fuseHFS

A macFUSE filesystem built on top of hfsutils/libhfs to enable working with classic Macintosh Hierarchial File System (HFS) HFS on modern Macs.

This project is based on the LoopbackFS macFUSE example project.

Prerequisites

1. maxFuse 4.2.4+
2. Xcode 13+
3. macOS 12+

Installation

1. Clone this repository
2. Open fuseHFS.xcodeproj
3. Run

fusehfs's Issues

A few things I needed to fix to get this to compile

I cloned fuseHFS to my local machine but had to do a few extra steps before getting it to compile in XCode on macOS 13.1. I thought it would best to list them here for future reference or if anyone wants to try to do the same.

First I was getting errors that said "build input file cannot be found". It turns out that hfsutils/hfsutils-master is a git submodule so I had to pull it with the following commands in the terminal after you cd into the fuseHFS directory:

rm -r hfsutils/hfsutils-master
git submodule update --init --recursive

Next I got an error that said write declaration had wrong variable input
in on line 46 of hfsutils/hfsutils-master/libhfs/os/unix.c
from

ssize_t write(int, const char *, size_t);

to

ssize_t write(int, const void *, size_t);

After that I was able to get XCode to compile fuseHFS. Hopefully this information can help others out if they are having trouble. I will test trying to mount a HFS formatted disk and report back on if it worked or not.

binary release?

Assuming this is at a working state, is there any chance of a binary release?

thanks!
