Hi,
I'm the author of a FUSE based filesystem (s3backer) that runs on both
Linux and Mac OS X.
I'm trying to update the code to support Snow Leopard. Previously, I
was requiring users to use MacPorts for pkg-config and MacFUSE, which
worked fine.
Now I guess I'm supposed to tell them to install MacFUSE using
the .dmg file instead of MacPorts. OK, that sounds entirely
reasonable, so the world can have One True Install of MacFUSE. And in
any case, MacPorts does not have a 2.x version of MacFUSE in it.
Here is where it gets fuzzy though. It seems like the new MacFUSE
install doesn't install pkg-config .pc files -- or at least not where
a pkg-config installed via MacPorts can find them:
...
checking for pkg-config... /opt/local/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.19... yes
checking for FUSE... no
configure: error: "fuse" not found in pkg-config
I'm not sure if this is a pkg-config install problem, a MacFUSE
install problem, or is something missing from my configure.ac file, or
what.
I realized there is stuff on the HOWTO wiki page relating to this. But
am I really expected to ask my users to checkout MacFUSE from
Subversion and run shell scripts? Which don't work by the way:
$ svn co http://macfuse.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/core
...
$ ./core/macfuse_buildtool.sh -t swconfigure
...
checking for gcc...
gcc
checking for C compiler default output file
name...
configure: error: in `/Users/archie/
s3backer-1.3.1':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create
executables
See `config.log' for more
details.
Summary: it would be really nice if there were a developer-targeted
"best practices" document for how to configure autoconf in 3rd party
filesystems that want to build on both Linux and OS X. I'm sure I'm
not the only developer with questions about how to properly do this.
Thanks,
-Archie
