need to say -lfuse-t instead of -lfuse in fuse_LIBS.
