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?
As far as I know, gvfsd-fuse makes every gvfs "volume" accessible via
fuse, under $HOME/.gvfs. This allows any non-gvfs aware process to also
access these files and directories, as fuse mounts are mapped into the
kernel vfs and can therefore always be access by open(), read() write()
syscalls and everything that builds on top of that.
I'd definetely would never drop fuse support, but it depends what you
use your computer for. You might not have any need for this. f
