To develop MacFUSE-based file systems, you DO NOT need to compile MacFUSE itself. Use a release or developer build of MacFUSE available from the official website, and you are good to go. > I was toying with the script a little and when explicitly setting the > '-sdk /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/' at the xcodebuild command line > got the build going, but it bailed out later on because of another > error.

But whatever those problems might be, they are unlikely to be fixed by building MacFUSE yourself. Compiling MacFUSE yourself is unnecessary and an academic exercise at best for most people. Before there were developer builds of MacFUSE available, at least it made more sense because developers *had* to build MacFUSE themselves to test against prerelease code. Now that developer releases are available (and are very frequent), that need is no longer there. > Any suggestions on where to go from here? Install the developer binary release.
