Hi All,
Until today, I did not realize that there where 2 versions of fuse.
I've been using version 3. After taking a closer look at each package that uses
fuse,
it seems to me that they all using version 2.
In particular blfs states that gvfs has an optional dependency to fuse3.
I cannot build gvfs with fuse3, even with a --enable-fuse parameter.
The configure output always states:
FUSE support: no
Is there something I'm doing wrong?
I'm not sure Wayne. I generally don't do gnome and I think fuse3 is used
there.
Checking where fuse is used, I see references to it in gvfs, ntfs, and
sshfs. The only page that references fuse3 is gvfs and it is optional
there. I did build gvfs, but without fuse. Hopefully someone more
familiar with the systemd can give a more definitive answer.
I do think that the intro paragraph for fuse3 needs to be expanded.

I've cc'd the blfs-dev group as I'm quite certain that this is a bug.
Looking at the configure script, it clearly searches for fuse rather than
fuse3, e.g.
$PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "fuse"
I can also see that /usr/libexec/gvfsd-fuse was not installed.
After installing fuse-2.9.7, gvfs then successfully built and installed
/usr/libexec/gvfsd-fuse.
Which leads me to my second question, what is fuse used for?
Can someone give me a real world example of when gvfsd-fuse would be used?
I can no longer remember why I've included fuse as part of my build.
Looking back at my build history, I first added fuse back in 2012, when I added
Rhythmbox,
which I no longer use. I'm thinking of dropping fuse from my build all together.
Thanks,
Wayne.
sshfs is the only BLFS consumer now. ntfs-3g uses an internal copy.
Beyond those two, I don't know. As to the the bug, yes it seems so.
