[fuse-devel] Trying to install fuse on centos6

[Laurence Grant]

Hey guys and gals,

I'm trying to install s3fs-fuse on centos 6

Cent 6 only has fuse 2.8.3 but >= 2.8.4 is required

following the instructions for s3fs-fuse I downloaded libfuse, but it wants
meson and ninja which I can't use at work. Therefore it said to run
./configure, but there is not configure in the project?

Next I searched and found fuse-3-0-1.tar.gz. I downloaded and installed
it. I had to link /usr/lib/pkgconfig/fuse3.pc to fuse.pc, but it seems to
work after doing that

However, when I try to install s3fs it gives compile errors such as

....fuse3/fuse_common.h:726:4 error: #error only API version 30 or greater
is supported

I'm assuming that s3fs is looking for a 2.8.4 or > version of fuse, but not
a fuse 3 version?

perhaps that's the libfuse, but I can't install it without ./configure as
per the READ.me, but there isn't a local configure. Do I need another
step, or is the readme out of date?

Any suggestions on how to get a newer version of fuse installed on centos6
to be compatible with s3fs is greatly appreciated.

I know centos7 is a no brainer, but my organization isn't on v7 yet. It's
coming. We're an enterprise. What can I say



Thanks,

Larry

Probably not just >= 2.8.4, but also < 3.0.0.

It is in the tarball, you probably just downloaded a snapshot of the Git
repository.
